ABB industrial drives are designed for industrial
applications, and especially for applications in process
industries such as the pulp & paper, metals, mining,
cement, power, chemical, and oil & gas industries.
ABB industrial drives are highly flexible AC drives that
can be configured to meet the precise needs of these
applications, and hence order-based configuration is an
integral part of the offering. These drives cover a wide
range of powers and voltages, including voltages up to
690 V. ABB industrial drives come with a wide range
of inbuilt options. A key feature of these drives is
programmability, which makes adaptation to different
applications easy.
ABB industrial drives are designed with current ratings
to be used in industrial environments for applications
requiring high overloadability. The heart of the drive is
DTC, Direct Torque Control, that provides high performance
and significant benefits: e.g. accurate static and
dynamic speed and torque control, high starting torque
and long motor cables. Inbuilt drive options make the
installation work fast and easy.
One of the most significant design criteria of ABB
industrial drives has been the long lifetime. Wearing
parts such as fans and capacitors have been selected
accordingly. Together with the extensive protection
features this results in excellent reliability in the
demanding industrial market.
