POLYPHAZ rotary converter efficiency Case StudyLake Toolibin Narragin Western Australia
We are often asked about power consumption of our
converters, efficiency, voltage asymmetry, current balance, etc.
so we thought the best way to put the point across was to use a actual
case study of a unit that has been in use for some years now running continuously
to operate 2 x 7.5kw compressors & 1 x 7.5kw pump.
These readings were taken when the converter was
approx. 60% loaded & what is worth mentioning is that the similar readings
in voltage, current asymmetry, & efficiency were taken though
out the load spectrum
How we achieved these results:
Incoming power to POLYPHAZ converter under
load
Voltage single phase
480 volt
Current
L1- 39.4 amps
L2- 39.0 amps
Output power from POLYPHAZ converter under load
Voltage three phase
L1 > L3 - 415 volts
L1 > L2 - 420 volts
L2 > L3 - 419 volts
Current
L1 - 26.6
L2 - 24.2
L3 - 24.4
Conclusion
Output voltage asymmetry (voltage balance across phases) 1%
Output current asymmetry ( current balance across phases) 3%
Converter efficiency under load 95%
Power factor
0.95
