Abstract

Induction machines are the most common option to generate rotary motor in industry, and at present the use of variable speed drives with these machines is spreading in an unprecedented way. This has mostly to do with the advantages provided by these devices, such as added versatility and, in most cases, improved overall efficiency. Because variable speed drives provide a modified wave form, non-sinusoidal, several power quality issues and some effects can be observed. This paper focus particularly on the thermal and vibrational effects, and forms part of a broader study on the effects of the power supply on the behaviour of dynamic rotary loads.
