📣 Introducing Our White Paper: Solving Harmonics with SmartD’s Clean Power VFD 📣 We are thrilled to announce the release of our latest white paper, “Solving Harmonics with SmartD’s Clean Power VFD.” This comprehensive document delves into the critical issue of harmonics in Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) and showcases how SmartD Technologies’ innovative Clean Power VFD offers a groundbreaking solution. 🔍 Understanding the Challenge: Harmonics pose a significant challenge in electrical systems, leading to inefficiencies, increased maintenance costs, and compliance issues. Traditional mitigation strategies often fall short, introducing complexity and additional costs. However, SmartD’s Clean Power VFD eliminates harmonics at the source, providing a more efficient, reliable, and cost-effective solution. 📄 Key Highlights of the White Paper: 1. Understanding Harmonics and IEEE 519: An overview of harmonic distortion, its impacts, and the importance of IEEE 519 standards. 2. Traditional VFDs and Harmonics: Insights into how conventional VFDs generate harmonics and the limitations of traditional mitigation methods. 3. SmartD’s Innovative Approach: Detailed explanation of how SmartD’s Clean Power VFD addresses harmonics at the source using advanced wide-bandgap (WBG) semiconductor technology. 4. Real-World Measurements: Comparative analysis of harmonic performance between SmartD’s Clean Power VFD and traditional VFDs, demonstrating superior harmonic suppression and compliance with IEEE 519 standards. 5. Benefits of SmartD’s Clean Power VFD: Enhanced system efficiency, reduced installation footprint, extended motor lifespan, and ease of integration and scaling. 📈 Evidence of Performance: Our real-world measurements reveal the exceptional performance of SmartD’s Clean Power VFD in suppressing harmonics, ensuring compliance with IEEE 519 standards. The results showcase a significant improvement in system efficiency, reduced installation footprint, extended motor lifespan, and seamless integration. 🔗 Download the White Paper: Unlock the full potential of your electrical systems with SmartD’s Clean Power VFD.

Conventional VFDs need to be placed close to the motors they control to avoid or limit cable damage. This is due to voltage spikes and corona discharge from the PWM signal generated by standard VFDs. To counter these issues, various solutions are available: dv/dt filters, Common mode chokes, VFD-specific cables, or positioning the VFD next to the motor. However, these solutions come with challenges: - Filters are bulky and increase the cost of ownership. - VFD-specific cables are four times more expensive than standard cables. - In some applications, like submersible pumps, placing the VFD next to the motor isn't feasible. While these solutions have been effective, a new alternative, the Clean Power VFD, addresses these problems at their root. This drive delivers a pure sine wave, with a zero common mode voltage. Long cable applications are now possible without concerns or additional costs, using standard cables and no filters. #SmartD #Cleanpower #vfd #motorcontrol #Innovation

Your VFD efficiently controls your motor, but are you entirely satisfied with your current system? Has the addition of a VFD brought along new issues? When we asked our customers before they switched to the Clean Power VFD, their main concerns were harmonic distortion and bearing damage. As you may know, these issues are caused by the diode-bridge rectifier and PWM signal generated by conventional VFDs. To address these problems, you typically need to invest in an external harmonic filter, external sine wave filter and shaft grounding ring. While these solutions extend motor life and protect the grid, they also increase the cost of ownership and reduce the overall efficiency of your system. But what if you could eliminate the root cause and avoid costly mitigation measures? Recognizing that the diode-bridge rectifier and PWM output signal are the culprits, SmartD developed the first VFD delivering filterless sine waves (clean in - clean out). This innovation ensures grid protection with ultra-low harmonics—under 5%—and preserves motor bearings, preventing damage. #SmartD #Cleanpower #vfd #motorcontrol #Innovation
