ABB has produced a range of technical guides that offer concise explanations of the major technologies and technical issues in motor and variable-speed-drive operation.
The technical guides cover subjects such as the basics of variable-speed drives, dimensioning a drive system, electrical braking, harmonics and AC drives, and bearing currents.
Fully indexed and illustrated with explanatory diagrams, the guides are said to form a library of drive and motor information.
Other titles in the series are motion-control drives, EMC-compliant installation of variable-speed drives, EU Council directives on adjustable-speed and electrical-power-drive systems, and direct torque control.
There is also a guide on functional safety, with advice on how to meet the latest European directives.
