WG 3.15 Drive Technology

Focus

The "Drive Technology" working group addresses issues including the following topics in the context of its experience exchange, its concept developments, formulation of requirements to be met by automation solutions and its involvement in national and international standardisation:

  • Low voltage motors
  • High voltage motors
  • Converter drives
  • Explosion protection for electric drives
  • Efficiency of drives
  • Motor control and protection

Advantages

  • Recommendations for efficient solutions
  • Ensuring required quality standards
  • Standardisation of the design of motors to the greatest possible extent
  • Support for finding optimal technical and economic solutions
  • Important safety notes
  • Influence on standardisation work
