AC drives are used to control the speed and torque of a standard induction motor, the workhorse of the industry.
AC drive technology extends the motor speed range from zero to high above the rated speed, increasing the productivity of the driven process. When a low capacity is enough, the drive reduces the machine speed and saves energy.

DC drives continue to be an attractive alternative for machine suppliers. The modern DC converters is easy to operate, compact and low in maintenance.
DC Drives can be used in most industrial applications as well as for the modernization of old plants. We offers the complete portfolio of three-phase DC drives - from 9 kW (12 Hp) up to 18 MW (24 000 Hp). ABB DC drives are available directly from ABB or through valued ABB Drives partners.
