3-phase AC line power supply to the adjustable frequency drive
The rectifier bridge converts the AC input to DC current to supply
inverter power
Intermediate DC bus circuit handles the DC current
Filter the intermediate DC circuit voltage
Prove line transient protection
Reduce RMS current
Raise the power factor reflected back to the line
Reduce harmonics on the AC input
Stores the DC power
Provides ride-through protection for short power losses
Converts the DC into a controlled PWM AC waveform for a
controlled variable output to the motor
Regulated 3-phase output power to the motor
Input power, internal processing, output, and motor current are
monitored to provide efficient operation and control
User interface and external commands are monitored and
performed
Status output and control can be provided
