RENLE RNHV medium voltage drives are widely used in power plants, oil and gas, metallurgy, cement, mining, petrochemical, and water treatment industries, delivering stable operation, energy-saving performance, and reliable motor control for demanding industrial environments.

Product Overview

 

The medium voltage VSD is designed with the goals of ensuring high reliability, user-friendly operation, and excellent performance. It effectively meets the needs of users seeking energy-efficient speed control for applications such as fans, pumps, and compressors, thereby enhancing production processes.

To meet the needs of retrofit projects and minimize investment in new construction projects, as well as to shorten the construction period for the installation and retrofitting of medium-voltage variable frequency drive systems, an integrated design concept has been adopted.This includes transformer cabinets, power cabinets, control cabinets, medium-voltage switchgear (optional bypass cabinet), and all components and internal connections.Users only need to connect the medium-voltage input/output cables, low-voltage control power supply, and control signal lines.The RNHV series medium-voltage VSD system features integrated transportation and single-side maintenance, making on-site installation, maintenance, and commissioning convenient and user-friendly.

Control System

 

The control system is the core of the entire medium-voltage VSD speed control system. All functions are built upon a comprehensive control concept, and carefully designed algorithms ensure that the motor operates in its optimal state. The human-machine interface (HMI) provides a user-friendly, fully multilingual monitoring and operation interface, while also supporting remote monitoring and network-based control.

 

  •  The control system consists of a controller, a human-machine interface (HMI), a programmable logic controller (PLC), and other components. The HMI serves as the communication window between the medium-voltage variable-frequency drive system and on-site users, offering convenience and efficiency. The controller implements PWM control algorithms, while the built-in PLC performs logical processing of switch signals within the cabinet, enabling flexible interaction with users to meet specific operational requirements.
  • The programmable logic controller (PLC) handles various switch-based logic signals, on-site control flow signals, and status signals. This gives the variable-frequency drive system strong interfacing and communication capabilities, which can also be expanded according to user requirements.
  • The control cabinet and power units are interconnected via fiber-optic communication technology, ensuring electrical isolation between the low-voltage and medium-voltage sections. This configuration provides high reliability, fast communication, and strong resistance to electromagnetic interference. The control cabinet is also equipped with an Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) to ensure a reliable power source for the control system.

● Multi-machine Transmission

 When two or more motors are used to drive a load jointly through mechanical coupling, it is essential to synchronize their speeds.However, even more critical is ensuring that each motor consistently produces power evenly and operates stably according to set standards. Even when each motor is driven by its own variable-frequency drive (VFD), the system can still ensure a uniform speed control sequence, with each motor correctly and appropriately sharing the torque of the mechanical load.

product-800-600

 The master-slave control function of the variable-frequency drive can fulfill the above requirements. The VFD must operate in vector control mode. Any drive in the system can be designated as the master, while the remaining drives act as slaves. The master drive's speed control system issues torque control commands, which are received by the slave drives, temporarily disabling their own speed control loops. If the master drive's speed control system fails, one of the slave drives will be automatically promoted to the new master. In a multi-drive master-slave configuration, fiber-optic communication is used to transmit torque control commands.

 

● Convenient Maintenance

 The cascaded multilevel topology at the unit level adopts a modular design, featuring a drawer-type cabinet structure with units connected to transformers through quick connectors.

 The single-side maintenance design allows simple and efficient maintenance of inverter components, offering greater practicality and ease of use.
