The MD series of frequency converters is a new generation of modular, high performance
frequency converters that represent the future of inverters. Compared with traditional inverters,
in meeting the performance and function demands of customers, this series does not use
multiple products (which add external manufacturing, sales, user and maintenance costs),
but instead creates a modular design based on the specic needs of the customer, resulting
in a customized platform that incorporates a single series of products that are a multi-module
assemblies.
MD series inverter creates three new concepts in the future inverter sector:
1) It creates the three-layer modular structure standard of new generation of inverter. Refer to
Figure 1 for the comparison between traditional inverter and MD series modular inverter;
2) It creates the physical standard for dividing the customer requirements according to such
main modules as motor drive module, general functional module and specialized functional
module as well as various sub-modules. Refer to Figure 2 for the schematic diagram for the
modular structure of MD series inverter;
3) It leads the new industry trend of popularizing the vector control technology.
Such concepts will bring about profound influences on the inverter industry. The modular
structure is described as follows:
