Medium Voltage Frequency Inverter
Arabian Cement Company—Jeddah—Saudi Arabia
Pioneers supplied, installed, connected and commissioned medium voltage frequency inverters for kiln EP-Fan motor with power 1050KW @ 6600V. The existing motor was slip ring motor, and it was designed to be started via large resistor bank.
DISADVANTEGES OF THE OLD SYSTEM:
- Problems in motor slip rings
- Motor needed regular maintenance
- Speed changes in six steps and is not accurate.
- High starting current
ADVANTEGES OF THE NEW SYSTEM:
- Motor rings were short circuited, so all problems due to rings and brushes were eliminated
- Speed changes became smooth and accurate
- Starting current is within the motor rated current
