What is the difference between AC Drives and DC Drives?
Answer Posted / abhimannu nayak
drives are used only for motion control so if you are
talking about ac or dc drives then both are only used for
motor speed control by controlling ac or dc output voltage
DC drives are used for DC motors speed control whereas ac
drives are used for AC motors . Moreover DC drives have
only converter whereas ac drives have both converter and
inverter . in DC drives , thyristors are normally used for
converter whereas in Ac drives , thyristors/IGBT/ IGCT are
used dependong on the applications
DC drives performing the following functions:
1.speed control of DC motors
2.Breaking by applying resistance at rotor.
3.uses converter and chopper.
AC drives performing the following functions:
1.speed control of AC motors
2.Breaking/accelerating by changing the frequency of the
supply.
3.uses converter and inverter

In Electrical 'Single Line Diagram' cable nomenclature shows "2 X 1C X 630sq.mm to be provided for one incomer. The question is how many cable to be proved for one Incomer.
For refrigerators the motor current is raised beyond its rating on both conditions when the voltage of the system is more(say 270v) than the rated voltage(220v) as well as when the voltage of system is less(say 160v) than normal voltageof 220v, why explain?
