Eight. A lucky number for many — including us. It’s what pushes us, knowing that a world where motors are run by drives could lead to an 8% reduction in energy consumption by 2040. It’s a reality that is gaining momentum, with more investment being made into energy efficiency, hybridization and electrification.
We’re experts in optimizing motor efficiency and energy consumption. But to take full advantage of AC drive technology, we think outside the box. Like taking into account our customers’ entire businesses and systems, or even megatrends like climate change. For solutions designed to make a lasting difference today — and tomorrow.
We always strive for maximum flexibility so that our drives can be used by any brand of motor, any system, and for any need. Building AC drives designed with the technical, commercial and operational aspects of system lifetime in mind, giving you the insight and data to make informed decisions. Because to change how the world consumes energy, we all need a foot in the door.
As global energy demand grows, energy conservation becomes ever more vital. That’s why we at Danfoss want the world to see AC drives the way we do: as the best way to control electrical motor speed and thus, save energy. Ultimately, helping people view energy efficiency as an energy source — the “first fuel”, as some would say.
We’re putting these goals into action by aiming for CO2 neutrality by 2030.

The birth of the iC7 series
To create a new era of AC drives took years of intense research and development, backed by decades of know-how and passion. And help from thousands of experts, all determined to change how the world uses AC drives.
Rethinking the driveTo create a lasting impact with our drives meant starting with a clean slate. With our R&D and manufacturing teams designing drives for automated assembly, to reduce the risk of failure. And increasing their lifespan and quality through use of the Six Sigma method — as well as by testing them using hardware-in-the-loop simulations.
By refusing to outsource, we control every process and ensure all drives are tested under load. For AC drives that offer ultra-reliability and full traceability.
Our R&D and manufacturing teams work hand-in-glove to help us reach our goals, using the Six Sigma approach and other market-leading strategies to ensure fast and accurate results.
Built from the ground up with each cell individually optimized, the iC7 series factory is fully digitalized to ensure the utmost consistency and traceability.
In developing the iC7 series, cutting-edge project management practices include a sprint approach to both software and hardware engineering. In plenum problem solving sessions, colleagues present their ideas to peers for scrutiny in a safe environment. With the underlying philosophy of "fail fast", the result is unprecedented attention to detail.
Regardless of the industry you operate in, using fully versatile drives will make all the difference. Reliable drives designed to give you superior motor control and predictive maintenance capabilities, and with built-in encryption. For the highest-performing systems possible.
Optimizing your applications demands intelligent drives designed to improve uptime. Powerful drives that will lead to greater vessel performance with reduced emissions. Highly reliable drives that mean your systems will be able to handle any environment or workload.
To decarbonize our world, we need to support electrification of transport, industry and growth of renewable energy. Using intelligent, efficient and flexible power converters for hybrid or fully electric systems. Power converters designed to help you meet your climate goals, profitably.
The iC7 series drives act as sensors, increasing your security against cyber-attacks using a hardware crypto chip, protected firmware and encrypted data transfers.
With the iC7 series you get superior shaft performance even at low speed, in open or closed loop. Commission induction or synchronous motors fast with Automatic Motor Adaptation at standstill.
