    What kind of control is this

    Seem to be contact pressure variable resistor.

    Motor VFD open loop no-load current is much higher than closed loop no-load current. Why?

    What kind of PM motor is? Interior or surface magnet? What kind of rotor alignment method was set for open-loop? Such high current difference indicate an incorrect VFD setup or may be some error/missing in firmware control routine in open-loop.

    Can two VFD's run in parallel

    There are VFDs that allow to add power modules to increase output power, but use same DCbus and sure, all module receive same control signals. Separate VFDs may work in parallel if was designed for that and use a dedicated communication link for synch, load sharing and response to...

    Grid scale BESS inverter question

    As grid inverter it's an ac power device connected in parallel with grid, from control section may choose power flow direction. In inverter control section (firmware and circuits) may implement active and reactive power control level and direction. After control section make all calculation...

    PV backfeeding the grid

    Most probably it's a grid-tie inverter with so called "reverse power limiting device" that send signal (RS485/Modbus) to inverter to reduce it's power to avoid reverse power when local consumption decrease and/or PV panel production increase. Communication between device and inverter may be lost...

    Contactor voltage rating for VFD DC bus

    VFD synchro is related to speed synchonization of attached motors in a stable ratio (1:1 or other) but can't be made by DC bus. Common DC bus is used mainly in multi-axis motors machines to obtain some energy recovery as at a time some motors may be in braking (regenerative mode) same in...

    Contactor voltage rating for VFD DC bus

    May I ask what was the logic behind the requirement to connect the DCbus of the two VFDs through a contactor?

    Intermittent fault in induction motor

    N point is a cable connection or made by a contactor?

    Can we start an ID fan motor 700 kW 690 Vac direct on line?

    Needed start torque being very low may use RL series circuits to limit current and short them after. A smaller VFD with synchronous transfer feature may be an option.

    SEPAM connection

    May need an USB/RS232 converter that assure +/-15V signal levels on RS232 side.

    Heating in isolation transformer

    What kind of controller PFC use? Some PFC schematics and/or loads may inject a DC component on grid/transformer that modify saturation limits.

    Powerflex 755 (15 hp) IGBT SMOKED!

    99% board control is ok. It's optically isolated from power drivers.

    750KW DC motor tripping main power breaker

    If motor is ok, seem to be oscillations in armature current control loop. Check DCS parameters.

    VFD Resonance With AC Grid

    No diodes issue. As Mark said, may be Middlebrook instability - when output impedance of input filter (or just power supply if no filter) is (or become at some frequency value/range) greater than input impedance of rectifier/converter. Such oscillations after diode commutation are "normal" for...

    VFD Resonance With AC Grid

    It's input filter + cable oscillation, at about 2kHz. Power supply seem to be week and cable oversized (very low resistance). May try to add some resistor across filter output (VFD input). If no input filter, cable only may do the same for such lenght.

    VFD Resonance With AC Grid

    What VFD model? What control motor setting (V/f, vector, DTC)? Are you sure it's diode rectifier? May be controlled (SCR or IGBT).

    2x50% Battery configuration

    I think is 50% of battery backup time. Each "50%" battery bank must sustain nominal load current (al least).

    Fault Currents from Battery Energy Storage Systems charging vs discharging

    When power module (IGBT/SiC or similar) from inverters are gone (in short), battery will be connected to AC for time that fuse clear short-circuit. Depending of DCbus voltage level, switching/protection equipments capacity at shot-circuit, may apear huge DC short-circuit currents that are very...

    VFD Line Reactor Saturation

    What kind of power supply is used here? And what overvoltage protection devices? Seems there is voltage limiting (clipping) not reactor saturation.

    Start time motor?

    These formulas are approximate/simplified. It assumes that the torque is constant in the 0 - rated speed range... but this is not true. Time is in seconds. Another major error can come from the voltage drop at the motor terminals. And Tacc is net torque that develop acceleration not just motor...
