1.3 Product Overview

1.3.1 Intended Use

A frequency converter (also called a drive) is an electronic
motor controller that converts DC into a variable AC
waveform output. The frequency and voltage of the output
are regulated to control the motor speed or torque. The
frequency converter can vary the speed of the motor in
response to system feedback, such as with position sensors
on a conveyor belt. The frequency converter can also
regulate the motor by responding to remote commands
from external controllers.
The frequency converter
•
monitors the system and motor status
•
issues warnings or alarms for fault conditions
•
starts and stops the motor
•
optimises energy efficiency
Operation and monitoring functions are available as status
indications to an outside control system or serial communi-
cation network.
A Low Harmonic Drive (LHD) is a single unit that combines
the frequency converter with an advanced active filter
(AAF) for harmonic mitigation. The frequency converter
and filter are 2 separate pieces packaged together in an
integrated system, but each functions independently. In
this manual, there are separate specifications for the
frequency converter and the filter. Since the frequency
converter and filter are together in the same enclosure, the
unit is transported, installed, and operated as a single
entity.
