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

Answer Posted / navin

VFD uses the principle of varying the frequency.
as in motors slip speed ,Ns=120F/P, the only thing we can
change is frequency as poles are built up, even though
Scharage motors are available which can change the poles
also, but it is convenient to change the freq. rather then
poles.
By changing the frequency i.e. reducing it we reduce the
speed, hence torque & hence the current drawn.
Thus reducing the power consumption.

We have a distribution transformer of 750KVA/11kv/440v and an AVR (Servo Stabilizer) of 750KVA on the LT side of distribution transformer. Also we have an ACB of 1200A on the output of distribution transformer (that is on the input of AVR). We want to have an MCCB on the output of AVR. What should be the rating?
