Abb Launches Next-Generation Medium Voltage Drive, Designed to Enhance Industrial Performance and Reliability ABB has launched the ACS8080, its newest medium voltage air-cooled drive. The new drive represents an evolution, building on over 50 years of experience in delivering drives to industrial applications and bringing reliability, performance, and flexibility to the next level due to innovative motor control, versatile design, and digital capabilities. The converter can achieve up to 98% efficiency, targeting optimal performance for the entire drive system. The new motor control technology MP3C pushes efficiency and motor friendliness to the limit, while preserving the dynamic performance and robustness of the predecessor DTC. It also reduces harmonic distortions by around 50% compared to classic control and modulation schemes, thereby extending equipment lifetime and achieving energy savings. Designed for versatility and ease of integration, the new ACS8080 easily adapts to a wide range of applications and industries. The modular and flexible design includes the possibility of utilizing an external transformer and selecting a sine filter option, making it an optimal match not only for new applications, but also for retrofitting existing drive systems or direct online machines. A high degree of flexibility is also possible due to the advanced digital features: the integration of the open software platform, Crealizer, into the ABB drive operating system allows for advanced programming capabilities that enable the rapid development and deployment of innovative application-specific functionalities, reducing reliance on external controllers. The leaner design of the ACS8080 translates into a lower number of components than its predecessors, increasing reliability but also simplifying maintenance and service processes. For this new drive, being reliable also means being able to withstand extreme conditions, and this has been tested through rigorous accelerated lifetime tests carried out in the ABB Drives testing facility in Estonia, simulating 20 years of operations. Enhanced sensing capabilities and a next generation control hardware enable the collection of up to 10 times more diagnostic data for better and faster monitoring solutions. The new ABB Connectivity Edge Gateway allows connectivity whether on premises or to the cloud, making it an optimal fit for many digital needs. The built-in sensing solutions enable Asset Health and Performance Management capabilities, reliability monitoring, and data supported inspection for faster troubleshooting and failure detection. Fully embedded in the new drive are advanced safety and protection systems designed to prevent foreseeable hazardous situations and effectively manage unexpected ones. The new ACS8080 is developed to protect against unauthenticated access, malicious firmware, data breaches, and insecure connectivity allowing customers to benefit from all modern digital capabilities.

ABB Installation Products Introduces First Cable Protection Systems Made from Recycled Fishing Nets ABB Installation Products introduced one of the industry's first cable protection systems made from recycled fishing nets. To help address dangerous marine pollution, ABB Installation Products pioneered cable protection crafted from 50% recycle-based polyamide using primarily recovered fishing nets. A sustainable alternative to conventional plastic-based systems used to protect critical power and data cables, ABB's PMA® EcoGuard™ PA6 RPPA conduit requires less energy and water to produce, reducing 30% of upstream Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions and 50% of net freshwater use. High-performance wire and cable protection is essential to powering electrical systems and production environments safely and reliably. PMA EcoGuard PA6 RPPA conduit, part of ABB's Eco Solutionstm line of innovative and sustainable solutions, complies with a set of key performance indicators defined in ABB's circularity framework and carries an external, third-party verified Lifecycle Assessment (LCA, Type III). Transforming discarded ocean fishing nets into technically advanced cable protection To lower Scope 3 emissions and make this innovation possible, ABB partnered with Envalior, a global leader in sustainable and high-performance engineering materials. ABB leveraged its nearly 50 years of cable and conduit technology and dedicated circularity approach with Envalior's deep materials expertise. Through this collaboration, ABB's PMA EcoGuard cable protection solutions have been engineered for strength, durability, compatibility and recyclability across a range of applications, including machine building, renewable energy, telecommunications and infrastructure. ABB's PMA Eco Guard cable protection products include Envalior's Akulon® RePurposed, a 100% recycled-based polyamide made of fishing nets recovered from coastlines. In addition to benefitting local economies and the environment, the Akulon RePurposed compound is UL2809 ECVP-certified for Ocean-Bound Plastic (OBP) content and employs production processes that result in a 70% lower carbon footprint than similar fossil-based nylon 6 materials. Made of high-grade polymer, ABB's new PMA EcoGuard PA6 cable protection system meets the European Union's (EU) environmental REACH regulations and the EU's RoHS standards for hazardous waste restrictions. For nearly half a century, ABB's PMA solutions have been used to protect data and electrical cables and wires from damage caused by strain, stress and extreme conditions in commercial and industrial applications. Designed for demanding installations, the new line includes three products: PMA® EcoGuardtm PA6 RPPA conduit, a flexible and lightweight corrugated nylon conduit that is UV and weather-resistant; BRND fittings help prevent liquid and dust ingress and are IP66 rated; and compact, one-piece BFHRP conduit holder lends support and adjusts for easy installation and maintenance. PMA cable and conduit solutions are tested, produced and packaged in recyclable materials at ABB's Uster, Switzerland facility and available globally. Annonce • Apr 19
