Useful tips__Frequency inverters

Is it possible to operate a three-phase asynchronous__motor on a monophase mains with speed control?

Yes! The output of the frequency inverter provides 3 x 230V, i.e., the motor windings are to be connected in delta. The power is maintained.

Is it possible to operate a Dahlander motor with a__frequency inverter?

Yes! To be able to use the whole speed range, the motor windings are to be connected in double star.

When is it necessary to use a braking chopper__in combination with a frequency inverter?

When large centrifugal masses are to be decelerated the drive motor goes over to generator operation (oversynchronous operation). As a result, the current is fed back into the inverter and the intermediate circuit voltage of the inverter increases. The clocked discharge of the braking chopper limits the increase of the intermediate circuit voltage to a permissible value and thus prevents on the one hand the inverter from being shut down on faults and on the other it improves the braking effect.

Does the torque of an asynchronous motor on the frequency inverter remain__the same above nominal speed?

No! Above nominal speed the torque decreases in inverse proportion to the speed: double speed = half torque!
