The frequency converter is mainly composed of four parts: rectifier, filter, inverter and control circuit. The rectifier converts AC power into DC power, the filter filters the DC power, and then the inverter converts the DC power into variable frequency AC power again to supply the motor. The control circuit adjusts the output frequency and voltage of the inverter by detecting information such as motor speed, load conditions and user input instructions, thereby controlling the speed of the motor.
The process of frequency converter speed regulation can be divided into the following steps:
1. Speed detection: The frequency converter detects the speed of the motor through an encoder or sensor installed on the motor shaft. The encoder generates a series of pulse signals, and the frequency converter can obtain the speed information of the motor by counting and analyzing these signals.
2. Speed control: According to the user's set value and the required speed, the control circuit calculates the output frequency and voltage of the inverter. The output frequency is proportional to the speed, and the output voltage depends on the load requirements. The control circuit adjusts the output frequency and voltage of the inverter according to the difference between the actual speed detected by the speed and the set value, so that the actual speed approaches the set value.
3. Motor control: The inverter supplies the output AC power to the motor to control its speed. The frequency converter controls the speed by adjusting the voltage and frequency to change the rotation speed and direction of the magnetic field inside the motor. The change in frequency directly affects the speed of the motor, while the change in voltage affects the load capacity of the motor.
4. Stability regulation: In order to improve the performance and stability of the frequency converter, the control circuit will also adjust and correct the output voltage and frequency. This can ensure the accuracy of the motor speed and protect the motor from problems such as overcurrent and overload.
In summary, the frequency converter adjusts the frequency of the input power supply to control the output frequency and voltage of the motor, thereby achieving precise control of the motor speed. It can be applied to various loads and working conditions, with high efficiency and flexibility. In the field of industrial automation, frequency converters have become a very important device and are widely used in various fields.
