About Electrical Drives
An electronic device known as an electrical drive is one that is intended to precisely and controllably transform electrical energy into mechanical power by altering particular motor characteristics.
Based on supply, electrical drives may be divided into two categories: AC drives and DC drives. Constant speed drives and adjustable speed drives are the two categories under which electrical drives fall.
Why is Electrical Drives important?
Electric drives are crucial in a variety of industrial applications, including electric cars, elevators, and robots, among others. A power-electronic converter is used to regulate an electric motor (or generator) in an electric drive system (such as a frequency converter).
