Solusyon ng Nanocrystalline Reactor para sa 550kW VFD na Naglalabas ng mga Voltage Spikes na 5000 V/μs

​1. Hamon: Voltage Spikes (du/dt > 5000 V/μs) sa Output Side ng 550kW VFDs sa Steel Rolling Mills​

Sa proseso ng paggawa ng bakal, ang mga motor (lalo na ang pangunahing drive motors para sa rolling mills) ay nakakaranas ng malaking pagbabago sa impact load, mabilis na pagsisimula/pagtitigil, at madalas na pagbabago ng direksyon ng pag-ikot. Ang mga kondisyong ito ay nagbibigay ng malubhang hamon sa mga sistema ng VFD (Variable Frequency Drive), lalo na sa mataas na power (550kW) na aplikasyon. Ang isang pangunahing isyu ay ang paglikha ng napakataas na voltage slew rates (du/dt) sa output side ng VFD, na ipinapakita bilang:

• ​Extremely High du/dt:​​ Spike values na lumampas sa 5000 V/μs. Karaniwang dala ito ng:
• Ang napakataas na switching speed ng IGBT devices sa loob ng VFD.
• Ang parasitic capacitance at inductance effects ng mahabang motor cables (lalo na ang interaksiyon sa rise/fall times ng PWM waveform ng VFD).
• Ang mismatch ng impedance sa pagitan ng insulation characteristics ng motor at ng output pulses ng VFD.
• ​Malubhang Pag-aapekto:​​
• ​Damage sa Insulation ng Motor Winding:​​ Ang extreme du/dt ay maaaring magbutas sa insulation ng motor winding, na nagdudulot ng partial discharge, mas mabilis na aging ng insulation, at sa huli ay pagkasira o breakdown ng motor.
• ​Bearing Currents at Electrical Erosion:​​ Ang mataas na du/dt, sa pamamagitan ng stray capacitances, ay nagpapabuo ng common-mode voltage, na nagdudulot ng bearing currents. Ito ay nagdudulot ng electrical erosion sa bearing, taas ng ingay, taas ng temperatura, at pagbawas ng lifespan ng bearing.
• ​Overvoltage Stress sa IGBT Module:​​ Ang reflected at superimposed spike voltages ay maaaring magdulot ng instantaneous voltages na lumampas sa rating ng IGBT, na nagpapataas ng panganib ng pagkasira ng module ("blowing up").
• ​Electromagnetic Interference (EMI):​​ Ang high-frequency voltage spikes ay nagpapabuo ng malakas na conducted at radiated interference, na nakakaapekto sa nearby electronic equipment.
• ​Pagbawas ng Reliability ng Sistema:​​ Ang overall system failure rate ay lumalaki nang significant, na nagdudulot ng unplanned downtime at nag-iimpluwensya sa rolling efficiency at continuity.

​2. Solusyon: FKE Type Three-Phase Output Reactor (Nanocrystalline Core)​​

Upang tugunan ang nabanggit na problema ng mataas na voltage spike, inirerekomenda namin ang pag-install ng ​FKE Type Three-Phase Output Reactor​ sa output side ng 550kW VFD. Ang solusyong ito ay espesyal na disenyo upang supilin ang mataas na du/dt at high-frequency interference.

