Congratulations to Endeavour Automations team for successfully repair Danfoss 560 K.W drive.

I'm thrilled to share an inspiring success story from our journey in the world of industrial repairs. Our technical team recently faced a critical challenge in a chemical manufacturing plant, where a 560 kW / 750 HP VFD drive was in dire need of attention. Three malfunctioning thyristors threatened to disrupt the entire production process.


The Challenge: In the heart of a bustling chemical manufacturing plant, a pivotal 560 kW / 750 HP VFD drive began to show signs of trouble. Three vital thyristors had given out, creating a looming risk of production downtime and loss.

The Solution: Our highly skilled technical team, known for their unwavering dedication, stepped in. They quickly assessed the situation, pinpointed the problematic thyristors, and formulated a meticulous plan for a comprehensive repair.
The Execution: With precision as their guiding principle, our team replaced the ailing thyristors and conducted extensive testing to ensure the VFD drive's complete restoration. They left no stone unturned, and their dedication paid off.

The Outcome: It gives me immense pride to announce that our technical team's efforts resulted in a resounding success. The 560 kW / 750 HP VFD drive, critical to the chemical manufacturing process, was back in action, operating seamlessly and guaranteeing uninterrupted production.

Conclusion: Power fluctuation was the probable reason of failure of 560 KW VFD.

Why input choke is important in AC drive protection?

  An input choke is important in AC drive protection for several reasons, contributing to the overall reliability and longevity of the AC drive system. Here are key aspects of why input chokes play a protective role: Harmonic Filtering: AC drives generate harmonics during their operation due to the fast switching of semiconductor devices. Harmonics can lead to increased current and voltage distortion, potentially causing overheating and premature failure of the AC drive and other connected equipment. The input choke helps filter out harmonics, reducing their impact on the system and preventing damage. Voltage Spike and Surge Suppression: Rapid switching of power electronics in AC drives can result in voltage spikes and transient surges. An input choke acts as a buffer, absorbing and suppressing these transient voltages. This protection is essential to prevent damage to the AC drive and other sensitive electronic components in the system. Current Limiting: The input choke limits the...

What is a variable frequency drive?

Image
  A variable frequency drive (VFD) is a type of motor controller that drives an electric motor by varying the frequency and voltage of its power supply. The VFD also has the capacity to control ramp-up and ramp-down of the motor during start or stop, respectively. Even though the drive controls the frequency and voltage of power supplied to the motor, we often refer to this as speed control, since the result is an adjustment of motor speed. There are many reasons why we may want to adjust this motor speed.  For example, to Save energy and improve system efficiency Convert power in hybridization applications Match the speed of the drive to the process requirements Match the torque or power of a drive to the process requirements Improve the working environment Lower noise levels, for example from fans and pumps Reduce mechanical stress on machines to extend their lifetime Shave peak consumption to avoid peak-demand prices and reduce the motor size required In addition, today’s d...
