− 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 advantages 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 DCdrives 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.
