Abstract: This study presents energy efficient 3 phase 600Hz-power system, suitable for industrial and commercial zones that require high efficiency, less weight and space for the equipments. This system has many advantages like higher efficiency, less space and less weight of the equipments. An experiment has been conducted on 40 Watt, 220V fluorescent tube light with 600Hz and 50Hz supply. The results show that the 600Hz system is efficient than 50Hz power system. A three phase parallel resonant inverter circuit has been modeled and simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK. Further for compensating line voltage drop and unbalance voltage, Thyristored Switched Capacitors are adopted. XLPE Power cables are used for transmission to reduce the inductance drop. An application of high frequency drive systems used in synthetic yarn textile industrial drives is explained.
