ABB Inverters: Empowering Global Industrial Decarbonization with Outstanding Energy Savings


ABB inverters, leveraging half a century of technological expertise in industrial drives, utilize core technologies such as precise speed control, soft-start/soft-stop protection, and intelligent energy efficiency optimization to fundamentally solve the energy waste problem of traditional fixed-speed motors ("overpowered motors for underpowered applications"). This results in significant energy consumption reductions of 20%-50%, with energy savings reaching up to 90% in extreme industrial scenarios such as water treatment and HVAC. The payback period for most applications is as short as 6 months, demonstrating outstanding economic benefits. Its full-power product matrix covers diverse categories including general-purpose and heavy-duty industrial models, precisely adapting to the needs of numerous industries such as petrochemicals, water treatment, intelligent manufacturing, and port logistics. To date, it has cumulatively saved global industrial users over 445 billion kWh of electricity, equivalent to a reduction of approximately 370 million tons of carbon dioxide emissions, equivalent to the annual carbon emissions of nearly 7.8 million cars. As a long-term leader in China's low-voltage drive market, ABB is continuously deepening its local innovation and capacity upgrade strategy through its Nanjing Gigafactory, rapidly responding to domestic market demands, and tailoring efficient and energy-saving drive solutions for companies in various fields. This comprehensive support helps companies reduce operating costs, improve energy efficiency, and accelerate their green and low-carbon transformation.
