No O/P Chokes means lesser voltage drop i.e.

Motor gets fuller Voltage. So the Motor Torque

ABB has one of the highest efficiencies in its VFD
Class i.e. 98% at Nominal Power Level (Inclusive 98%
of the Input Choke)

Built-in Chokes for reduced harmonics Built-in

Efficiency of ABB Drive is Inclusive of the Choke

Rating, which is Factory Fitted and with matching Inclusive
impedance to the Rectifier.

Complete Compliance to EN 61800-3 Standard i.e.

to both Conducted Emission and Radiated 1st Environment, C2
Emission, covering both Emission and Immunity.

Coated Boards provide a layer of protective film

over the PCB components, thereby not allowing YES
the dirt, dust and corrosion to seep in readily.

When DC Magnetising is activated, the

drive automatically magnetises the motor
before starting. This feature guarantees
the highest possible breakaway torque,
up
to 200% of motor nominal torque.

By activating the motor DC Hold feature it

is possible to lock the rotor at zero speed.
 The drive can provide greater
deceleration by raising the level of
magnetisation in the motor. By increasing
the motor flux, the energy generated by
the motor during braking can be
converted to motor thermal energy. This
feature is useful in the lower Motor
Power ranges. The braking starts
immediately after a stop command is
given. The function does not need to wait
for the flux reduction before it can start
the braking.
Also The cooling of the motor is efficient.
The stator current of the motor increases
during the Flux Braking, not the rotor
current. The stator cools much more
efficiently than the rotor.

Energy or Flux Optimisation reduces the

total energy consumption and motor
noise level when
the drive operates below the nominal

load. The total efficiency (motor and the
drive)
can be improved by 1% to 10%,
depending on the load torque and speed.
