Frequency Drive
Figure 1.3 is a block diagram of the internal components of
the adjustable frequency drive. See Table 1.2 for their
functions.
Figure 1.3 Adjustable Frequency Drive Block Diagram
Area Title Functions
1 Line power input
3-phase AC line power supply
to the adjustable frequency
drive
2 Rectifier
The rectifier bridge converts
the AC input to DC current to
supply inverter power
3 DC bus
Intermediate DC bus circuit
handles the DC current
4 DC reactors
Filter the intermediate DC
circuit voltage
Prove line transient protection
Reduce RMS current
Raise the power factor
reflected back to the line
Reduce harmonics on the AC
input
5 Capacitor bank
Stores the DC power
Provides ride-through
protection for short power
losses
6 Inverter
Converts the DC into a
controlled PWM AC waveform
for a controlled variable
output to the motor
7 Output to motor
Regulated 3-phase output
power to the motor
Area Title Functions
8 Control circuitry
Input power, internal
processing, output, and motor
current are monitored to
provide efficient operation
and control
User interface and external
commands are monitored and
performed
Status output and control can
be provided
