Shanghai Wenlida Technology Co., Ltd. proudly presents its latest innovation in power supply technology – the VFP Series Variable Frequency Power Device. Designed to meet the unique requirements of domestic and international markets, this intelligent variable frequency power supply serves a variety of purposes, from catering to specialized needs of imported equipment in China to providing simulated power environments for testing before export. Let’s delve deeper into the features and design philosophy of this cutting-edge device.

Feature#1 Purpose and Applications

The primary aim behind the development of the VFP Series Variable Frequency Power Device is to address the specific demands of both domestic and international markets. Firstly, it caters to the unique requirements of imported equipment in China, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance. Secondly, it serves as a vital tool for simulating power environments from around the world, facilitating pre-export testing for domestic equipment. Additionally, it offers adjustable voltage, current, and frequency functionalities, making it indispensable for experiments and research related to these parameters in laboratories.

Feature#2 Design Philosophy

At the heart of the VFP Series Variable Frequency Power Device lies a meticulously crafted design philosophy centered around efficiency, versatility, and reliability. The main circuit employs an AC-DC-AC configuration, comprising rectifiers, DC filtering capacitors, inverters, output reactors, isolation transformers, and AC filtering capacitors. This design ensures seamless conversion and regulation of power, guaranteeing stable and consistent output.

Feature#3 Components and Operation

The device operates in two main stages: AC-DC rectification and DC-AC inversion. In the AC-DC stage, the incoming AC voltage undergoes current-limiting resistance buffering before being converted into DC voltage through a full-bridge rectifier module. Subsequently, in the DC-AC stage, insulated gate bipolar transistors (IGBTs) serve as the primary inversion components. Through advanced sinusoidal pulse width modulation (SPWM) techniques, the device compares a reference sine wave voltage with a carrier triangular wave voltage. 

This comparison determines the switching action of the IGBTs, generating a series of variable-width positive and negative rectangular pulse voltage waveforms. These waveforms, characterized by their equal area but varying widths, mimic the sinusoidal waveform. Post-LC filtering, these modulated pulses are transformed into pure sinusoidal AC voltage, ensuring high-quality output. Moreover, the inclusion of an isolation transformer further enhances the stability and reliability of the entire system.

Feature#4 Power Factor Correction with APF

The inclusion of an Active Power Factor Correction (APF) feature allows for the improvement of the power factor and reduction of harmonic currents at the input terminal. By employing 12-pulse or 18-pulse rectification or specialized filtering techniques, the device minimizes interference with other equipment connected to the power grid. This not only enhances overall system efficiency but also reduces the risk of disturbances caused by variable-frequency power sources. (It’s important to note that this feature is optional and result in an increased cost.)

Feature#5 Remote Monitoring Capabilities via RS232 Interface

With the integration of an RS232 interface, Variable Frequency Power Devices offer seamless connectivity for PC or PLC monitoring. Compliant with the MODBUS-RTU protocol, this interface enables remote monitoring and control, facilitating real-time diagnostics and adjustments. Furthermore, the RS232 interface can be converted to RS485, CAN, or RJ45, providing flexibility to suit diverse communication protocols and network configurations.
