ULTRA-LOW HARMONIC DRIVES

 

ABB has a wide portfolio of industrial and industry-specific ultra-low harmonic drives (ULH) for HVACR, based on active front end technology, offering multiple benefits to the industry. Besides harmonics, which are the distortion component of reactive power, ULH drives also address the displacement component of reactive power for more efficient and reliable power networks.

IP66 / TYPE 4X PROTECTION FOR VARIABLE SPEED DRIVES

Harsh industrial environments can expose electrical equipment to dust, water, temperature fluctuations, and frequent cleaning. In these conditions, the enclosure is essential for protecting internal components and ensuring reliable operation.

IP ratings indicate how well an enclosure protects against dust and water ingress.

For IP66, the first digit (6 – solids) means the enclosure is completely dust-tight, while the second digit (6 – liquids) indicates protection against powerful water jets. To meet this rating, the enclosure must withstand 100 liters of water per minute at 100 kPa from a distance of 3 meters for at least 3 minutes without harmful ingress.

Choosing the right enclosure rating helps ensure equipment is suited to its environment. Higher levels of ingress protection improve reliability and allow equipment to be installed closer to the application, even in areas exposed to dust, moisture, or washdown conditions.

OPTIMIZED PERFORMANCE FOR HIGH-SPEED COMPRESSORS

<p>Enhance the efficiency of your high-speed application while minimizing the need for output current derating. Save installation space and reduce cabinet size with built-in components such as an input choke, enabling easy integration. As a high-speed drive supplier, ABB provides support from planning and design to end-of-use with an all-compatible drive portfolio.</p>
