VVC
plus
If compared with standard voltage/frequency ratio control, Voltage Vector Control (VVC
plus
) improves the dy-
namics and the stability, both when the speed reference is changed and in relation to the load torque.

Power Factor

The power factor indicates to which extent the fre-
quency converter imposes a load on the mains sup-
ply.
The lower the power factor, the higher the I

for
the same kW performance.

In addition, a high power factor indicates that the different harmonic currents are low.
The frequency converters' built-in DC coils produce a high power factor, which minimizes the imposed load on
the mains supply.
