high inertia and must move in both directions and change directions
rapidly requires four-quadrant capability from its drive.
A method of stopping a motor, caused when the inverter simply
turns OFF its motor output connections. This may allow the motor
and load to coast to a stop, or a mechanical brake may intervene and
shorten the deceleration time.
While frequency has a broad meaning in electronics, it typically
refers to motor speed for variable-frequency drives (inverters). This
is because the output frequency of the inverter is variable, and is
proportional to the attained motor speed. For example, a motor with
a base frequency of 60 Hz can be speed controlled with an inverter
output varying form 0 to 60 Hz. See also

harmonic
A is a whole number multiple of a base of fundamental
frequency. The square waves used in inverters produce high
frequency harmonics, even though the main goal is to produce
lower-frequency sine waves. These harmonics can be harmful to
electronics (including motor windings) and cause radiated energy
that interferes with nearby electronic devices. Chokes, line reactors,
and filters are sometimes used to suppress the transmission of
harmonics in an electrical system. See also
A unit of physical measure to quantify the amount of work done per
unit of time. You can directly convert between horsepower and Watts
as measurements of power.
Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor(IGBT) – A semiconductor
transistor capable of conducting very large currents when in
saturation and capable of withstanding very high voltages when it is
OFF. This high-power bipolar transistor is the type used in Hitachi
inverters.
The natural resistance a stationary object to being moved by an
external force. See also
A configurable input or output logic function on the Hitachi
inverters. Each terminal may be assigned one of several functions.
A device that electronically changes DC to AC current through an
alternating process of switching the input to the output, inverted
and non-inverted. A variable speed drive such as the Hitachi X200
is also called an inverter, since it contains three inverter circuits to
generate 3-phase output to the motor.
A transformer with 1:1 voltage ratio that provides electrical
isolation between its primary and secondary windings. These are
typically used on the power input side of the device to be protected.
An isolation transformer can protect equipment from a ground fault
or other malfunction of nearby equipment, as well as attenuate
harmful harmonics and transients on the input power.
