Overview
Commutating reactors
A converter must always be connected to the line supply
through a commutation inductance. This must have at least 4 %
u
K
! The commutation inductance can be in the form of a con-
verter transformer or, for the appropriate line supply, in the form
of a commutating reactor.
A line supply can be considered to be "stiff
" if the power ratio
P
s
/
S
k
≤
0.01. Even for stiff line supplies, the commutation induc-
tance must have a
u
K
of at least 4 %!
For high-rating converters, the line reactance, i.e. the finite fault
级别(短路功率)的供应亩t be taken into
account; this also results in higher
u
K
values. Recommendation
for the ratio of the line supply fault level (short-circuit power) to
the apparent drive power > 33:1.
The commutating reactors are dimensioned according to the
rated motor current in the armature or field circuit.
Operation with line frequencies of 50 Hz and 60 Hz
The rated currents
I
Ln
of the reactors, specified in the table,
apply for operation with a line frequency
f
= 50 Hz. It is permis-
sible to operate the reactors with a line frequency
f
= 60 Hz. In
this case, the next-higher voltage level must be selected (e.g.
480 V instead of 400 V).
At the same time, the voltage drop
∆
V
increases by 8 %.
Arrangement of reactors and radio interference suppression filters
(1)
The commutating reactor in the field circuit is dimensioned for the
rated motor field current.
(2)
The commutating reactor in the armature circuit is dimensioned for
the rated motor armature current.
The line current is 0.82 times the DC current.
(3)
The radio interference suppression filter for the armature circuit is
dimensioned for the rated motor armature current.
The line current is 0.82 times the DC current.
(4)
The radio interference suppression filter for the field circuit is
dimensioned for the rated motor field current.
(5)
The electronics power supply itself does not require a radio inter-
ference suppression filter. Current consumption 1 A at 400 V, 2 A at
230 V.
(6)
If the power supply voltages for the armature circuit, field circuit and
electronics power supply are the same, then the voltage for the field
and electronics power supply can also be taken after the radio inter-
ference suppression filter for the armature circuit.
