Functional Descriptions
Introduction
The PowerFlex 6000 is an adjustable speed AC drive that is particularly suitable
for new and retrofit centrifugal fan and pump applications. Air-cooled PowerFlex
6000 drives are designed to maximize energy efficiency by enabling soft-starting
and variable-speed control in medium voltage, normal duty applications.
To achieve the low input harmonics and near-unity power factor that make this
an ideal solution for standard motors, the drives utilize Cascaded “H’” Bridge
(CHB) topology. This proven CHB topology combines an integrally mounted
phase-shifting isolation transformer with series-connected power modules for
each phase. In addition to stepping down the input voltage, the isolation
transformer also provides two other principal functions:
• Mitigate common mode voltage stress so motors with standard insulation
levels can be used.
• Reduce Total Harmonic Distortion (THD), due to the phase shifting of
its secondary windings, so input side harmonics don’t negatively impact
the plant or utility power grid.
