Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A connecting device for motor and supply network is provided, comprising: a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), a first switch (S1) and a second switch (S2), wherein the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) is connected in series to the first switch (S1), and the second switch (S2) is connected in parallel to the series circuit composed of the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) and the first switch (S1). The connecting device of the invention further comprises a bidirectional Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) or two anti-parallel single-directional Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR1,SCR2), wherein the bidirectional Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) or the two anti-parallel single-directional Silicon Controlled Rectifiers (SCR1,SCR2) is/are connected in parallel to the second switch (S2). The connecting device of the present invention would not be subject to high current surge when VFD bypassing, avoids the high cost for the overrating of the cable and the bypassing switch, and is easy to be implemented.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A connecting device for motor and supply network, comprising: a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), a first switch and a second switch, wherein the VFD is connected in series to the first switch, and the second switch is connected in parallel to the series circuit composed of the VFD and the first switch, which is characterized in that: further comprising: a bidirectional Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) which is connected in parallel to the second switch; and a control unit configured to: during a stable operation state of a motor, transmit an opening command to the first switch and a closing command to the second switch; transmit a closing command to the bidirectional SCR after transmission of the closing command to the second switch; and transmit an opening command to the bidirectional SCR after the second switch has closed. 2. The connecting device according to claim 1 , wherein at least one of the first switch and the second switch is a contactor. 3. The connecting device according to claim 1 , further comprising a control unit for giving commands. 4. The connecting device according to claim 3 , wherein the control unit is arranged within the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD). 5. A connecting device for motor and supply network, comprising: a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), a first switch and a second switch, wherein the VFD is connected in series to the first switch, and the second switch is connected in parallel to the series circuit composed of the VFD and the first switch, which is characterized in that: further comprising: two anti-parallel single-directional Silicon Controlled Rectifiers which are connected in parallel to the second switch; and a control unit configured to: during a stable operation state of a motor, transmit an opening command to the first switch and a closing command to the second switch; transmit a closing command to the two anti-parallel single-directional Silicon Controlled Rectifiers after transmission of the closing command to the second switch; and transmit an opening command to the two anti-parallel single-directional Silicon Controlled Rectifiers after the second switch has closed. 6. The connecting device according to claim 5 , wherein at least one of the first switch and the second switch is a contactor. 7. The connecting device according to claim 5 , further comprising a control unit for giving commands. 8. The connecting device according to claim 7 , wherein the control unit is arranged within the Variable Frequency Drive (VFD).
