Frequency Converter Power
Conversion
In today's industry, global commerce has become a way of
life. This creates the necessity to convert power for equipment used in
environments where dissimilar voltages and frequencies are the norm.
TEMCo Frequency Converter Motor Generator sets are the answer to bridging this
gap. TEMCo Frequency Converters are an economical answer to running your
industrial equipment overseas, or your overseas equipment here. In some
cases our frequency converters are an ideal source of power for entire
factories.
TEMCo Frequency Converter Motor Generator Sets (MG Sets) are used for converting power frequency, voltage and phase. With frequency this is most often 50Hz or 60Hz utility line frequency power over to 50Hz, 60Hz, or 400Hz power to run equipment. In addition to this, TEMCo's Frequency Converter Motor Generator Sets also offer line isolation, harmonic cancellation, power factor correction, phase conversion, voltage conversion with balanced, smooth, controlled power output. Typical applications include AC variable speed drives, inverters, computers and computer controlled equipment, deep well pumps, industrial machinery and many more. 400Hz Frequency Converters are most often used for Aerospace or Aircraft to keep planes powered up when on the ground in ground power units.

TEMCo has many years experience developing and manufacturing industrial power solutions. TEMCo Frequency Converter Motor Generator Sets are designed with the most demanding commercial equipment in mind so you are guaranteed to get the best possible match to your power conversion needs.
What is the difference between a
"solid-state" frequency converter and a TEMCo Motor Generator Set
Frequency Converter?
Unlike "solid-state"
frequency converters which convert your incoming 50Hz or 60Hz AC power
to DC then chop it back up to output a synthesized AC sine wave, our
TEMCo Frequency Converter MG Sets produce a sine wave in exactly the
same way your utility generates it. TEMCo Frequency Converters
provide a true sine wave form, perfect and smooth in every
way.
Synthesized AC, as produced in solid state devices, is a rough spike laden attempt at AC power which rarely comes even close to resembling the pure, smooth wave most modern equipment was meant to run on.
TEMCo's Frequency Converter's Highly Reliable Design
TEMCo's 50Hz to 60Hz / 60Hz to 50Hz / 50Hz to 400Hz / 60Hz
to 400Hz frequency converters direct coupled, three bearing design gives the
advantages of service free reliability associated with common shaft designs and
maintenance and repair flexibility of chassis mounted designs in one package,
without the drawbacks of traditional, service prone coupling systems.
TEMCo's
Frequency Converters Are Maintenance Free
Our Frequency Converter direct coupling system requires zero
maintenance and is well proven in the diesel generator industry.
The Most Competitive Pricing For Quality Frequency
Converters
TEMCo's direct coupling design assures the most compact
package at the most competitive price of any brand in the industry. The
cost savings TEMCo offers are especially realized in KW sizes ranging from
500KW to 2MW. TEMCo is also a leader in fast delivery times - our lead
times are custom tailored to your delivery schedule needs.
TEMCo's Frequency Converters Provide
Harmonic Cancellation
Harmonics cannot, in any way,
be transmitted through TEMCo Frequency Converter Motor Generator Sets
because the only connection between the input and the output is
mechanical not electrical. It's the
shaft.
TEMCo's Frequency Converters Provide Line
Isolation
A major advantage of using
TEMCo Frequency Converter Motor Generator Sets is that, unlike other
means of frequency and power conversion the output of TEMCo Frequency
Converter Motor Generator Sets will remain stable through anything
short of complete black out or disconnection, regardless of your
utility supplied power condition.
TEMCo's many years of experience developing power equipment has allowed us to fine tune Frequency Converter Systems that are solid and reliable. TEMCo uses proprietary technology to give you unmatched quality. Your line power may suffer from brown out conditions, transients, spikes etc., however, TEMCo's Frequency Converter MG Set will not deviate from the rated frequency. The output remains constant.
In fact the actual output of a TEMCo Frequency Converter Motor Generator Set is often better than what you would normally see on your utility grid. Unlike your industrial community power, where you have no control over what your neighbors do with it and how that affects your supply, using a TEMCo Frequency Converter Motor Generator Set is like having your own power generation plant right in your facility.
Many commercial utility consumers report that other users connected to the same power grid cause momentary brown outs, surges, poor power factor and harmful transients to their power by simply switching on and off large industrial loads. This can be as simple as the voltage spike and back EMF that happens when contactors (commonly called motor starters) switch on and off large motors on factory equipment. These spikes can momentarily exceed 800 Volts on a 240V line. This is just one example of the dangers that lurk in the commercial utility system environment, but the scenarios are countless. Unless something is put in place to stop these power conditions from reaching your machinery then they will take the impact in full force.
Simple motor type loads may last a while and are fairly resilient under such conditions but over time this can cause insulation brake down then ultimately and inevitably complete failure. Sophisticated loads such as solid state devices, CNC machinery and all computer controlled loads cannot handle these situations; results are usually terminal on the first occurrence.
TEMCo's Frequency Converters Provide Power
Factor Correction
TEMCo Motor Generator Sets
can automatically compensate for power factor robbing equipment. This
helps considerably when loads are complex, unbalanced or non linear.
Remember that good power factor is essential to the electrical health
of your hardware and contributes heavily to the operational
efficiency.
TEMCo's Commitment To Quality Demands The
Best Manufacturing Materials
TEMCo has insisted on
exclusively using copper in our Frequency Converter MG Set windings.
Why? - Because of our commitment to quality. Copper, due to its
inherent high conductivity, ductility, and strength, has always been
the ideal material for conducting electricity. All TEMCo MG Sets are
manufactured with only pure electrolytic copper windings. The
following are the reasons why: 1) The conductivity of annealed
copper is set equal to 100%. This means copper provides more current
carrying capacity for a given diameter of wire than any other
engineering metal. 2) Copper resists corrosion and creep. It will not
lose strength or conductivity under conditions of high humidity nor
will it break down. The protective oxide which forms is a good
conductor of electricity. 3) Copper
has excellent thermal conductivity and therefore stays cooler during
current flow. This saves energy and promotes the dissipation of heat.
Other companies may take compromise to cut costs, but TEMCo is
committed to quality in every way!
TEMCo's Frequency Converters Have Versatile
Power Output
Most TEMCo Frequency
Converter MG Sets can be field reconfigured for 90 through 600 Volts
AC output and fine adjusted to fractional volt accuracy. This means
one machine can be reconfigured to serve multiple
purposes. In addition to this, TEMCo Frequency Converter MG Sets relay on
sophisticated voltage regulating components that constantly monitor and adjust
to maintain voltage tolerance of typically +/- 1% and better. This also
applies to frequency regulation for both induction and synchronous units that
assure you of precise frequency control. Custom models are available from
200 kW through 2 mW power output.
Available Standard Frequency Converter Configurations Include:
50Hz or 60Hz Input
50Hz, 60Hz, or 400Hz Output
120 Volts through 600 Volts Input
120 Volts through 600 Volts Output
1 or 3 phase Input
1 or 3 phase Output
