AC Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) 1HP-10HP 220V/380V - Detailed English Translation
I. Product Overview
This product is a 1HP-10HP Vector Control Frequency Inverter supporting 220V (single/three-phase) and 380V (three-phase) input voltages. It is designed for industrial applications such as pumps and fans, offering high-precision vector control, energy efficiency, and comprehensive overload protection.
II. Core Parameters & Performance
- Power & Current Matching
- Power Range: 1HP (0.75kW) to 10HP (7.5kW), suitable for small to medium-sized motors.
- Output Current:
- 220V Input: 4A (1HP), 9.6A (3HP).
- 380V Input: 2.1A (1HP), 17A (10HP).
- Selection Principle: Base selection on motor operating current. For heavy-duty applications (e.g., cranes), choose G-type drives with 2-3 power ratings.
- Control Method
- Vector Control (Open/Closed Loop):
- High Starting Torque: Stable torque at low frequencies (e.g., 180% rated torque at 0.25Hz).
- Wide Speed Range: Speed regulation ratio up to 1:100 for precision applications (e.g., CNC machines, printing presses).
- Fast Dynamic Response: Rapid speed adjustment under load changes.
- Energy Efficiency
- Principle: Adjusts motor speed to match load demands, avoiding energy waste from throttling (e.g., valves/dampers).
- Case Studies:
- Steel Industry: 38% annual energy savings after retrofitting rolling mills.
- Municipal Water Supply: 20% energy reduction with control and reduced pipeline burst risks.
- Port Cranes: 40% energy savings per unit, recovering 120,000 kWh annually.
III. Overload Protection
- Inverse Time Overload Protection
- Mechanism: Simulates motor thermal characteristics using an electronic thermal relay. Protection time decreases as current exceeds rated values.
- Setting: Adjustable threshold (e.g., 120% of rated current) with customizable overload curves.
- Overcurrent Protection
- Instantaneous Detection: Immediate output cutoff during short circuits (far exceeding rated current).
- Application: Prevents damage during motor internal/output short circuits.
- Other Protections
- Voltage Protection: Safeguards against undervoltage/overvoltage conditions.
- Short Circuit Protection: Rapid fault isolation.
- Thermal Protection: Temperature sensors monitor internal heat, triggering derating or shutdown.
IV. Selection Guidelines
- Load Type Matching
- Constant Torque Loads (e.g., cranes): Use G-type drives with 2-3 power ratings.
- Variable Torque Loads (e.g., fans/pumps): Select P-type drives equal to motor capacity.
- Special Loads (e.g., synchronous motors): Increase drive capacity by 10-20%.
- Environmental Adaptability
- Temperature/Altitude: Derate if ambient temperature >40°C or altitude >1000m.
- Protection Class: IP55+ for dusty/humid environments.
- Installation Distance: Reduce carrier frequency or add output reactors if drive-motor distance >50m.
- Special Requirements
- Multi-Motor Drives: Add thermal relays per motor; VFD control limited to V/F mode.
- Long-Distance Transmission: Lower carrier frequency or install output reactors.
V. Installation & Commissioning Notes
- Carrier Frequency: Automatically reduce at low speeds to minimize electromagnetic interference.
- Resonance Avoidance: Use frequency skip function to bypass mechanical resonance points.
- Braking Unit: Required for heavy-load descending or high-speed braking; enables energy recovery.
- Parameter Optimization: Adjust PID settings, acceleration/deceleration times based on load characteristics.
