Hello all,
New to the forums and the field in general. I have just started in the design realm of things, so my knowledge is rapidly growing to say the least. I appreciate the large amounts of info from these forums, as well as, your guys' time. Now that I have said my piece, a quick question of sorts
All I have are generalities at this point...
Essentially we have a situation where a very large motor (1600 FLA) is being started up via a large inverter swapping the 3 phase to DC and getting the motor broke loose and running.
My question is mainly:
Why the swap to DC?
I assume you gain more torque this way via what I would consider to be similar to a very large capacitor across the motor? I also assume that you will get more torque this way for a short period of time versus an AC startup off a reduced voltage starter?
Little info if anyways has it, I would appreciate it. Way too much assuming on my part than to keep me comfortable. I could obviously be incorrect in my thinking.
Thanks.
