Frequency Converters and Motor Generator Sets

Frequency Converters and Motor Generator Sets are used in today's industrial application.Frequency converters and motor generator sets are used in today’s industrial application to convert frequency, voltage and phase of power. They may also be used to provide complete line isolation and harmonic cancellation. Large motor generators are used to convert industrial amounts of power, while smaller motor generators are used to convert battery power to higher DC voltage. Frequency converters operate 50 Hz foreign equipment from Europe and Asia in the United States and other countries, which have 60 Hz . Also, frequency converters are used in testing aircraft and shipboard 400 Hz equipment.

Application of Frequency Converter Motor Generator Sets

  • Industrial Machinery.
  • Ships.
  • Aircrafts.
  • Computers and Computer Control Equipment.
  • Deep Well Pumps.
  • AC Variable Speed Drives.
  • Inventors.

    Use in Electrical Power Systems

In large electrical power systems, a motor generator set is used to provide phase matching between different electrical systems or equipment and to eliminate spikes and variation in “dirty power.”  Another use is to buffer extreme loads in power systems. A motor generator consists of an electrical motor mechanically coupled to an electric generator. The motor runs on the electrical input current, while the generator creates the electrical output current allowing power to flow between the two machines as a mechanical torque. This provides electrical isolation and some buffering of the power between the two electrical systems.

Motor Generators used as Semi-Conductor Devices

Motor generator sets are a popular solution and have been replacing semi-conductor devices because they provide harmonic cancellation, frequency conversion and line isolation. Motor generators also handle large short-term overloads and have inherently excellent resistance to electrostatic discharge.

 

Motor Generator Set

Sophisticated loads such as CNC machinery and computer control devices cannot handle momentary brown outs, surges, poor power factors and harmful transients that result with many commercial utility companies.  Unless something is put in place to stop this power condition, it can result in damage or loss of your equipment. It is very costly when equipment breaks down or has to be replaced.  With the frequency converter motor generator set, you can eliminate this and add many more hours of life to your equipment.

What is the Difference  Between a “Solid State Frequency Converter" and a "Frequency Converter Motor Generator?"

Solid state frequency converters convert your incoming 50 Hz or 60 Hz AC power to DC, than chops it back up to output a synthesized AC sine wave. A synthesized AC is a rough spike laden attempt, which doesn’t come close to the pure, smooth wave that equipment is meant to run on. A frequency converter motor generator set produces a sine wave the same way as a utility company.  In some cases, a motor generator set is better than what you see on a utility grid. With the utility power, you have no control of what your neighbors do or how it affects your supply. A motor generator set is like having your own power plant directly at your facility.

The best and largest supplier of Frequency Converters is TEMCo.  They are an international company and supply Rotary Frequency Converters worldwide.
