Motion Control & Drives


Reliable motor operation

1 April 2011 Motion Control & Drives

ABB’s new generation of modular motor control and protection devices for applications up to 18,5 kW/400 V allows safe and reliable operation of motors in factory automation. The new range of the contactors integrates an AC/DC coil. Therefore only one contactor covering a wide range of AC and DC control voltages is used. This increases flexibility and drastically reduces the engineering risks. Find out more in Hall 5, Stand K11.
