Hello all,
I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions for frequency conversion from North American 120V/60hz to Chinese 220v/50hz service?
(I am involved in building a machine that is to go to China and am in Canada.)
I am considering using a VFD to adjust the fq into a three phase transformer and draw off one incoming phase to achieve a single phase output.
(I suspect that this will require some tuning of the VFD fq to achieve 50hz.)
I know there is a lot of safety circuitry and status monitoring of VFDs so I am not completely confident that it will allow such a configuration.
(Load considerations as well as differential voltage drops across the 3 phases.)
I am curious to know if anyone has tried this, or if anyone can make a suggestion for a device to vary AC frequency.
(Suspected service requirement will be about 12 Amp @ 120V/60hz... Probably about 10 Amp at 220V/50hz.)
Thanks.
