Working Principle:
The MV VFD operates on an AC–DC–AC conversion system, where input AC power is converted to DC and then inverted back to controlled AC output using IGBT-based switching. Multiple power cells connected in series per phase, supplied via an isolated transformer with phase-shift windings, allow flexible voltage scaling and improved waveform quality.
