At the same time increase the stator flux of the motor, can make more stator excitation loss in the braking process,so that to reduce the energy feedback.15. Q: what is DC braking?A: The inverter gives the motor DC power, to produce fixed magnetic field, the motor cuts the magnetic field to generate electricity, and the kinetic energy is consumed in the form of heat energy on the rotor, to make the motor stop quickly.16. Q: What is dynamic braking?    A: The dynamic braking is a kind of braking mode, It transforms the generating capacity of the deceleration process into the heat energy of the braking resistor to achieve fast deceleration.17. Q: What’s the distance between the inverter and the motor ?A: Within 20 meters is short distance, 20 to 100 meters is medium distance, and over 100 meters is long distance.18. Q: What to do if the distance of frequency inverter and the motor is too long?A :(1) Choose larger power inverter;(2) Add output reactor, can effectively suppress the instantaneous high voltage generated by the IGBT switching, and reduce the bad effect by this voltage to cable insulation and motor.19. Q: what are the debugging steps of the inverter system?A :(1) Pre-power inspection;(2) Power-on inspection and parameter setting;(3) Motor no-load debugging;(4) Load debugging.20. Q: When PV series inverter is connected to the remote control system(RCS),what are the requirements for GPRS card?A: Control board hardware version need to be above V200, software version need to be above V1.22521. Q: What is the principle of energy saving of frequency inverter?A: Frequency inverter achieve energy saving through light load and voltage decreased, and the inverter output voltage increase when output frequency increase, it means that when the operation frequency is less than power frequency, it is saving energy (Take example: One fan just run 45 hz frequency can reach the required air volume, energy calculation formula compared to power frequency 50Hz is: 45^3/50^3*100%=72.9%, means it has 27.1% energy saving by using frequency inverter).22. Q:Does GPRS card support 4G communication?A: Yes, it supports the following network standard signal: LTE FDD: B1/B3/B5/B7/B8/B20LTE TDD: B38/B40/B41WCDMA: B1/B5/B8GSM: B3/B8。23. Q: If not remove capacitance, how to connect solar inverters with single phase motor?A:The PV100 is connected to the single-phase motor with the output terminal V and W, Power ≦ 0.75KW, PV200 is the same as PV100. Power ≧1.5KW, PV200 is connected to the single-phase motor with the output terminal U and W, and then setting F08.00 =3.24. Q: what are the control modes of the inverter?A:V/F sine pulse width modulation mode, open-loop vector control mode, closed-loop vector control mode25. Q: Why is the voltage of the inverter changes in proportional to the frequency?    A:When frequency conversion, the magnetic circuit of motor varies in a wide range with the operating frequency, it is very easy to make the magnetic circuit of the motor get saturated severely, which leads to a severe waveform distortion of the excitation current, to bring a peak current with high value. So frequency and voltage should varies proportionately, means control the output voltage of inverter when changing frequency, to make magnetic circuit of motor keep certain, avoid weak magnetic or magnetic saturation.26. Q: What is the difference between closed-loop control and open-loop control?A: Set the speed detector (Encoder) for the motor device used to feedback the actual speed to control device, it is the "closed-loop control", the one no needs sensor operation is called "open-loop control".27. Q: FR200-4T-045G/055PB-H diode gear measured R/S phase and  "+" as open state,Is it possible to judge the silicon control damage? A: No, FR200 series ≥ 37KW, the diode measured R/S phase and "+" as open state, it’s normal phenomenon.28. Q: how much energy consumption of the inverter is ?     A: The energy consumption of inverter is 3%-4%.29. Q:What are the main advantages of variable frequency start up?     A: (1) energy saving; (2) speed control, increasing production efficiency, and improving quality; (3) with soft start function, protecting the motor. 30. Q: How does the torque of the motor change when V and F are changed proportionately?     A: The voltage is reduced proportionately when the frequency drops. Since AC impedance becomes small and DC resistance doesn’t change, it will cause the torque produced at low speed will be reduced. Therefore, when V/f is given at low frequency, The torque boost is usually used to obtain a certain starting torque.31. Q: What is PID control?     A: In actual projects, the regulator control law of most widely used is proportional, integral, differential control, short for PID control. The parameter setting of the PID controller is the core content of the control system design. It is based on the characteristics of the controlled process to determine the value of proportionality coefficient, integration time and differential time of the PID controller.32. Q: How to deal with when there is a deviation in actual speed and given speed?     