In the realm of technology, advancements often bring forth heightened sensitivity, leading to inevitable challenges. Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are no exception, frequently encountering issues stemming from power fluctuations. Harmonics, common mode noise, and transients emerge as the primary culprits demanding attention in the realm of power quality management for VFDs.
Traditionally, basic surge protection has been incorporated by manufacturers to combat transient issues, aiming to prevent catastrophic failures. However, despite these measures, users frequently face perplexing lockups, downtime, and even failures in rudimentary surge protection.
Enter SineTamer® – a game-changer in the realm of Surge Protective Devices (SPDs). Unlike conventional SPDs triggered solely by voltage fluctuations, SineTamer® offers a comprehensive solution by addressing both voltage and frequency changes. Its unique approach effectively mitigates high inductive load transient events, eliminating false zero crossings and associated issues such as diode triggering errors and resets.
The efficacy of SineTamer® speaks volumes – in every documented instance of implementation, existing power-related issues have been swiftly eradicated. What’s more, the return on investment typically clocks in at a remarkable 10 months or less, underscoring its undeniable value proposition.
Beyond VFDs, the versatility of SineTamer® extends to a myriad of applications, including but not limited to PLCs, data centers, chillers, UPS systems, generators, cranes, and winders. With its proven track record and broad applicability, SineTamer® stands as the standard for ensuring reliability and performance enhancement across diverse industrial settings.
