3 effects
• Energy efficiency
• Over sizing
• Electrical perturbation
Increase IRMS, transformer (IRMS), cable
size, and circuit breaker.
High cost
Reduce OPEX
Optimize line current,
protect against perturbations

Answers
I propose to see rapidly and very simply what is inside a drive, on an electrical point of view.
Comments:
The drive is mainly made of a Power part (picture) and a control part where all application I/O are connected (start stop, reverse, speed and other functions in relation with the application) this part embed the communication connections.
Core of drive is embedded power Electronic.
Input section of the drive is the Rectifier, made of six diodes, allow conversion AC power to DC power.
Next section, the Filter section, is supplied by the rectified voltage. The Filter section smoothes the waveform, according to capacitor actions. Smoother is the DC bus, better is the signal output of the drive. Result will give accurate motor control and torque stability.
Last section, the Inverter, is supplied by the DC bus. This section transform DC voltage to AC voltage. Then it is possible to control the voltage and frequency of the motor signal.
The Energy is coming from Electrical supply (Voltage U1 and Frequency F1) and, according to the regulation system, will be transferred to Motor (Voltage U2 and Frequency F2). The motor is transforming electric signal into Speed and Torque.
Reminder:
A drive is able to convert a fixed input signal in a frequency and voltage variable signal applied to the motor.
Regarding Industrial sector, from the material handling up to the process, it is possible also to enter into complex machine automatism.
The way to use a drive can be done differently if this is considered as a simple actuator of if it is used with those integrated functions.
Let us take an example of a Crane. When the crane is loaded, at the moment start is required, there is a braking function enabling the motor brake to open at the right time to ensure movement will be fluid:This function (Braking logic) is embedded and can be managed totally by the drive. This is an equivalent of your handbrake management with a car…
Several examples can be taken as our drives embed lots of functions for applications.
Those example of applications, you imagine is the visible part of the Iceberg.
The Process point of view will be highlighted with our last range of “service oriented drive”, the Altivar Process.
You will discover meaning of this wording as well as new product simplicity with the multitude of embedded services for our customers.
This new range of products had been developed according to customers requirements, they have been involved very early in the project, you will see that on the second part with ATV6xx and ATV9xx.
Many type of electrical motors exists, we are not talking on DC motors (old fashioned , they are less and less used because several reason including higher maintenance level).
Otherwise, the efficiency of motors is an important point.
Objective of the two following slides is to show the principle of very common motors.
Asynchronous motors, and synchronous motors arriving on the market, according to its good efficiency.
Today the most part of applications is still done with asynchronous, but future trend will improve the synchronous part of motor.
Let us discover the differences between those two motors in order to help you to better understand some customers comments.
That would be a long time to have a complete overview of advantages when using drives.
Here is an example of what is possible to perform according to Drives usage, let us see an example of energy management.
Customer needs are to manage application without taking care on how it is done. Our experience in Drives will give the solution in order to meet those requirements.
Those Phenomena are due to electrical signals.
There are adapted solutions to ensure proper management of the motor and make drive fully transparent allowing to ensure its original behavior:Make the application running properly, efficiently, and as a sustainable way.
The EMC is divided in two parts linked to the related frequencies.
Low frequencies represents the harmonics, and high frequencies represents the Radio Frequencies Interferences.
Harmonics are mentioned in Voltage as well as Current.
EMC will be treated on both the emitted and the conducted ways.
There is no radiation without conduction.
These perturbations are existing on both sides, drive input and motor side.
