ZFeng 310 Series 7.5Kw-T-G General Vector Variable Frequency Drive
A vector drive is a type of power converter that uses vector control technology to manage the speed and torque of AC motors. Unlike traditional fixed-frequency drives or scalar-controlled drives, vector inverters utilize advanced mathematical models to decompose the motor's current into two orthogonal components: the excitation current and the torque current. This decomposition allows for independent control of the magnetic flux and torque, resulting in superior control performance.
The core principle of vector control involves transforming the three-phase AC current into a rotating reference frame (dq frame) that aligns with the motor's rotor flux. By regulating the dq-axis currents, the inverter can achieve precise control over the motor's speed, torque, and position, even under varying load conditions.
