FAQs About ABB Frequency Drives

1. What is the difference between an AC drive and a DC drive?

- AC drives convert alternating current (AC) to variable frequency AC to control the speed of AC motors. DC drives use a rectifier to convert AC to direct current (DC) before controlling the speed of DC motors.

2. How do I select the right ABB frequency drive for my application?

- Consider the motor power, load profile, speed range, and environmental conditions. Consult the manufacturer's technical specifications or request assistance from an authorized distributor.
