The use of current inverters in the high voltage electric drive

Different factors of the use of a variable frequency drive aimed at resolving energy conservation issues and increasing drive resources are reviewed. Comparative analysis of the frequency converters with the current inverter and drives based on them has been conducted. Experience of implementation. Processing of the results of experimental studies. Introduce variable frequency drive with synchronous motors in automated control systems of technological equipment JSC "Transneft". The use of variable frequency drive saves energy and resources and allows to introduce innovative new technologies. Using current inverter mode ensures energy recovery in the supply network.
