Static Frequency Converters are used to feed loads that need AC mains at a different fixed frequency than the available one. By means of an intermediate turn into DC, the unit is able to deliver the requested AC power at the specific frequency.

So this system includes 2 sub-systems:
- rectifier: turns AC input mains into DC
- inverter: turns DC mains into the output AC one, at the necessary frequency

It is possible to add a set of batteries in order to provide the system with a certain autonomy in case of a input mains failure.

UNIT DESIGN

Excellent dynamic behaviour unit, with IGBT transistors. One microprocessor control manages the system considering the received signals and orders, and informs the user about its status. Control functions:

- historic: 250 last alarms displayed, with date and time
- automatic control: programmable start-up and shut down
- diagnosis: unit status is displayed and transmitted
- measures:

•Vef and Ief of all phases
•active, apparent and reactive powers
•internal temperatures
•efficiency
•input and output power factor and frequency
- test: automatic, local/remote, periodical and programmable
- digital adjust: adjustable parameters by keyboard
- configurable: adjustable system basic functions
- help: it provides help for the keyboard use
