Motor & drive packages

As one of the only companies manufacturing both variable-speed drives (VSDs) and low voltage AC motors, ABB is able to offer customers perfectly designed, tested and approved matched pairs.

These include SynRM packages for industry, water and machinery as well as those designed for applications such as cooling towers, deck winches and ATEX compliant use in hazardous areas.There is also a selection of IE2 and VSD packages that comply with the new European Minimum Energy Performance Standard (EU MEPS) introduced on January 1 2015.

Packages can extend beyond matching a motor and a drive. Automation packages with the drives containing IEC61131 programming can be paired with PLCs, HMIs and motion controllers and servo systems. Other components, most of which are featured within the guide, form part of a drive train including switches and fusegear, bearings, couplings and gearboxes.

The guide features tools such as an Energy Toolkit App that estimates energy, CO2 and money savings based on inputting a customer’s existing motor and drive arrangement. For a free printed copy of the guide email [email protected].
