The AC Drive which can provide direct high voltage to the motor without any output transformer or filter is referred to as Direct Medium Voltage Drive.
There are mainly two types of Medium Voltage Drive exists like Current Source Inverter, Voltage Source Inverters. Among the voltage source inverter there are different topologies like 2-Level Inverter, Neutral Point Clamped Inverter, Multi-level Cascaded H-bridge Inverter and Multi-level Flying capacitor Inverter. Out of all these topologies the most popular is the Multi-level Cascaded H-bridge Inverter.
Amtech’s AXPERT-HIVERT series Medium Voltage VFD is a Multi-level Cascaded H-bridge type which offers a simple, reliable, cost-effective power structure that is easy to apply to a wide voltage and power range. It is highly used for speed regulation, energy savings, soft-startup and intelligent control of the medium voltage motors in industries such as thermal power plants, petroleum, chemical, mining, cement and metallurgy.
