Inverter driven test rigs simulate actual conditions. Test rigs often use variable speed drives and motors to closely simulate real life conditions to allow for testing of a variety of components and assemblies during all stages of product development and manufacture. Many are used in the automotive and aerospace industries, testing cars, motorcycles, […]
ABB regenerative drives give big payback on downhill conveyors. Using ABB regenerative AC drives fed 520,000 kW of power back into the mains and significantly reduced maintenance costs by improved control on two limestone conveyors used in cement making. Continuous raw material flow is important in cement making and when processing […]
ABB regenerative drives save energy and reduce panel size. An ABB ACS800 regenerative drive offers significant energy savings compared with other braking methods such as mechanical and resistor braking, as energy is fed back to the AC line network. To stop quickly stop a motor fitted with an inverter drive, dynamic […]
Smart apps improve tracking, controlling and analysing of ABB Drives. Mobile devices are seen everywhere these days, and in 2014 more than a billion smartphones were sold globally: a growth of around 28% from 2013. Smart phones and tablets are also making their way into commercial and manufacturing environments including automation, to […]
New cable mounting accessories simplify ABB inverter drive installation ABB Low Voltage Drives have introduced a new range of cabling accessories for their low voltage variable speed drives to make mounting and installation of the drives more convenient and cost-effective. Wall mounting up to 250 kW It means wall mounted drives are […]