A: Usually in open loop control, even if the inverter outputs the given frequency, When the motor is running on load, the speed of the motor changes within the range of the rated slip (1%~5%). For the requirements of higher speed accuracy, even if the load changes, it also requires operation near a given speed, can use FR300 series for closed-loop control.33. Q: Can speed accuracy be improved by the feedback of PG card if using a motor with an encoder?     A: The inverter with PG feedback function can improve speed accuracy.34. Q: What is the meaning of the over-current stall function?     A: If the given acceleration and deceleration time is too short, the  change of the inverter output frequency is well over the change of speed (electric angle frequency). The inverter will be tripped over and stop because of over-current. This is called lose speed. In order to prevent the lose speed to keep running, the acceleration and deceleration rate should be slowed down when the acceleration and deceleration current is too large, so as to achieve over-current lose speed protection.35. Q: What is the frequency resolution ? What does it mean?A: For digital controlled inverters, even if the frequency command is an analog signal, the output frequency is also graded given. This minimum unit of gradation is called frequency resolution. The frequency resolution is usually valued at 0.01~0.5Hz, for example, the resolution is 0.5Hz, so the top of the 30Hz is changed to 30.5, 31 Hz, and the motor action is also a graded following.36. Q: Can FRECON’s inverter be used on the 60HZ power supply?A: Yes, the frequency range of inverter support is 50/60HZ, and the fluctuation range is ± 5%.37. Q: AC servo motor can be controlled by frequency inverter?A: Yes, but it can’t achieve the control accuracy of the servo controller.38. Q: what will happen if the input over-voltage ?A: If the input over-voltage, the inverter will report the overvoltage protection fault, even damage the internal circuit.39. Q: How does the inverter prevent thunder?A: Thunder strikes are divided into direct thunder and inductive thunder. The direct thunder strikes lightning directly on the drives, it causes the greatest damage; the inductive thunder is the inducted high pressure of electromagnetic wave produced by the lightning on the conductor, causing overvoltage of the electrical appliances connected to the conductors to damage. On the grid, the multi-stage arrester has been installed. However, the residual voltage of pre stage lightning or the lightning induced voltage near the inverter will still damage the inverter. Solution: install the line arrester in the inverter control cabinet. The line arresters usually use the power power supply lightning protection module, slideway installation, and parallel grounding. 40. Q: What causes the problem that the inverter stops and report over current fault when some high power motors start. How to solve it?A: when the large motor starts to run, it will pull down the voltage of the power grid, however the other load will cause too much current to report over-current when output frequency don’t change, so it stops running. The solution: increasing the capacity of  grid transformer.41. Q: is there any limitation when installing inverter?A: the inverter can be installed on the wall or a cabinet. In order to optimize the heat dissipation of the inverter, please install vertically.42. Q: what are the requirements for installation and use of inverter?A: the running temperature is between -10℃ and ~+40℃.If the temperature is between +40℃ and ~+50℃,it requires use higher power product. The relative humidity of the air need be lower than 95%, without condensation. When inverter installed at altitudes below 1000m, it can run at rated power. When inverter installed at altitudes below 1000m, it can run at rated power. When the altitude above 1000m, it requires downgrade by reduction of 1% per 100m in proportion to use. Keeping away from the application of electromagnetic radiation. It can use in the application for no oil mist, corrosive flammable gas. No radioactive material, metal dust, dust, oil, water and other foreign matter will not enter the place inside the inverter.43. Q: what are the requirements for the installation of the inverter for heat dissipation?A: According to the requirements of the operating temperature of the inverter below 40℃, it is recommended to install the radiator (air conditioner or fan) to achieve good heat dissipation effect. 44. Q: why is there a leakage current problem?A: When the inverter stops running, the leakage current is generally small. When the inverter is running, because of the high speed switching of the power module of the inverter, the higher harmonics exist in the output current. And because there is inductance between cable and ground, so producing the large leakage current. (can up to 10 times of inverter stops running).45. Q: How long is the electrolytic capacitor’s life expectancy?A: Electrolytic capacitors can normally be used for 40,000 hours.46. Q: What is the relationship between rated output voltage and DC bus voltage of inverter?A: Rated output voltage= Bus voltage/1.414.
