Medium Voltage Variable Speed Drive

The RNHV series medium voltage variable speed drive for mining adopts power unit series connection technology, directly outputting 6kV/10kV voltage, and belongs to the medium-high voltage source-type inverter category. This product is specifically designed for harsh environments like underground coal mines, strictly adhering to mining product standards for explosion-proofing, safety, and reliability (e.g., the MA Mark). It is engineered with the goals of ensuring high reliability, user-friendly operation, and exceptional performance. It effectively meets the requirements for energy-saving speed control and process improvement of mining equipment such as fans, pumps, and compressors, making it a key component for smart mine construction.

Product Overview

 

The medium voltage variable speed drive system undergoes rigorous inspection and performance testing before leaving the factory, ensuring the quality and performance of each individual unit shipped. An integrated design concept has been adopted, including transformer cabinets, power cabinets, control cabinets, optional bypass cabinets, and all internal connections. Users only need to connect the medium-voltage input/output cables, low-voltage control power supply, and control signal lines. The system features integrated transportation and unilateral maintenance, making it convenient and user-friendly for on-site installation, maintenance, and commissioning.

 

Technical features

Mining Flameproof Design

The enclosure employs a flameproof design, complying with national mining product safety certification, ensuring safe operation in mine environments with explosive hazardous gases such as methane and coal dust.

High Strength & High Protection

The robust cabinet structure can withstand mechanical shock and vibration during underground transportation and installation. With a high protection rating of IP65, it effectively defends against high humidity, water spray, and dust in underground environments.

Environmental Adaptability

Designed for a wide temperature range (-5°C to +40°C) and equipped with high-performance heating and cooling systems, it adapts to complex underground climate conditions. The units feature a semi-sealed structure, providing strong environmental adaptability and high reliability.

Efficient Maintenance & Reliability

 

Drawer-type Modular Structure

The innovative drawer-type cabinet structure supports quick plug-and-play of power units, reducing maintenance time by 50%, making it ideal for use in confined underground spaces.

Film Capacitors

The unit DC support uses metallized film capacitors, which offer higher reliability, maintenance-free operation, and a longer lifespan (up to 10 years) compared to electrolytic capacitors.

Automatic Unit Bypass

Using neutral drift technology, it can automatically and seamlessly bypass faulty units, ensuring continuous operation without affecting normal production and maintaining the continuity of underground operations.

Overcurrent
capability

120% of rated output current for 1 minute every 10 minutes;
150% of rated output current for instantaneous protection.

Control

Control method

V/F control with PG vector control and without PG vector control.

Synchronous
switching

The frequency converter follows the voltage phase and frequency of the power grid, achieving a state of grid connection and smooth switching from frequency converter to power frequency without impact

Torque
compensation

Automatic torque boost during startup to reach above 150%.

Slip compensation

Compensates for speed drop under load to enhance mechanical robustness.

Upper and lower
frequency limits

Upper and lower frequency limits can be set.

Skip frequency

Skip frequency can be set in 3 groups.

Speed tracking
during restart

The inverter can automatically search for the motor speed and smoothly restart operation when the motor is coasting due to power loss.

Acceleration and
deceleration time

Acceleration and deceleration time can be independently set from 0.1 to 3600 seconds.

Acceleration and

Stopping methods

Option to choose between coasting stop or deceleration stop.

PID closed-loop
control

Can be applied to various closed-loop control systems such as flow, pressure, temperature, and
more.

Neutral drift

By bypassing a power unit and using neutral drift technology, the three-phase output stays
balanced. This guarantees maximum output power even after bypassing a unit. In case of a
single-unit failure, the system can operate in bypass mode without impacting regular production
operations.

Automatic unit
bypass

When a unit malfunctions, the inverter can automatically bypass the faulty unit and continue operating using neutral drift technology without the need for manual intervention. If more than two units
are bypassed, users simply need to operate at a reduced capacity as necessary.

Power failure
restart

In the event of an abnormal power outage, the inverter can automatically restart and restore to its
pre-power loss state once the grid is restored within the set time, without the need for manual
intervention.
