Retrofit of analog DC-technology
Modern DC-drives – More up-to-date than ever
Today, DC-drive technology is more up-to-date than ever.
Their attractive cost-performance ratio and functional advan-
tages such as high torque at low speed, light weight and low
power loss, turn DC-drives into the preferred solution for many
applications. As far as innovation is concerned ABB’s DC-
drives match the same high standards as ABB’s AC-drives.
Easy upgrade of installed older converters
The machines are frequently still in very good condition, but
spare parts and know-how for the installed power electronics
are no longer available.
With the DCS550, existing machines can be kept in operation
by replacing the old drive.
Short downtimes and low costs for the retrofit are additional
advantages of an upgrade of existing machinery.
