| Post subject: | Single Phase VFD's |
I have recently ran into quite a conundrum when thinking about safety and arc-flash. We have some pumpstations that have single phase power coming in from the utility but we are powering three phase motors from VFD's. The question is- does the three phase output from the VFD pose any risk of AF hazard? Then if it does how in the world do you model them? I would love to hear peoples thoughts on the matter. |

What kind of power level for the VFDs? Single phase 120V or 240V? What's the connection to the utility (3 wires 120-240V)? What's your main overcurrent protective device? |

I do not have any specifics. This is just hypothetical right now. I really did come across them but not for the purpose of a study. I guess assume the worst case in all of you questions. The ultimate function is to see if there are any occasions where this needs to be considered. |
