This paper reports on large variable-frequency drives which are ideally suited to many petrochemical applications. The major concern often expressed during the early stages of the project that could utilize such a drive is that harmonic problems could arise. Numerous papers have been written concerning the sources of these harmonics and locating them in an existing system. An attempt to show how to eliminate the harmonic problems early in the design phase of a project is mad to reassure the uninitiated that the task is not insurmountable.
