ABB’s long years of experience with variable-speed DC
drives, plus use of the latest state-of-the-art technolo-
gies, have been combined to create this product. The
DCS 600 MultiDrive contains a complete program
with ratings between 25 A and 5200 A as a power
converter module (in 12-pulse parallel configuration
appr. 10,000 A). It is suitable for all commonly used
three-phase systems.
All our products are CE approved.
The DC drives factory of ABB Automation Products,
Drives Division in Lampertheim has implemented and
maintains a quality management system according to
DIN EN ISO 9001 and an environmental manage-
ment system according to DIN EN ISO 14001.
DCS 600 MultiDrives are approved according to UL
(Underwriters Laboratory).
They also comply with the relevant EMC standards for
Australia and New Zealand and are C-Tick marked.
DCS 600 MultiDrive converter units are suitable for
standard and system drive applications.
Appropriate PC programs ensure that the drives are
engineered for user-friendly operator control.
