The main power components of an AC drive, have to be able to supply the required level of current and voltage in a form the motor can use. The controls have to be able to provide the user with necessary adjustments such as minimum and maximum speed settings, so that the drive can be adapted to the user's process. Spare parts have to be available and the repair manual has to be readable. It's nice if the drive can shut itself down when detecting either an internal or an external problem. It's also nice if the drive components are all packaged in a single enclosure to aid in installation but that's about it.

Are ac drives better than dc drives?
Yes, ac drives are better than dc drives. You can find more info at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable-frequency_drive or www.avtron.com/ac_vs_dc.htm
What is the working principle of AC and DC drives?
Personally, AC and DC drives are quite easy to understand. DC drive is a device that uses AC as a power source to control the DC device.
What powers your AC in your car?
Your cars engine accessory belt drives the AC compressor.
How is the AC belt diagram for a 99 Kia Sportage?
????? The belt only drives the AC so all you have is the tensioner, AC and main pully!
What are dc drives main functions?
DC drives are direct current motors. They are lower in cost and easier to control as compared to AC drives, which are also known as alternating current motors.
What is the difference between Variable Speed Drive and Variable Frequency Drive?
A variable frequency drive (VFD) refers to AC drives only and a variable speed drive (VSD) refers to either AC Drives or DC Drives. VFD's vary the speed of an AC motor by varying the frequency to the motor. VSD's referring to DC motors vary the speed by varying the voltage to the motor.
What common problems arise in ac drives?
Drive D\does not start from terminal block start, run or jog inputs is a common problem. Some solutions are here http://www.ien.com/article/troubleshooting-ac-drives/113827
Is a timing belt the same as a serpentine belt?
No the timing belt drives the camshaft. A serpentine belt drives accessories such as alternator, power steering and ac.
What is amplidyne?
An amplidyne is a form of electromechanical amplifier in which an AC motor drives a DC generator.
What is an amplidyne?
An amplidyne is a form of electromechanical amplifier in which an AC motor drives a DC generator.
Which power criterion will affect the number of internal drives that are installed in a computer?
AC input
What is the meaning of a c drive?
An AC drive is a type of adjustable-speed drive used in electro-mechanical drive systems to control AC motor speed and torque by varying motor input frequency and voltage. AC drives are used in applications ranging from small appliances to the largest of mine mill drives and compressors.
