Option Descriptions
Option Description

Input AC Frequency

The fixed frequency on the input side. This is specified in the System tab of Options dialog box.

Output AC Frequency

The adjustable frequency on the output of the AFD. This affects the frequency of all equipment connected on the output of the AFD.

Rating

Rated Input kVA or the motor HP of the drive.

X/R

If the AFD is regenerative, this value is used to define the short circuit X/R ratio of the contribution delivered at the input of the AFD. The Calculate button uses an ANSI standard lookup table to fill in this value. 

PF

The input power factor of the AFD for power flow simulations.

Efficiency

The efficiency of the AFD. This creates a real power increase from the output to the input of the AFD.

Input Side

Diode / IGBT

This is currently IGBT only.

Non-regen / Regenerative

Select Non-regen to simulate a non-regenerative drive and Regenerative to simulate a regenerative drive (which includes a short circuit contribution on the input of the AFD).

Initial / Momentary Fault x FLA

The defined bolted fault level for the input of the AFD if it is regenerative. The label displayed is based on the IEC or ANSI option selected to Tools > Options.

Output Side

IGBT / Thyristor

Select IGBT to model a source inverter on the output, or choose Thyristor to model a Thyristor output. This currently does not affect any calculations.

Fault x FLA

The fault current output of the AFD under a bolted fault condition.

Fault Time

The time that Fault x FLA is produced by the AFD under fault conditions
