New AC Drive Performance Standard
AC haul truck drive - how it works
AC traction drives are the logical solution for today's higher payload/performance requirements:
AC traction drives, such as those used in railroad freight locomotives, are more powerful than today's largest DC drives
Their reliability has been proven in thousands of locomotive, excavator, and industrial drives
They meet high torque at low speed and high speed requirements
AC traction drives are virtually maintenance free
Higher AC drive efficiency reduces fuel/oil costs
Innovative control reduces brake, engine and tire wear
AC haul truck design
The drive system technology and the support package allows an operator to minimize costs per ton of material moved over the life cycle of the machine
This means:
Bigger payloads
Faster cycle times
Less maintenance
Lower operating costs
More reliable systems
More intelligent systems
AC haul truck drive systems will improve:
Productivity
Profitability
