High voltage frequency converter

The article describes the characteristics and application scenarios for the SINAMICS GH180 Perfect Harmony high-voltage frequency converter from Siemens that is in high demand on the Russian and global markets.
According to various sources, electric motors globally consume more than 1 billion kWh of energy annually, which is half of the total global energy consumption.
One can increase the efficiency of an electric drive through system improvements (such as power optimization and load matching), more efficient control of mechanisms, use of energy-efficient equipment, variable-speed drives, optimization of the topology and converter type, and its mode of operation.
This means that using the "right" drive will make it possible to reduce operating costs, provide more accurate and efficient control over the drive load to achieve the specified process parameters, reduce the number of emergencies, and increase the service life of electrical equipment in general.
