DTC - A Motor Control Technique for all Seasons
Variable-speed drives (VSDs) have enabled unprecedented performance in electric motors and delivered dramatic energy savings by matching motor speed and torque to actual requirements of the driven load. Most VSDs in the market rely on a modulator stage that conditions voltage and frequency inputs to the motor, but causes inherent time delay in processing control signals. In contrast, the premium VSDs from ABB employ direct torque control (DTC) — an innovative technology originated by ABB — greatly increasing motor torque response. In addition, DTC provides further benefits and has grown into a larger technology brand which includes drive hardware, control software, and numerous system-level features.
