1. What is an inverter?

An inverter is an electronic device or circuit that converts electrical energy from direct current or alternating current at this frequency and phase configuration into alternating current with this frequency and phase configuration. other phase. The inverter can change frequency from 1Hz to 50 Hz or up to 400Hz with CNC high-speed motors. Inverters are widely used in industrial applications to control motor speed, reverse rotation, reduce starting current, reduce vibration and save energy.
Or to put it another way: An inverter is a device that changes the frequency of the electric current applied to the coil inside the motor and through that can control the motor speed steplessly, without needing to use gearboxes. mechanical. The inverter uses semiconductor components to sequentially turn on and off the current applied to the motor's coils to create a rotating magnetic field to rotate the motor. Inverters can adjust motor speed from slow to fast depending on the specific application, helping the motor operate more efficiently.

2. Structure of the inverter

The inverter is made up of components that have the function of receiving a power source with a fixed input voltage and a fixed frequency, thereby converting it into a power source with a controllable three-phase variable voltage and frequency.
Some main parts:
- Rectifier: The first part in converting the input voltage to the desired output for the motor is rectification. This is achieved using a full-wave diode bridge rectifier.
- DC Bus: The DC bus is a capacitor bank that stores rectified DC voltage. A capacitor can store a large charge, but arranging them in a one-way conduction configuration increases the capacitance. The stored voltage will be used in the next stage when the IGBT generates power for the motor.
- IGBT: IGBT devices are recognized for high performance and fast switching. In the inverter, the IGBT is turned on and off in sequence to generate pulses of different widths from the dc bus voltage stored in the capacitor.
- AC reactor: The AC reactor is an inductor or coil. The inductor stores energy in the magnetic field created in the coil and resists changes in current.
- DC reactor: DC reactor limits the instantaneous rate of change of current on the DC path. This reduction in rate of change will allow the actuator to detect potential problems before failure occurs and disengage the actuator.
- Braking resistor: The excess electricity generated needs to be handled somehow. The resistor is used to quickly “burn off” this excess electricity generated by this phenomenon by converting the excess electricity into heat.

3. Operating principle of the inverter

- In general, the basic working principle of the inverter is quite simple. First, the single-phase or three-phase AC power source is rectified and filtered into a flat DC source. This step is performed by a diode bridge rectifier and capacitor. Thanks to that, the cosphi power factor of the inverter system has a value regardless of the load and has a value of at least 0.96. This DC voltage is converted (reversed) into a symmetrical 3-phase AC voltage. This step is currently performed through the IGBT system (isolated gate bipolar transistor) using the pulse width modulation (PWM) method. Thanks to the advancement of current microprocessor technology and power semiconductor technology, the pulse switching frequency can reach the ultrasonic frequency range to reduce motor noise and reduce losses on the motor iron core.
Nguyên lý hoạt động của biến tần
- The 3-phase alternating voltage system at the output can change amplitude and frequency values steplessly depending on the controller. According to theory, there is a certain rule between frequency and voltage depending on the control mode. For loads with constant torque, the voltage-frequency ratio is constant. However, with pump and fan loads, this rule is a 4th order function. Voltage is a 4th order function of frequency. This creates a torque characteristic that is a quadratic function of speed in accordance with the pump/fan load requirements because the torque itself is a quadratic function of voltage.
- The power conversion efficiency of inverters is very high because they use power semiconductor components manufactured using modern technology. Thanks to this, the energy consumed is approximately equal to the energy required by the system.
- In addition, today's inverters have integrated many different control types suitable for most different types of loads. Nowadays inverters have integrated PID and are compatible with many different communication standards, very suitable for control and monitoring in SCADA systems.

