POWER ELECTRONICS HAS A NEW EUROPEAN SALES DIRECTOR

This month Power Electronics is happy to introduce Flavio Baccini as our new European Sales Director for the Industrial division. Flavio was originally introduced to Power Electronics as a client where he was always happy with the quick response times and strong customer oriented approach of the company. This also gave him the opportunity to develop a good relationship with the Salvo family as is common with most Power Electronics customers.

He has a strong cross-disciplinary background ranging from sales to marketing to project development and even product development. His goal is to introduce a proactive approach to developing market share while focusing on the largest markets around Germany, Spain, Italy, France and the UK. He is tasked with generating new avenues of business development while being client selective in order to position products in markets that enjoy quick turnaround times. Major focus will be placed on developing medium voltage product sales where the market is currently much less saturated.

His team will be based about 25km outside Milan in Italy; with Italy currently the second largest market for drives according to European statistics. “There is still a lot of room for growth,

especially when considering the support offering from Power Electronics. Customers need more involvement from their product providers and value offering through the advent of complete product customization and that is what we can offer better than anyone”.

A great deal of time will be spent on establishing direct relationships with machine manufacturers in order to create low intensity sales with larger volumes. His opinion is that the current sales focus is on a limited portion of the market. “There are many more avenues where our products could be introduced and we look to open those markets while applying the company ethos of 24/7 support”.

Current estimates puts the focused market at well over 2.5 billion Euros, “we know that there is more than enough market share to create significant growth in the industrial sector, and we have big challenges from the European market with regards to customer requirements, I am excited for the challenge”.

We look forward to seeing great things from Flavio and we are happy to welcome him to the Power Electronics team.

Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) or Variable Frequency Drives (VFDs) are extensively used to regulate processes, shaft positioning or reduce energy consumption. However few Lead Electrical Engineers count on VSDs to reduce the size of their new or retrofitted electrical facilities. The inrush currents of large motors during motor starting create significant load impacts on the electrical network, causing voltage fluctuations or in worst cases, blackouts.

Hospitals, Security and Government buildings, water purification plants and pumping stations are critical facilities that must continue to provide despite emergency blackout situations. For this reason new and retrofitted plants require diesel gen-set power supplies and facilities that are engineered to overcome these emergency situations. A diesel gen-set power station is a costly asset that can be reduced significantly in size by installing high performance VSDs on the larger motors, which will ensure:

Low inrush current: SD700FR and XMV660 are available with soft load and starting control, which allows the user to connect the drive and start the

SOFT LOAD AND BYPASS SYNCHRONIZATION FUNCTIONALITIES SIGNIFICANTLY REDUCE CAPEX AND OPEX

motor at its rated current. This leads to a smooth drive connection and a smooth motor starting sequence that significantly reduce the load impact on grids powered with diesel gen-sets.

Low harmonics and High Power factor: SD700FR and XMV660 provide a THDI <5% to achieve compliance with IEEE519 and reduce the inefficient distortions on weak grids.

Synchronous Bypass: Once the starting sequence is finished and the motor is intended to run continuously at full speed, it is recommended to

run at 100% efficiency by transferring the motor to the grid with a synchronous bypass. SD700FR and XMV660 are available with a bypass cabinet that ensures full synchro transferring.

Low Voltage Ride Through functionality: In case of a sudden voltage fluctuation the

SD700FR and XMV660 will withstand and keep powering the unit without stopping.

An unbeatable offering and a unique philosophy of ‘Power ON Support’, makes Power Electronics the right choice for worldwide challenges.

Power Electronics SD700FR low harmonic and regenerative drive obtains A and B1 compliance against the toughest symmetric and asymmetric voltage dips defined in IEC61000-4-34.

The new software control provides nominal torque and power to the motor during voltage dips with a residual voltage over 70%. Thanks to the advanced front end rectifier of the IGBT’s, the drive is capable of automatically increasing the bus voltage and the input current to compensate for voltage dips in the line, ensuring that the power delivered to the motor remains at an acceptable value. This functionality allows facilities with unstable power networks or frequent dips, uninterrupted operation without harmful effects on their processes or machines.

Additionally, in the event of an input voltage less than 70%, the SD700FR drive will perform a controlled shutdown and will automatically provide
