DC DriveSize 0.21

DC DriveSize is a professional sizing and selection tool from ABB Automation Products GmbH (Lampertheim, Germany) for engineering DC drive systems. It helps engineers, OEMs, and system integrators specify the right ABB DC drive and accessories based on real application data, reducing guesswork and shortening proposal and design cycles.

By entering key parameters—such as motor ratings, supply voltage, load type, duty cycle, and ambient conditions—the software calculates the required drive rating, checks thermal and overload margins, and recommends suitable configurations. It also streamlines documentation by generating clear selection reports that support quotations and project files.

Key capabilities:

• Application-based sizing for a wide range of DC motor duties, including continuous, intermittent, and cyclic loads
• Support for non-regenerative and regenerative DC drive configurations
• Configuration of options and accessories (enclosures, filters, and related components)
• Calculations for current, voltage, overload capacity, and thermal performance
• User-defined load cycles and safety factors for accurate dimensioning
• Exportable selection summaries for engineering and sales documentation
• Intuitive interface designed to speed up drive selection and reduce errors

DC DriveSize helps ensure reliable, cost-effective ABB DC drive selections for industrial applications by aligning drive capability with the demands of the motor and process.

DC DriveSize is developed by ABB Automation Products GmbH. The most popular version of this product among our users is 0.2. The name of the program executable file is DriveSize.exe. Works with ac, dcd, dcs, ac4, aca and acs file types.
