the speed of electric motors to match the actual load they must perform, rather than having the motor run at full throttle. The result was a dramatic reduction in power consumption – typically by around 50 percent in pump, fan and compressor applications – and a considerable improvement in process control.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEquipped with a revolutionary ABB technology called Direct Torque Control (DTC), the drives continuously calculate and adjust the frequency, current and voltage, providing only the power that the motor needs.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eToday, ABB is the world’s leader in low-voltage drives and high-power, medium-voltage drives.

the speed of electric motors to match the actual load they must perform, rather than having the motor run at full throttle. The result was a dramatic reduction in power consumption – typically by around 50 percent in pump, fan and compressor applications – and a considerable improvement in process control.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eEquipped with a revolutionary ABB technology called Direct Torque Control (DTC), the drives continuously calculate and adjust the frequency, current and voltage, providing only the power that the motor needs.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eToday, ABB is the world’s leader in low-voltage drives and high-power, medium-voltage drives.
