What is AC/DC drives & motors?

AC/DC drives and motors encompass a broad range of electric motors and the electronic drives used to control their speed and torque. AC motors, powered by alternating current, are commonly used in industrial applications due to their efficiency and reliability. DC motors, powered by direct current, offer precise control and are often found in applications requiring variable speed. Drives are used to regulate the voltage and frequency supplied to the motor, allowing for fine-tuned control over its operation. Common uses include pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, and machine tools, where precise speed control can improve efficiency and process control.
