What is an Electrical Drive?
Definition of Electrical Drives
Electrical drives are systems that control the motion of electrical machines.
Components
An electrical drive includes an electric motor and a sophisticated control system.
Advantages
Electrical drives allow precise and optimized motion control using software.
Applications
Electrical drives are used in various industrial and domestic applications, such as factories, transportation, and household appliances.
Historical Background
The first electrical drive was created in 1838 by B.S. Iakobi in Russia, with widespread industrial use beginning around 1870.
