Abstract
High-power motors, mostly operating in medium voltage (MV), are of most interest due to their enormous energy consumption. This chapter discusses the challenges and problems faced when using MV drives and indicating the direction for proper use and understanding of such drives. Furthermore, an overview of the popular converter topologies in MV drives is summarized. The chapter presents the existing MV drives technologies and emphasizes the need for further development and enhancement of MV drives. It discusses most of the existing shortcomings such as overvoltage due to dv/dt or wave reflection, bearing currents due to CMV, regeneration capabilities, torsional vibration, isolating transformer or transformerless solution, fault detection, and condition monitoring, and comments solutions whenever possible.
