WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHASE CONVERTER AND VFD



WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PHASE CONVERTER AND VFD..

Answer / waheed imran virk

1) Phase Converter =
Three phase induction motors may operate adequately on an
unbalanced supply if not heavily loaded. This allows
various imperfect techniques to be used. A single-phase
motor can drive a three-phase generator, which will produce
a high-quality three-phase source but with high cost for
apparatus. Several methods exist to run three-phase motors
from a single-phase supply, these can in general be
classified as:
2)VFD =
A variable-frequency drive (VFD) (also termed adjustable-
frequency drive, variable-speed drive, AC drive, micro
drive or inverter drive) is a type of adjustable-speed
drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control
AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency
and voltage
While VFDs are used in applications ranging from small
appliances to the largest of mine mill drives and
compressors, about a third of the world's electrical energy
is consumed by electric motors in fixed-speed centrifugal
pump, fan and compressor applications and VFDs' global
market penetration for all applications is still relatively
small. This highlights especially significant energy
efficiency improvement opportunities for retrofitted and
new VFD installations.

I have carried out wiring for lighting in a shed in Industrial area which contains Metal halide lamps & have balanced in 3ph.Now when we put all the lines on in the daytime the current taken at 3phases at MCB comes to be equal i.e.28,29,28Amps respectively but in the night time i.e between 7p.m.to 11p.m. at the same MCb the current is 52,59,62Amp, though I have fit 63A MCB it is tripping in the above period.What may be the reason.? Note: This industry is located in industrial area where majority of steel ingot manufacturing plants are there. Whether this may be due to harmonic? what should I do to overcome above problem.pl suggest urgently.

Ceiling fan motor wiring Hi, I have 2 ceiling fans broken. The receiver/control units burned out due to lightening. One Harbor Breeze and one Hunter's I took them apart (remove receiver units). Now on both of the motor I see 4 wires coming out from each motor I really want to know the function of each wire. Are there anyway I can test to see which is which? After searching forums I know these 4 wires are from 2 sets of coils inside the motor, one is Start winding and the other is Runing winding I could not find the receiver/control unit any where, so I am planing to buy Capacitors and universal remote controls to make the fans run again. Anyone has any idea how to do the wiring, please help Thnks
