omron — Introducing the MxC

MxC Introduction ‹ Introducing the MxC The design of the MxC is simpler and more efficient than a conventional inverter. The MxC uses a different mechanism to generate AC voltage, and relies on nine bi-directional switches to adjust AC output power to the motor directly from an AC line power input. The MxC has no rectifying diodes and no DC bus capacitors commonly used in inverters. New Type: Varispeed AC (uses the MxC circuit, with no external devices) MxC Regenerated power Electric power Regenerated power Electric power Power Input current, low harmonics Motor : Bi-directional switches Conventional Type:

Requires a regenerative resistor discharging system and two external devices Regenerated power Electric power Electric power PWM inverter Power Motor high harmonics Braking resistor: Emits regenerated power as heat Braking unit Conventional Type: Harmonic filter and power regeneration system with two external devices Regenerated power Electric power Regenerated power Electric power PWM inverter PWM converter Power Motor Input current, low harmonics 1 -2 Built-in AC filter Regenerated power Reactor Regenerated power AC filter
