Advantages- Best-in-class 18-pulse phase shift transformer as standard starting at 1000 HP.
- Performs with low distortion which lowers harmonics for the local grid, exceeding IEEE 519 and most utility codes.
- Cascaded H-Bridge topology: IGBT based multi-level voltage source inverter delivering low distortion output.
- Eliminates the need for filters and can control legacy as well as modern motors.
- Superior to 2- or 3-level inverters and far superior to current source inverter designs.
- High system reliability with neutral rebalancing; drive can continue to run if a power module fails, allowing planned controlled shutdowns.
- Modular design for easy maintenance and fast swap out of power modules; front access to components.
- Industry-leading power density for an optimal footprint.
- Fast lead times.
