An inverter is a crucial device used to convert alternating current (AC) into direct current (DC), and then back into AC with adjustable frequency. This process allows for precise control over motor speed, making it widely used in various industrial applications. Inverters based on thyristor technology typically handle higher power levels and are equipped with adjustable frequency devices that enable speed regulation within a specific range.
Frequency converters play a significant role in modern electric drive systems. They offer smooth speed control, a wide adjustment range, high efficiency, low starting current, stable operation, and energy-saving benefits. As a result, they have gradually replaced traditional methods like slip control, pole-changing speed control, and DC speed control.
The basic structure of an inverter includes several key circuits: the rectifier circuit, the smoothing circuit, the control circuit, and the inverter circuit.
1. **Rectifier Circuit**
The rectifier circuit is responsible for converting AC power into DC power. It usually consists of a separate rectifier module.
2. **Smoothing Circuit**
After rectification, the DC voltage contains ripples from both the AC supply and the inverter. To reduce these fluctuations, capacitors and inductors are used to filter out the ripple. This ensures a stable DC voltage for the main circuit.
3. **Control Circuit**
Modern inverters use microcontrollers or DSPs (Digital Signal Processors) as their core components, enabling full digital control. The control circuit includes functions such as frequency-voltage arithmetic, detection of voltage and current, and motor speed monitoring. These signals are sent to the drive circuit, allowing the inverter to manage motor speed, direction, and other parameters using control methods like PID.
4. **Inverter Circuit**
The inverter circuit performs the opposite function of the rectifier. It converts DC voltage into AC voltage at the desired frequency by switching power devices in the upper and lower bridges at specific intervals. This generates a three-phase AC output with a 120° phase difference between each line (U, V, W). The rotation direction of the motor depends on the phase sequence of the power supply. If the phase sequence is reversed, the motor will rotate in the opposite direction.
By understanding these components and their functions, engineers can design more efficient and reliable inverter systems for a wide range of applications.
