What is AC/DC motors and drives?

AC/DC motors and drives encompass both alternating current (AC) and direct current (DC) electric motors and the electronic drives used to control their speed and torque. AC motors, known for their reliability and efficiency, are widely used in industrial applications like pumps, fans, and compressors. DC motors, offering high starting torque and precise speed control, are employed in applications such as robotics, electric vehicles, and some types of industrial machinery. AC/DC drives adjust the voltage and frequency supplied to the motors, optimizing performance and energy consumption. These drives allow for variable speed operation, improved process control, and reduced mechanical stress on the motor and connected equipment.
