Rockwell Automation: Primary Voltage Capacity Upgrade for PowerFlex 6000T

PBUS-39-Rockwell-6000TUpgrade-400.jpg

May 16, 2022

The newest medium voltage variable drive frequency from Rockwell Automation delivers excellent performance in about half the space.

The latest enhancement to the PowerFlex 6000T drive now accepts up to 13.8 kV primary voltage, nearly twice the input voltage, in a footprint that is only 2310…3010 mm (7.58…9.87 feet) wide. The drive can be applied to 3…4.16 kV applications with high voltage input built in. Plus, high-voltage feeds can be directly connected to the drive from the main distribution line without additional step-down transformer or substation equipment, reducing costs. 

The compact A-Frame design is ideal for new and retrofit industrial applications in IEC markets where industrial space is a premium – specifically for high-voltage primary installations. 

The PowerFlex 6000T drive features TotalFORCE technology. With real-time operational intelligence, this smart industrial control system:

  •    –   Monitors system performance
  •    –   Delivers faster commissioning with adaptive control
  •    –   Saves energy with economizer mode
  •    –   Reduces downtime and repair costs with predictive maintenance alerts
  •    –   Makes it easy to start up and troubleshoot all drives on the common control platform

PowerFlex 6000T drives are engineered for managing motor control for demanding applications in heavy industries – oil and gas refining; mining, mineral and metal processing; power generation plants; and water and wastewater treatment facilities.

Common Misapplications of Components in Industrial Control Panels

 

Each component in an industrial control panel must be properly applied for safe and reliable operation. The application requirements for each component are often quite complex and unique to the component, resulting in erroneous interpretation, leading to improper use of the component. We will review some of the most common misapplications of components within the panel. UL 508 switches Listed as a “manual motor controller” are designed to be used for the on/off or manual motor controller function to meet NEC requirements in Article 430, Part VII.

 

HARTING: Current Measurement

HARTING: Current Measurement

Whether for transportation or industrial applications: the ability to quickly and accurately detect current is required in order to precisely control power electronics systems such as frequency converters, traction converters, UPS systems or welding systems. Current sensors are electromechanical components which deliver a precise, real-time representation of the input and output currents. The measuring signals are then used (e.g. in frequency converters) for precisely controlling the power semiconductors and for monitoring performance and functionality.
