Expertise and technology

Energy efficiency

Nearly 70 percent of all electrical energy in industry is used to power motors. They enable applications to run in an industry process, such as pumps moving liquids, or fans moving air. Lowering CO₂ emissions and increasing energy efficiency is critical for our planet, but also for ensuring stable and productive industry operations.

Digital offering

Our award-winning digital solutions enable partners and end-users to become better in their business. Simple as that.

Reliability

ABB has a comprehensive range of reliable, energy efficient low voltage and medium voltage drives, along with energy efficient motors and generators, all complemented by services. Backed by years of rigorous testing, ABB drives and industry-leading expertise ensure peak performance and minimized maintenance costs—delivering reliability you can trust.

Functional safety

ABB offers various safety devices and tools for designing safer machines and processes that utilize drives. Our drive-based functional safety offering includes drives that come with integrated safety features and extended safety functionality all in one package. Safe connection between drive and PLC can be established using PROFIsafe or CIP safety protocols. This is enabled using optional safety functions modules.

Ecodesign directive

There is rapidly growing demand worldwide for more efficient products to cut energy consumption, reduce emissions and help to build a more sustainable future. The Ecodesign regulation (EU) 2019/1781 is an effective way to improve the environmental performance of products by setting minimum energy efficiency requirements for low voltage induction motors and variable speed drives.

All-compatible drives portfolio

There are many things to evaluate when investing in a variable speed drive or other piece automation. At the end you should be able to make a well-informed decision considering both the short-term investment and the long-term cost of ownership.

Direct Torque Control (DTC)

Variable-speed drives have enabled unprecedented performance in electric motors and delivered dramatic energy savings by matching motor speed and torque to actual requirements of the driven load.
