U1000 - Low Harmonics Regenerative Matrix Converter

Harmonics

Without peripheral devices, the input current waveform becomes sinusoidal, similar to that of a commercial power supply, so the harmonic pollution of the power supply is minimized for the protection of surrounding machinery. The available power system capacity can be increased, and the regulations on harmonics easily met.

When an AC drive converts power, the input current is distorted, which results in harmonics.
These harmonics can interfere with other electric devices, such as by causing overheating or damage to power supply facilities and malfunction and noise in precision devices.

Reduce Power Supply Capacity

The power factor is high, so you can use a lower power supply capacity.
You can also downsize wires and generator capacity, and may qualify for price benefits from your power company.
