DC Drives

DCS500 and DCS600 MultiDrive series

- a complete range of DC converters intended for the supply and control of DC machines, in stand-alone or group drive systems with high performance and reliability specifications.

• Range from 25 to 5200 A DC
• From 25 to 5,200 A at voltages up to 1000V
• Ideal for users who need a powerful drive for demanding applications
• Available in a single bridge up to 5200 A
• DCS 600 shares the same hardware platform as the DCS500
• Ideal for use in composite systems with both AC and DC drives 

DCS600 MultiDrive converters are fully digital and mounted in an enclosure. Optional equipment is available for meeting many safety standards. The converter can be used for standard applications but has the flexibility to be customised for the most demanding applications.

We stock the latest DC Drives from ABB such as the DCS 400 which is part of a three level drive system package to meet the demands of machine builders. The package offers reliable competitively priced products, backed by on-time delivery, good partnership and fast response to enquiries.

DCS400

The DCS 400 is a digital DC drive that was introduced in 1999. It was ABB’s first drive featuring a start-up assistant, and ease of use. The DCS 400 is targeted at OEMs, like machine builders, who need an intelligent, easy-to-use digital DC drive at an attractive price. Reduced wiring simplifies the installation (3 wires in, 4 wires out). The integrated start-up assistant means there are only six basic steps to completely commission the drive.

The DCS 400 is among the smallest drive in its class, positioning it for easy retrofit, including the replacement of competitor’s drives. An integrated IGBT-based field supply results in less motor stress. The drive comes with a multi-language display panel and application macros with configurable I/O for easy adaptation to the user’s needs.

The DCS 400 is available from 20 to 1.000 A at voltages up to 500 V AC (max. DC voltage 600V).

• Range from 20 to 820 A DC
• DCS400 is a digital DC drive targeted at OEMs, such as machine builders
• An integrated IGBT-based field supply results in less motor stress and better speed accuracy
• From 20 to 1000 A at voltage up to 500 V AC (max DC voltage 600V)
  
   
  
• Compact design gives builders the space to integrate more accessories
