Theory of Operation

IMPULSE® Drive

In Simple Terms

• The VG+ series 3 controller is basically a 3 phase AC voltage to DC voltage to 3 phase AC voltage converter.

• It starts by receiving 480Vac power and utilizes a 3 phase rectifier to supply a DC bus.

DC BUS

• The DC bus is then applied to an Output Transistor assembly to produce square wave pulses. These pulses are modulated and become additive to produce an output voltage at the desired frequency and amplitude. A basic bidirectional Inverter…

Load Reactors

• Load Reactors (Coils) are utilized to protect the drive unit from collapsing motor fields or short circuits and they improve the efficiency by creating a more perfect sine wave.

IMPULSE® Drive

Selecting Line/Load ReactorsLoad Reactors

• Used on the Load Side of the AFD between AFD and Motor

• Protects the Drive under Motor Short Circuit Conditions

• Reactor Attempts to Recreate Perfect Sine Wave, Improves Motor Efficiency

• Use the Full Load Ampere Rating of the Motor When Selecting Load Reactors

• The Rectifier section of the Drive is energized when power is applied to the crane and remains so . When a drive signal is called upon to start and run a motor, a 3 phase output is developed and delivered to the motor.

Theory of Operation

IMPULSE® Drive

Flux Vector “A Vector Drive uses feedback of various real world

information (encoder and CT’s) to further modify the PWM pattern to maintain more precise control of the desired operating parameter, be it current, speed or torque. Using a more powerful and faster microprocessor, it uses the feedback information to calculate the exact vector of voltage and frequency to attain the goal. In a true closed loop fashion, it goes on to constantly update that vector to maintain it. It tells the motor what to do, then checks to see if it did it, then changes its command to correct for any error.”

Flux Vector “A true closed Loop Vector Drive can also make an

AC motor develop continuous full torque at zero speed. This makes them suitable for crane and hoist applications where the motor must produce full torque before the brake is released or else the load begins dropping and it can't be stopped. Closed Loop is also so close to being a servo drive that some people use them as such. The shaft encoder can be used to provide precise travel feedback by counting pulses”

Dynamic Braking

• When slowing down of stopping a motor, Dynamic Braking is utilized. Dynamic Braking occurs when the applied frequency/voltage delivered to the stator is lowered. Due to inertia, the rotor speed can now be faster than the delivered stator speed which results in the motor becoming a generator. Since Generated Voltage is proportional to Speed “N”(differential or slip) times the Magnetic Flux “O” a voltage is now delivered back through the inverter section to the DC bus. Eg = Ofield X Ndifferential

Dynamic Braking

• A Dynamic Braking Unit is connected across the +/- DC bus and this acts to dissipate the energy and limit the rise of DC voltage.– Without the Dynamic Braking resistor, damage

would occur to the drive unit.
