Does your plant or facility have an application that needs braking torque (provided by the motor drive)? Even the need for just a little braking torque can pose problems if it is continuous. In comparison, DC drives are typically favored when braking is required. Why? These drives are designed to pump braking energy easily. They are cost-effective due to the regenerative qualities of regen dc drives. For non-regenerative DC drives, there are DC bridges available which cost less than an AC drive. So while AC drives may benefit an operation in some ways, they are often more costly and complex in design than DC drives when braking torque is necessary. If you’re still unsure about which drive will work best for your operation, then speak with a qualified sales engineer before buying an Ac or DC motor and/or drive. Carotron, Inc., for example, manufactures a variety of DC drives and also offers AC drives. The company provides one-on-one consultations for distributors and end users so customers can quickly and easily find the right drive. Check out multiple options so you can rest assured that you’re getting the best drive for your money!
