Basic Concepts:
ABB variable speed drives operate on the principle of pulse-width modulation (PWM) to control motor speed. They receive a variable-frequency input signal and convert it into a variable-voltage output signal, which drives the motor. This allows for precise speed regulation and efficient energy management.
| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) | Technique for converting a digital signal into an analog signal |
| Inverter | Converts DC power to AC power for motor control |
| Stator | Stationary part of the motor that produces the magnetic field |
| Rotor | Rotating part of the motor that interacts with the stator's magnetic field |
