ABB industrial drives

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. ABB industrial drives are available both as

complete AC drives and as modules to meet the requirements

of the users, OEMs and system integrators. These drives are

highly flexible AC drives that can be configured to meet the

precise needs of industrial applications, and hence orderbased configuration is an integral part of the offering.

Thecomplete drives and drive modules cover a wide range of

powers and voltages, including industrial voltages up to

690 V. ABB industrial drives come with a wide range of builtin options.

A key feature of these drives is programmability,

which makes adaptation to different applications easy.

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.
