Working Principle:
The inverter converts AC input to DC via a three-phase rectifier, stores energy in DC bus capacitors, and synthesizes variable-frequency PWM output through IGBT switching. VFC mode operates without encoder feedback using an internal motor model; CFC mode uses encoder feedback for closed-loop current vector control with real-time flux and torque decoupling.

Installation Requirements:

  • Vertical cabinet mounting with adequate ventilation
  • Minimum clearance above and below for airflow
  • Shielded power and motor cables with 360° grounding
