Description
📋 Product Description
The CONTRAVES ADB 380.60M is a VARIDYN Compact industrial DC drive designed to regulate DC motor operation in industrial machinery and machine-tool applications. It converts three-phase AC input power into a controlled DC output for applications requiring adjustable motor speed and torque.
This unit is rated for a 380 V AC three-phase supply and provides a DC output of up to 400 V and 60 A. The stated 34 kVA input rating and 50/60 Hz frequency make it important to verify the facility supply, motor ratings, and drive configuration before installation. This is a legacy drive, so check the exact model code and terminal arrangement when sourcing a replacement.
