Motors
z Motor driven systems represent about 60% of allelectrical energy used
z Energy Policy Act of 1992 set min efficiencies formotors in the U.S.
z Manufacturers have increased motor efficiencies inthe interim
z Premium-efficiency motors can therefore decrease
lossesReference: Copper Development Association

z AC to DC to Variable output with V/Hz constant
z Not suitable in all cases

Cables from VFDs to Motors
z VFDs convert 480 V at 60 Hz to a variable voltagewith variable frequency
z VFD holds constant the ratio of V/Hz
z Nominal is 480 V/60 Hz = 8.0 at 100% motor speed
z If you want 50% speed, reduce the voltage to 240 V
z But need to correspondingly reduce the frequency by50% or else motor wont operate
z Thus frequency is 30 Hz at 240 V, or 240 V/30 Hz = 8.0constant

Cables from VFDs to Motors
z Same for any speed in the operating range
z If you want 37% speed:
z 480 V x 0.37 = 177.6 V
z If V/Hz is held constant at 8.0,
z Then frequency is V/8.0 = 177.6 V/8.0 = 22.2 Hz

Cables from VFDs to Motors
z This shielding can easily be a steel conduit
z This works if the conduit is dedicated between theVFD and the motor
z If part of the cable run is in underground ductbank,
then the PVC conduit in the ductbank no longerprovides that shielding

Cables from VFDs to Motors
z Possible to install a steel conduit thru the ductbankto counteract
z But that would then restrict flexibility in the future tomove these VFD cables to a spare conduit whichwould then be PVC
z Too costly to install all ductbank with RGS conduit

Cables from VFDs to Motors
z Also, if the cables pass thru a manhole or pull boxalong the way, it is very difficult to keep the VFDcables sufficiently separated from the other normalcircuits
z If EMF is a problem with adjacent circuits, easy
solution is to select 600 V, 3-conductor, shieldedcables

Cables from VFDs to Motors
z However, the true nature of the EMF problem fromVFD cables is not well known or calculated
z Much depends on the type of VFD installed, 6-pulse,12-pulse, 18-pulse
z If there is an reactor on the output of the VFDz How well the reactor mitigates harmonics
z What the length of the cable run is, i.e., introducing
impedance in the circuit from the cable

K-Factor Calculations Dry-Type Transformers
z K-Factor is a measure of the amount of harmonics ina power system
z K-Factor can be used to specify a dry-typetransformer such that it can handle certain levels ofharmonic content
z K-Factor rated transformers are generally built tobetter dissipate the additional heat generated fromharmonic current and voltage

K-Factor Calculations Dry-Type Transformers
z To calculate K-Factor, must have a power systemsanalysis software program like ETAP or SKM, etc.
z Model all harmonic-producing equipment: biggestculprit is the 6-pulse VFD
z
Formula for calculating K-Factor:
K-Factor = Ih p.u.2 x h2
z Where, Ih p.u. = Current harmonic in per unit
z
Where, h = Odd harmonic (3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, etc.)

z Must use parallel sets of conductors
z Each conduit will have A, B, C, and GND cables, plusneutral if required for 1-phase loads
z Standard engineering practice is to use 500 kcmil(253 mm2) or 600 kcmil (304 mm2) conductors

z For large cables in one conduit, it is notrecommended to approach the FF = 40% due to the
excessive pulling tensions when installing the cables

z NEC allows next higher size available
z Thus, fuse = 300 A
z Although NEC dictates maximum, standardengineering practice is to select fuse at IFL x 125% =120.3 A, or round up to 150 A

z For many years the most common type ofovercurrent relay was an induction disk type of relay
z Depending on the secondary CT current input to therelay, the disk would rotate a corresponding angle
z Todays technology uses electronic-based relays
z As such, electronic relays are more accurate insensing pick-up and contain smaller incrementalgradations of available settings than induction disk
relays

z For example: Induction disk relays had available tapsettings in increments of 1 A or 0.5 A
z Todays electronic relays have tap settings inincrements of 0.01 A

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems

Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems
z A true UPS is always on line

z Power from the DC bus is then inverted to AC for use
by loadsz If normal power fails, power to the loads is
maintained without interruption
z AC output power is being drawn from the batteries
z Battery bank is no longer being charged
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) Systems
z An off-line unit is technically not a UPS since there isa static switch for transferring between sources

incoming utility AC power
