Solar pump controller is an electronic device that controls the circulating pump to harvest more heat as possible from the solar panels and it also protects the system for overheating. When there is heat available in the panels the controller turns the circulating pump and moves the working fluid through the panels to the heat …

The variable frequency drive main circuit terminals shown as below Figure. (1) The frequency inverter drive three phase AC input terminals (r/l1, s/l2, t/l3) The power line’s input terminals connect to 3 phase AC power through line protection or leakage protection breaker, it does not need to consider the connection of phase sequence. What needs …
1) Ambient temperature Variable frequency drive just like other electronic devices, has certain requirements about the temperature around it, generally its -10 to +40 °C. As the AC variable frequency drive internal high-power electronic parts are easily influenced by the working temperature, in order to ensure the safety and reliability of the variable speed drive, …

Generally variable frequency AC drive has following control modes: open loop vector control, V/F control, open loop torque control, closed loop vector control, slip frequency control. Open-loop vector control Apply to high performance general-purpose application with no PG encoder, one AC drive controls an electric motor only. Such as machine tools, centrifuge machines, wire drawing …
7. Torque limit It can be divided into drive torque limitation and brake torque limitation. It is based on the inverter output voltage and current values and calculates torque by CPU, to make the impact load recovery characteristics of the deceleration and constant speed running improved significantly. The torque limitation function can achieve automatic acceleration …
Generally, there are dozens of function parameters in variable speed drive, or even hundreds for option. In practical application, it is not necessary to set every parameter, most parameters can be keep factory default settings. 1. Acceleration/deceleration time Acceleration time is the time required by output frequency from 0 Hz to the maximum frequency, deceleration …
