Inverters rectify ac to dc then chop it up again with transistors to provide a variable frequency, variable voltage pseudo ac to create a variable speed motor from a fixed speed ac motor. This chopping takes place many times a second from around 1kHz to 16kHz. This is the switching frequency. At lower switching frequencies, … Continue reading →
Here ABB’s Martin Richardson reflects on feedback from the water industry on the issue of harmonic mitigation. Four years ago, ABB received CPD accreditation for a training course that looked at the effect of harmonics on the operation of water plants and ways in which their impact could be mitigated. The course targeted water industry … Continue reading →
