Industrial design

ABB industrial drives are designed with current ratings to

be used in industrial environment 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. 

Builtin drive options make the installation work fast and easy.

The robust enclosures and cabinets, with a wide range of

enclosure classes, as well as power terminals, are designed

for harsh environments.

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. This means

– together with extensive protection features – excellent

reliability in the demanding industrial market.

Single drives

The single drive configuration contains a rectifier, DC link and

an inverter in one single AC drive unit.

The single drives are complete AC drives that can be installed

without any additional cabinet or enclosure. The single drives

are available as wall-mounted, free-standing and cabinet-built

constructions. The protection degree of the single drives is at

least IP21, and higher protection degrees are available as an option.
