Author Name: Galco Industrial Electronics

ABB Drives
There are many benefits to using low voltage ABB drives, including energy savings, easy installation and overall ease of use. To better understand which ABB low voltage drives would be best for a specific application or process, the vast ABB drives portfolio should be consulted.
ABB has an extensive portfolio of electric ABB drives for use in applications which vary widely in terms of control requirements and environmental conditions. 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 to demanding machinery and marine solutions.


ABB Drives Portfolio
Below is an overview of low voltage AC and DC ABB drives.
• AC ABB Drives – The AC ABB drives product selection is the widest in the market from any manufacturer, from 0.25hp to 7000hp. AC ABB drives globally represent flexibility, ingenuity, simplicity and reliability. Becoming familiar with energy usage within a process is necessary in order to identify where added energy savings might be made. Many of the AC ABB drives offer energy use counters that help process operators evaluate and monitor energy usage within their processes. The drives can then be altered to enable more energy savings.
• Machinery ABB drives – Machinery builders can take advantage of an AC ABB drives portfolio featuring a selection of component drives, a collection of general machinery drives and for high precision applications, an assortment of high performance machinery drives. Specially designed for simple machines such as industrial ovens, to very complex machinery, these drives were created for OEM integration into machines. The drives are easy to commission and maintain.
• Standard ABB drives – The standard ABB drives collection is designed for a wide range of applications including fans and pumps and for process industries such as the food and beverage industry. A perfect option for reducing additional installation space, the standard ABB drives collection comes with all the options needed for a particular application, already built in to the drive.
• Industrial ABB drives – The Industrial ABB drives collection is designed for heavy industrial applications. These applications include mining, metals, paper and pulp, cement, chemical, power, gas and oil, waste water and food and beverage. Industrial ABB drives are available as wall mounted drives, modules for cabinet assembly or as complete cabinet-built drives. The industrial drive portfolio includes drives modified and approved for utilization in the marine environment. The Industrial ABB drives collection also has an extensive range of built-in options that can easily be programmed to fit the needs of any process or application.
• DC ABB Drives – The greatest power to size ration in the market can be found in the DC ABB drives portfolio. These ABB drives are designed for many industries, ranging from cement, metals, mining, pulp and paper, food and beverage, printing, skit lifts, and many more. The DC ABB drives can be found as module for cabinet assemblies, retrofit kits or complete cabinets. With built-in field exciters and integrated PLC's, they are the best choice in DC drives for all new and retrofit applications. Additionally, the drives are used in non-motor applications such as DC chargers and electromagnetic applications. The DC drives feature auto-tuning capabilities and intuitive user software minimize startup time and improves daily operation. This helps to increase process productivity and improve production quality.

Benefits of using low voltage ABB drives
There are numerous benefits to integrating an ABB drive in to your process. Whether the main focus is on energy savings, low maintenance or just overall usability, ABB offers a portfolio of low voltage drives to fit any application.
The benefits of using low voltage ABB drives include:
• Substantial energy savings – Electric ABB drives allow for an operator to slow down or speed up the motor, rather than having an electric motor running continuously at full speed.
• Reduced need for maintenance – Having the ability to vary the velocity and torque of an electric motor can alleviate the wear and tear or the deterioration on the motor and the machine driven by the motor, over a long period of 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.
• Easy to Select – Simply choose your power rating, select your voltage and current and away you go. With limited options actually needed, the ABB low voltage drive selection table on pages 4 and 5 should help you make your choice.
• Easy to purchase – Low voltage ABB drives are now readily available, off-the-shelf, from Galco Industrial Electronics.
• Easy to install – Options for both wall-mounted and cabinet-mounted installation.
• Easy to commission – ABB has developed some of the most advanced control panels in the world. The ABB control panels feature simple, plain-language instructions which can be accessed via very simple soft buttons. This combination, together with a series of Help menus, provides quick and effective access to all parameters needed to make the drive operational. Programming of the most basic low voltage ABB drive uses simple DIP switches, as no parameters are needed.
• Easy to use – Once installed and commissioned, ABB drives are incredibly easy to use. The same control panel allows instant adjustments to speed or other more advanced parameters.
