3. Altivar® 212 AC Drives with RHT
●AC drive (with line or bus reactor)
100HP example
● Typical 6 pulse AC drive
● With 3% line reactor
● Input voltage: orange
● Input current: cyan
● Lower current spikes due to capacitors charging
● Peak currents = 190 amps
● Harmonic current distortion
● Significant double humped current waveform
contributes to harmonic content.
● THDI = 38% distortion in this example

4. Altivar® 212 AC Drives with RHT
●Altivar 212 AC Drive
100HP example
● Input voltage: orange
● Input current: cyan
● Low current spikes due to capacitors charging
● Peak currents = 190 amps
● Harmonic current distortion
● Input current is a square shaped waveform.
● Eliminating the large double humped waveform
● Reducing harmonic content
● THDI = 33% in this example
