With a variable frequency converter, pump stations can convert 230 volt single-phase power to 230 volt three-phase power. In some areas, one-phase power is generally available and organizations need to pay extra to receive three-phase power. Rather than paying the utility company more each month, organizations can make a one-time investment in a variable frequency converter that will let them operate three-phase motors of their own. These offer a number of advantages over single-phase motors.
Benefits of Using a Variable Frequency Converter to Produce Three-Phase Power
One of the benefits that three-phase power provides is a balanced load, which can reduce the extent to which motors and generators vibrate while operating. There are other types of converters available, including rotating and static phase converters. These, however, tend to be less reliable. Variable frequency converters can also provide increased torque when they first start, which can be beneficial when they're used to power water pumps. Users who install variable frequency converters into existing control systems find that they can be incorporated seamlessly. The converters can also be mounted in a range of ways: on the wall, on a pedestal or on a piggy-back mount.
