They are benefiting from AC drives in terms of product quality and yield, power, maintenance and installation space savings, and RAS (reliability, availability, and serviceability), etc. The effects have been investigated by the subcommittee of IEEJ (Institute of Electrical Engineers of Japan). The paper is an interim report based on the investigation. |
