Abstract

This paper deals with the performances of a Variable Speed Drive based on High Power PWM Inverters connected to a distribution network without transformer. This architecture represents a step forward in the field of full-integrated production and power conversion solution to optimize efficiency, power quality, availability, space and compactness. We detail the key points of this solution design and we present main results to validate our topology comparing to conventional solutions with transformers.
