ABB Variable Speed Drive
ABB Has the largest drive service team of all drive suppliers, with service engineers located throughout the world. ABB service partners provide around the clock support and service, and have been trained audited and certified to exacting standards allowing each to provide professional support where and when you need it.
To meet the varying requirements of its customers, ABB offers a wide range of application specific solutions, ranging from pump, fan, conveyor and compressor applications through to demanding machinery and marine solutions. This product guide gives an overview of ABB’s portfolio of low voltage AC and DC drives. Being able to vary the speed and torque of an electric motor, and in turn the driven load, brings benefits including:
■ Substantial energy savings – Rather than have an electric motor running continuously at full speed, an electric drive allows the user to slow it down or speed it up depending on the demand.
■ Optimal process control – An electric drive provides higher process speed, torque and accuracy. It provides an increase in process speed above the nominal.
■ Reduced need for maintenance – Being able to vary the speed and torque of an electric motor means there is less wear and tear on the motor and the driven machine. For example, the ability to bring a process up to speed slowly prevents the sudden shock loading that can damage a motor and the driven machine over time.
■ Efficient system upgrade – An electric drive allows the removal of valves, gears and belts. It also ensures network dimensioning based on a lower starting current.
Did you know?
About 65% of the electricity in the industry is consumed by electric motors. And yet, less than 10% of those motors are fitted with a variable speed drive. If more motors were fitted with a variable speed drive, the energy savings would be remarkable.
