Island of efficiency helps designers boost performance

Inverter Drive Systems ABB Inverter AVP Posted on 15th August 2016 by thelasthurdle15th August 2016
Island of efficiency helps designers boost performance

Around 80 percent of maximal torque at 90 percent speed is normally considered an efficient duty point for a motor and drive system. However, a more efficient duty point can be found which could benefit a designer tasked with improving a pump system’s efficiency. If you plot motor ISO efficiency curves for various duty points, … Continue reading →

What SAFE TORQUE OFF Is

Inverter Drive Systems ABB Inverter AVP Posted on 19th June 2016 by thelasthurdle18th July 2016
Safe Torque Off

Many ABB inverters have a feature called Safe Torque Off or STO, but what is it? Safe Torque Off is a function that prevents the inverter from generating torque in the motor. It ensures that no torque generating energy continues to act on the motor and that the motor cannot be re-started until the STO … Continue reading →

Twin PID Loops Give Drives More Control Options

Inverter Drive Systems ABB Inverter AVP Posted on 5th June 2016 by thelasthurdle18th July 2016
Twin PID Loops Give Drives More Control Options

Two PID (proportional integral derivative) controllers, feature in the latest ABB drives, making it easier and less expensive to set up control loops to manage industrial processes. The ABB drive contains two independent PID loops, which can be selected from digital inputs. The addition of the two loops means that instead of simply controlling the … Continue reading →

DTC – New generation motor control platform offers greater speed and torque control

Inverter Drive Systems ABB Inverter AVP Posted on 5th June 2016 by thelasthurdle18th July 2016

The motor control platform, direct torque control (DTC) – used extensively in ABB’s variable-speed drives (VSDs) since 1996 – has been greatly improved to bring even higher accuracy in motor speed and torque control, as well as the ability to control more motor types. This fourth generation DTC provides enhanced performance in open and closed … Continue reading →

Torque Power and Speed A Special Relationship

Inverter Drive Systems ABB Inverter AVP Posted on 22nd May 2016 by thelasthurdle18th July 2016
Torque Power and Speed A Special Relationship

One of the more difficult relationships to understand with regard to applications using electric motors is that between torque, power and speed. We have all seen the data on a motor nameplate – power, current, speed in rpm and all of the rest. To get to the motor torque we have to convert them into … Continue reading →

AC to DC Motor and Drive Conversions

Inverter Drive Systems ABB Inverter AVP Posted on 22nd May 2016 by thelasthurdle18th July 2016
AC to DC Motor and Drive Conversions 1

The History There has always been a need for variable speed motors; dc motors were the first cheap, simple variable speed motors. They superseded NS motors, Schrage motors and eddy current drives with variator gearboxes trying to inefficiently compete mechanically. The dc motor offered a compact, relatively efficient reliable motor with good speed control and … Continue reading →
