Method for controlling frequency converter unit, and frequency converter assembly
First Claim
1. A method for controlling a frequency converter unit, the frequency converter unit containing an input connection for receiving electric power at an input frequency, and an output connection for supplying electric power at an output frequency, the method comprising:
- supplying control signals to at least one wire connected to the input connection or the output connection of the frequency converter unit through an inductive connection, wherein the control signals alter at least one operational parameter of the frequency converter unit, the inductive connection including an openable induction loop having an open position and a closed position, the open position being arranged for setting the openable induction loop around the at least one wire and the closed position being arranged for supplying control signals to the at least one wire inside the openable induction loop.

Abstract
A method for controlling a frequency converter unit, the frequency converter unit containing an input connection for supplying electric power at an input frequency to the frequency converter unit, and an output connection for supplying electric power at an output frequency from the frequency converter unit, the method comprising a control step, in which the frequency converter unit is controlled by means of control signals. In the control step the control signals are supplied through an inductive connection to at least one wire connected to the input connection or the output connection of the frequency converter unit for transmitting electric power, the control signals being supplied to the frequency converter unit over the at least one wire.