4. Classify inverter lines according to voltage

   AC inverter
Single-phase inverters and three-phase inverters using AC voltage are widely used in factories. It can be said that more than 90% of inverters are of this type.
   DC inverter
This type of inverter controls the branching of a DC motor. This design of a DC motor separates the induction section and the bypass circuit.
With this type, the output switches generate a new sine wave for the electric motor's voltage by inputting a series of square waves at different voltages. Inverters of this type often work with the support of a large capacitor.
   1 phase inverter
Biến tần 1 pha
Also known as 1-phase to 3-phase inverter. To make buying and selling more convenient, people often call inverters abbreviated. For example, a single-phase inverter. This refers to the type of inverter whose input voltage is only 1 phase (220V) and the output signal is 3 phase 220V. This name is to distinguish it from the type of inverter with 3-phase 380V input and 3-phase 380V output.
   3 phase inverter
Biến tần 3 pha
When talking about this type of inverter,  people will automatically understand that it has an input voltage of 380V and an output voltage of 380V. Most types of inverters today are of this type.
The inverter controls the motor speed
As we know, an inverter is a specialized device to control motor speed by changing the frequency of electric current. That is, through adjusting the frequency, we can adjust the motor speed to change as desired in a wide range.
Changing the speed of the motor when using an inverter is also very simple. We just need to adjust the frequency with the inverter and the speed of the motor will change accordingly.
In addition, attaching an inverter to a 3-phase motor also helps the motor start softer, helping to protect the electrical system as well as reduce mechanical shock to the motor. The inverter also helps protect against overload, overvoltage, and overcurrent during motor operation.
   Grid-connected inverter
Also known as solar inverter. This is a type of inverter specialized in the field of solar power production.
Biến tần hòa lưới
When a solar panel collects energy from the sun, it converts heat into direct current. However, to use it for loads, we must convert this DC current into 220Vac alternating current and connect it to the grid.
At this time, people will use grid-connected inverters (or grid-connected inverters) to convert this DC current into alternating current and send it to the load for consumption.
The solar grid inverter will connect to the grid continuously in the morning, giving priority to using solar power. If there is any remaining solar power, it will be pushed to the national grid. Conversely, at night and on days when there is a lack of sunlight, the system will automatically take grid power to compensate for the devices.
The inverter operates completely automatically, the entire system will automatically shut off when it gets dark and operate when the sun comes back.
   Elevator inverter
Biến tần thang máy
As you can see, when we get into the elevator, the elevator will have to stop at each floor. When the elevator stops, it means the speed of the motor is being changed and this change is always done continuously.
That's why people have to use elevator inverters. This is a type of inverter specifically used for elevators to control the speed of the motor, helping the elevator stop at the desired position.
For elevator inverter types, it uses semiconductor inverters; Flexibility such as automatic motor recognition, control features via network; 16 levels can be set; Controls motor current for smooth (soft) starting; Improve mechanical structural durability.
   Low voltage inverter
Biến tần hạ thế
This is a type of inverter with input of 110V, 220V or 380V. It can be said that this is the common name of all types of inverters on the market today.
   Medium voltage inverter
Biến tần trung thế
This type of inverter has very large input voltages such as 3-3.3 kV, 4kV, 6-6.6kV, 10 kV, 11 kV. And in Vietnam, systems using this type of inverter are very few.
Medium voltage inverters are applied in industries such as: paper; metallurgy, cement, petroleum, mining, plastic, rubber.

5. Application of inverter

Applications of inverters in industry
   Water supply system for high-rise buildings
In the past, water supply to high-rise buildings often relied on pumping water up the tower and then sending water down to each floor, using equipment to adjust the pressure. This method is ineffective and expensive. With inverters, water tower construction costs can be saved.
    Ventilators
Exhaust fans are commonly used in equipment such as vacuum cleaners, furnaces, and ventilation systems. Inverters help optimize motor performance, allowing pressure and flow to be adjusted according to need, helping to save energy.
    Air compressor system
Traditionally, air compressors often use an open/in method to control air flow. When the pressure reaches its highest level, the machine will stop compressing and when the pressure drops, the machine will start operating again. This leads to inefficient power consumption.
    Lifting and lowering system
Drives help optimize position, torque and braking adjustments in applications such as cranes. With the ability to regenerate energy and re-enter the grid, the inverter for the lifting system helps operate safely and save energy.

9. Notes when using inverter

Vì sao nên sử dụng biến tần
From the above formula we see that there are 3 methods to change the engine speed:
Change the number of motor poles P
Change the slip coefficient s
Change the frequency f of the input voltage

The first two methods are difficult to implement and not very effective. The method of changing motor speed by changing frequency is the most effective method. An inverter is a device used to change the frequency of the power supply applied to the motor, thereby changing the motor speed.
The inverter can change frequency from 0Hz to 400Hz (some inverter models adjust to 590Hz or higher). Therefore, it is possible to make the motor run faster than normal compared to running at 50Hz. For common motors, usually installing an inverter allows adjusting the frequency from 0Hz - 60Hz.
Note:
The first thing you need to do when using an inverter is to carefully read the inverter parameters provided by the manufacturer specifically for each product line, that will help you clearly know how to wire the inverter correctly. To be sure, you should let reputable units with highly specialized engineers install and connect for you. Besides, you need to learn about the additional features of the product such as dust resistance, water resistance, anti-corrosion, emergency stop button, expandability... to safely install, use and maintain the device. and efficiency.
