To understand in easy way the below table provides the differences between VSI and CSI VSI CSI VSI is used to fed impressed CSI is used to fed the voltages impressed currents Load commutation is not Both forced and load possible commutations are possible Open loop and closed loop Only closed loop control is operations are possible possible Voltage with variable The current with variable frequency is fed to Induction frequency is fed to motor Induction motor The efficiency is medium The efficiency is high These drives are suitable for These drives are suitable low, medium power for medium and high power applications applications Multimotor operation is Multimotor operation is not possible possible Pulse Width Modulation( PWM) The PWM technique is not technique is used to reduce used in CSI so the the problems of harmonic distortions in the output content, torque pulsations, are more. motor heating etc. It gives good and Poor dynamic behaviour satisfactory behavior in transient and dynamic state.
