comprehensive power modular vfd system for manufacturers
DESCRIPTION
Comprehensive Power's TIM provides a uniquely modular and resilient "always on" VFD lineup for manufacturing floors and test stands. Each module can drive up to 250Hp and can be networked to control up to 16,000Hp motors. The same module can also be used for DC/AC conversions and DC/DC power management as well.TRANSCRIPT

Introduction to Comprehensive Power
Comprehensive Power is a leading designer and manufacturer of high-performance permanent magnet motors, generators, controls and drives.
Founded in 1998, located in 40,000 square feet across 3 facilities in Marlborough, MA
We Invent and Produce Unique Solutions which are manufactured in the USA
TIMs (TeraTorq® Inverter Modules)
200 kW / 250 Hp power conversion and control “building blocks”, often deployed in arrays
TIM-270 modules are fully interchangeable with each other, reducing the number of spare parts you need to stock. Any TIM can be perform:
AC/DC Rectification
DC/AC Inversion
DC/DC Power Balancing
TIMs are used to:
Drive motors
Transfer power from a generator or other source
Transfer power to/from a switchboard or a battery bank

Theory of Operation - TIMs
Each module has 6 power terminals DC plus, minus and ground 3 AC (input / output) phases
Connected to DC by IGBT switches
Current can flow in any direction based on switch control IGBTs switch rapidly with Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control
Output is smoothed by phase inductors Harmonics are actively controlled and reduced
AC voltage is between DC plus and minus
AC phases provide or draw current on command, at any frequency from DC to 1,000 Hz Modules automatically balance loads when connected in parallel Can draw power from lower AC voltages with active power factor correction

IGBT Phase to Phase Voltage
Conventional drives connect this voltage directly to the motor terminals
Fast transients result in
Extra stress on motor insulation
Electromagnetic Interference
Increased heat loss in rotor and stator

Motor Terminal Voltage with TIMs
Phase inductors in each TIM locally filter and contain the high frequency
Eliminates many of the problems seen with inverter driven motors
Eliminates the need for special cables and shielding

The Most Advanced Modular Drive System
The image on the right features multiple racks of TIM-270s, or TIMs (TIMs are TeraTorq® Inverter Modules).

TIMs
Designed for durability and for continuous, “always on”, fail-safe operation
The unlikely event of a failure of a TIM-270 in a multiple TIM system only decreases the system power proportionately
Such a failure will still yield continued system operation and avoid emergency equipment shutdown
TIM-270 modules can safely and easily be swapped or replaced by anyone; no factory certification or special training is required. Replacing a TIM-270 is a simple “plug and play” operation.

TFMs (TeraTorq® Frame Modules)
TFMs hold up to 4 TIMs
All module connections are blind mate quick disconnect for safe and foolproof operation and maintenance
Page 9 03/11/2013 Comprehensive Power Proprietary
TCM (TeraTorq® Control Module)
Controls the operation of TIMs, which are connected to motors, generators, etc.
Provides information to/from a system controller via the Modbus Application Protocol (MBAP) over an Ethernet TCP/IP connection
Support for web based data collection, troubleshooting, and preventative maintenance programs

FAQs
Can I use TIM drive lineups with motors or generators that are not manufactured by Comprehensive Power?
Yes you can (although we would like you to consider all of our equipment, including our motors and generators, you are not required to do so).
Can a TIM really be replaced by non-factory personnel?
Yes. Push the red button and pull the handle.
Can I use my own housing for my TIMs, TFMs, and TCMs?
Yes. We do sell rack systemd which house TFMs, TCMs, and TIMs, but we will assist your design efforts and support the deployment of the equipment within your preferred housing.

FAQs (con’d)
If a TIM fails, does my system need to be restarted?
No. In the unlikely event of a TIM failure, the remaining TIMs will continue to operate, and the drive lineup will have proportional power available.
Does a TIM need to be programmed or require a hardware modification to perform an AC/DC conversion or another function?
No. Any TIM can perform any function, and any TIM can be placed in any TFM slot. The TIM’s function is controlled by a TCM which is part of the drive lineup.
Can this drive and control system function as a Microgrid?
Yes. TIM systems support power being supplied from one or multiple sources, including transformers, generators and battery banks. Power can be distributed to multiple loads, including hotel loads, MCCs, motors and battery banks.
