Direct Vector Control The method of control in the PowerFlex 7000 “A” Frame medium
voltage AC drive is called sensorless direct vector control, meaning
that the stator current is divided into torque producing and flux
producing components, allowing the motor torque to be changed
quickly without affecting motor flux. This method of control is used
without tachometer feedback for applications requiring continuous
operation above 6 Hertz and less than 100% starting torque.
Full vector control can also be achieved with tachometer feedback
for applications requiring continuous operation down to 0.2 Hertz
with up to 150% starting torque. Vector control offers superior
performance over volts/hertz type drives. The speed bandwidth
range is 5-25 radians per second, while the torque bandwidth range is
15-50 radians per second.
