  • Variable Frequency Drives Explained - VFD basics. In this video we take a look at variable frequency drives to understand how they work in electrical engineering and power electronics. We look at where and why to use a VFD or VSD, alternating current, direct current, single phase, three phase, frequency, rectifier, DC bus, inverter, capacitor, pwm, pulse width modulation.

    Very good explanation of VFDs. Not mentioned here, but you can also get a 230v single phase in to 380v three phase out VFD. Extremely useful to allow the use of 3 phase workshop equipment when you only have a single phase supply!

    Your videos are amazing. Just throwing this out there. I'm a retired shipyard electrician and something I've seen several times are people mis-wiring tools because they believe that pos and neg switches back and forth such as the light bulb plugged into the receptacle seems to suggest. With that logic, they see no reason to determine which wire in the cord is hot and which is neutral because they believe that AC just switches back and forth. The problem arises when the metal frame of a hand tool becomes energized and they get shocked. It should be noted that at no time is the Earth/Neutral/Ground... side of the circuit 120/240/460...V of a - single/split phase - positive. I love these videos!

    Awesome explanation! I'm currently leading a team that's in charge of designing a groundwater pumping system that will require a rather large centrifugal pump. The area in question only has single phase power available, but powering our pump will likely require 3 phase power. A mentor suggested to us to look into using a VFD. This video really helped me understand the concept and I can't wait to share it with the rest of my team! Thank you!

  • @CA.papaBear

    I won't lie, when I took a look at a VFD diagram I at first was like, "Nah, a 3-phase AC motor can't be driven by (essentially) a 3-phase DC load/drive." Then after watching this video, I was like, "Welp, I wasn't technically wrong but nor was I right either." After watching the last section of the video I mean on how the IGBTs simulate or get the DC current to behave in a manor that is similar to that of AC. Genius stuff. :)
    I work at a package handling place (won't disclose where just because I want to keep my privacy) and my supervisor asked me what I wanted to do and I said, "Well, I want to climb up the ladder in this place" and I was asked if I went to school and I said, "I don't because it'll cost a bit much for what I'm making but I am self-taught" and they asked, "What do you know if you don't mind me asking?" and I was like, "Well..." I looked and I gestured towards the Eaton belt motor and I said, "you see that blue motor that's driving the belt system?" and they nodded, I then went on to explain in a super quick summary that the motor is essentially driven by DC electricity but there is a limitation of how much it can vary the speed and what drawbacks there are too it, like for example if you try to push more voltage into it, it could go faster or it could detriment it or damage the coils. but then again I can be entirely wrong on that statement alone and I feel embarrassed. Can someone correct me just in case if what I said is wrong? I don't market myself as a world genius, I only market myself as a person who just wants to be properly informed and have the correct information on-hand. That and I love to learn new things from computers to auto mechanics. Anyway, my supervisor was just surprised and was like, "Why aren't you in engineering man? You'd be great at that and you wouldn't have to worry about manual labor all that much." And I said with honesty that, "I would love to man, but I'm not certified in that area of expertise because I am self-taught and I can't say that I know everything because I don't. That is why I would like to learn and confirm everything first before I can justifiably say that I am certified. Just covering my bases is all." and the supervisor nodded and said, "Understandable and very honest." He didn't say that to be sarcastic, he said that with sincerity as in, 'I'm glad that you're honest with yourself and others, most would get cocky and wing it.'-sort of thing.
    Sorry if this rambling just lead into nonsense, I just love to learn and I love this video. Thank you so much. :)

  • @Papa-jk4us
    @Papa-jk4us 3 года назад +5

    Nice explanation. Just a small correction: From time 4min40sec, I think peak voltage and current has a 90° phase to peak flux, therfore the anmiated electrons are moving at the wrong time. The point of maximum flux should be aligned with zero current (and zero voltage) as dB/dt = 0 during peak flux.

    I work on vintage electronics in my side business and am about to move to a more complex industrial electrical maintenance role at my day job. It's always fascinating to me to learn about the things the modern transistor has enabled us to accomplish, but I'm also still amazed by what we were able to accomplish before that technology existed.

  • @altuber99_athlete
    @altuber99_athlete 3 года назад +3

    The video was great. Some corrections:
    3:50 No, the electrons in the windings of the generator don't move because the magnets "push or pull depending of polarity." If that was true, holding the magnet still should also make the electrons move, because the magnets still have its polaritiy; but in real life this doesn't happen. Instead, you need a _changing_ magnetic field (in the case of AC motors and generator, it is a rotating magnetic field.)
    5:54 No, in general the coils are not inserted shifted 120 physical degrees (also known as mechanical degrees) into the stator. Actual generators have a lot of windings for each phase, so they phase shift is less than 120° mechanical; you may want to read about Ferrari's theorem. What is true is that the output line-to-line voltrages are each shifted 120 electrical degrees from the other two.

    Is this how they control the speed of modern electric trains, and what is the swishing sound from the control circuits on rail traction

    • @JakeRoeder
      @JakeRoeder 4 года назад

      Generally, yes. The motors and inverters are a bit different in design due to the torque requirements (same in modern electric vehicles) but the same principle applies.

    • @kevinn2759
      @kevinn2759 4 года назад +1

      The filters in VFD's arent efficient enough to block out all harmonics and when you have a bunch of VSD's this can cause a lot of harmonic distortion. To counteract this, passive and active harmonic filters are installed in the circuit and active harmonic filters in parallel with the VFD circuits work best to filter out any harmonics from the VFD's.
