At frequency f, the normally required voltage equals
f
⋅
--- - U
U
=
U/F
f
n
Thus, the required boost equals
U
--------------------------------------------- - 100%
BOOST
=
The transformer is dimensioned according to the specified voltage boost.
Example
In this example, the voltage boost (BOOST) is calculated for a 50% torque. The
motor data etc. are as above.
I
=
USED
The voltage drop on the secondary side equals (assumed motor stator resistance
0.3 ohm, assumed transformer resistance 0.19 ohm)
U
=
drop,phase
On the primary side, the voltage drop equals
U
drop,primary
For 2 Hz, the normal U/F curve gives the following result:
2
----- - 690 V = 27.6 V
U
=
U/F
50
Thus, the required voltage boost for 50% equals
41,4
-------------------------- - 100% = 250%
BOOST
=
The transformer should, according to the above calculations, withstand 250%
voltage at 2 Hz frequency. The calculated boost value is to be forwarded to the
manufacturer of the transformer.