• ​Core Equipment:​​ FKE Series Three-Phase Output Reactor
• ​Mga Key Features:​​
• ​Core Material:​​ High-performance Nanocrystalline alloy
• May napakataas na magnetic permeability at ultra-low core loss (lalo na sa kHz to MHz high-frequency range).
• Nagtatangi ito sa traditional silicon steel o ferrite materials sa pag-supil ng high-frequency voltage spikes at ripple currents na nabubuo sa high switching frequencies (typical IGBT switching frequencies sa kHz range).
• May mataas na magnetic saturation strength at matatag na capability sa pag-withstand ng transient overloads.
• ​Key Technology 1: High-Frequency Eddy Current Suppression Coating​
• Application ng special conductive coating sa nanocrystalline core o winding surface.
• Epektibong dissipates ang ultra-high-frequency eddy current losses (frequencies hanggang sa MHz level) na dulot ng extremely high du/dt.
• Significantly reduces ang core temperature rise sa high frequencies, maintains stable magnetic performance, at enhances ang long-term reliability ng reactor sa high du/dt conditions.
• ​Key Technology 2: Multi-Layer Sectional Winding Reducing Distributed Capacitance​
• Employs a special multi-layer, sectional winding structure design.
• Divides ang equivalent distributed capacitance (Cdw) ng traditional concentrated winding sa multiple smaller series-connected capacitive units.
• Ang overall effective distributed capacitance value ay significantly reduced.
• ​Core Value:​​
• Increases ang self-resonant frequency ng reactor well above the VFD switching frequency at harmonic frequencies, ensuring it maintains a pure inductive characteristic within the target frequency band.
• Effectively weakens ang intensity ng oscillating circuit na nabubuo ng VFD's PWM high-frequency pulses at ang motor cable's parasitic capacitance, fundamentally suppressing ang amplitude at energy ng voltage spikes (ringing).
• Reduces ang flow ng high-frequency oscillating current components through the reactor.
• ​Core Functions:​​
• Effectively smooths ang voltage waveform, substantially reducing ang output-side voltage slew rate (du/dt), bringing spikes down to safe levels.
• Filters out ang high-frequency harmonic currents, reducing ang motor harmonic losses at temperature rise.
• Suppresses ang voltage reflection waves (Wave Reflection).
• Reduces ang harmonic voltage distortion rate sa line end.
• Reduces ang risk ng common-mode voltage at bearing currents.
• Reduces ang conducted at radiated electromagnetic interference (EMI).

​3. Performance Data (Applied in 550kW Rolling Mill VFD Scenario)​​

• ​Voltage Spike Suppression:​​ Ang output-side du/dt ay significantly reduced, na ang peak values ay bumaba mula >5000 V/μs to safe thresholds (e.g., <1000 V/μs or lower, specific values require field measurement confirmation), meeting motor insulation protection requirements.
• ​Current Limiting Capability:​​ Effectively limits ang inrush currents during motor startup o sudden load changes, protecting the VFD and connections. Ang current limiting capability ay maaring umabot sa 30% ng rated current ng VFD.
• ​Reduced Voltage Distortion Rate:​​ Effectively filters out ang high-frequency harmonics. Ang measured voltage distortion rate (THDv) sa output ng VFD ay reduced by up to 42%, significantly improving ang power supply quality.
• ​Protection Effect:​​ Greatly alleviates ang reverse recovery surge at overvoltage stress na dinadala ng IGBT modules.

​4. Economic Benefits​

• ​Significant Extension of Critical Component Lifespan:​​ Ang pinakadirekta at significant economic benefit ay nakikita sa:
• ​IGBT Module Lifespan Extension:​​ Effectively reduces ang electrical stress (voltage spikes, overcurrent) na kanilang dinadala. Ang measured data ay nagpapakita na ang average service life ng IGBT power modules ay maaaring mapalawig ng ​2.3 times. Bilang core drive equipment ng rolling mill line, ang extended lifespan ng main power components ng VFD ay nangangahulugan ng:
• Reduced procurement quantity at inventory costs ng expensive IGBT module spares.
• Significantly decreased ang unplanned downtime frequency at duration dahil sa power module failures, ensuring continuous production.
• ​Reduced Motor Maintenance Costs:​​
• Effectively protects ang motor winding insulation, lowering ang motor insulation failure rates.
• Suppresses ang bearing currents, reducing ang bearing electrical erosion damage at replacement frequency.
• Extends ang overall service life ng motors, delaying ang major overhauls o replacement cycles.
• ​Improved System Reliability and Production Efficiency:​​
• Reduces ang number ng VFD o motor failures dahil sa voltage spikes, enhancing ang overall operational reliability (OEE - Overall Equipment Effectiveness) ng rolling line.
• Reduces ang production losses, scrap risks, at order delays dahil sa unexpected downtime.
• ​Reduced Maintenance Costs:​​ Minimizes ang maintenance labor hours at spare parts consumption dahil sa equipment damage.
• ​Improved Power Factor (Indirectly):​​ Improved waveform contributes sa pag-optimize ng system power factor (although primarily handled by input reactors o active compensation, output reactor waveform improvement also provides some benefit).
