Rastar
Synchronous Motor Drive
Synchronous motors play a major role in today’s industry by providing higher productivity and also the possibility of designing and manufacturing in very large sizes. The biggest challenge of using synchronous motors is the need for a driver and its specific design for each motor. The driver of synchronous motors has very high technology and knowledge. The complexity and depth of this knowledge will double when we are dealing with large-size engines
Recognizing this problem, Ahar Company put the project of designing and manufacturing this type of driver on its agenda in order to meet the needs of various industries in the country. This product, which is called Restar, is designed based on the latest technology and several ultra-fast processors, as well as parallel signal processing
The first RASTAR product of this company was designed and put into operation in 2022 using the gas turbine starting system for Kraft units of the Yazd combined cycle power plant
