can u please tell me how VFD(variable frequency) drive is
used as a energy saver....?

Answer Posted / eswara rao

There are some applications where the the discharge
of a pump/fan are not constant. for the required output, it
is required to control the output valve or damper. For this
type of applications, the motor takes almost same power
whether the output is 0% or 100%
For this type of applications, VFD's are more
advantagious. Instead of controling the discharge by
controlling the output valve, if it is controlled by motor
frequency it saves the power according to the speed of the
motor.
VFD draw the power according to the speed of the
motor. So, for variable discharge applications, VFD's are
suggestible for smoother operation along with power saving.

in a solar power plant,we are going to step up the voltage 350V to 33kv, and to 132kv GSS. i want to ask that if it is possible that 315v/33kv is not possible because we also use 315v/11kv. or it should be 415v/33kv? is it effects generation or losses?  the second question is-generation is depends on LV winding? or LV winding design for generation voltage?
