ABB AC Drive
Overview
ABB AC drives are among the easiest to select, purchase, install, commission, use and maintain. However, each ABB AC drive is backed by ABB’s promise of global support wherever in the world the drive may be used.
Substantial energy savings – Rather than have an electric motor running continuously at full speed, an AC drive allows the user to slow it down or speed it up depending on the demand.
Optimal process control – An AC drive provides higher process speed, torque and accuracy. It provides an increase in process speed above the nominal.
Reduced need for maintenance – Being able to vary the speed and torque of an electric motor means there is less wear and tear on the motor and the driven machine. For example, the ability to bring a process up to speed slowly prevents the sudden shock loading that can damage a motor and the driven machine over time.
Efficient system upgrade – An AC drive allows the removal of valves, gears and belts. It also ensures network dimensioning based on a lower starting current.
