Abstract :
The new European energy efficiency standard EN 50598-2 is in action. The standard introduces three different methods to determine the voltage source converter (VSC) losses. These methods are input-output, calorimetric, and calculation. In this paper, all these three methods are used to determine a commercial frequency converter losses and the pros and cons of all methods are highlighted and discussed.
