I need to connect the output of a large regen. VFD (2,600HP, 690V) to a switchgear bus in order to direct power (via PLC controlled breakers) to either 1) a large M-G set or (2) a large motor test stand...up to 2500HP @ 690V. Owner wants the ability to use the drive for either load.
VFD rated output is as follows:
I(max) = 3680A (10-sec at start)
I(2N) = 2362A (Normal duty use, continuous base current, Overload cycle I(2N) 110% for 1-min / 5-min allowed
I(2HD) = 1840A (Heavy duty use, continuous base current, Overload cycle I(2HD) 150% for 1-min / 5-min allowed
I'm not an expert on drives (these are owner provided) Preliminary design is to use a 4,000A, IEC gear, 690V. Does anyone know of any concerns with this large VFD "non-sinusoidal" output on a swichgear bus?...or any considerations to be aware of for the circuit breakers?
Note: This is a motor test lab....would never have a need for this in industry.
