This means that the transformer can for instance be kept outside the e-room, reducing the amount of heat generated, which in turn can reduce the load on air conditioning systems. External transformer configuration and flexible cooling options reduce energy consumption, leading to a lower total cost of ownership. Enhanced performance and energy saving The ACS8080 is equipped with ABB’s latest and most advanced motor control technology – Model Predictive Pulse Pattern Control (MP3C), ensuring efficient, precise and reliable process control in all industrial applications. This also allows the system to achieve maximum power output while minimising losses, with a converter efficiency of up to 98 percent when operated with an external transformer. ABB’s ACS8080 next-generation medium voltage drives take reliable performance to another level. Designed for almost all industrial applications, it seamlessly integrates to meet your specific needs with unmatched compatibility and flexibility – all in a single drive platform. Maximum reliability for your peace of mind The reliability of ACS8080 provides peace of mind that processes and equipment will operate continuously and without interruption. This is achieved with a highly robust design, using high-quality components. A low parts count reduces potential points of failure, lowering the risk of downtime. Maintenance is also straightforward, with easy front access to the drive’s components for simplified service and parts replacement. In-built condition monitoring provides early malfunction prediction, with fast and effective diagnostics and troubleshooting to ensure that maintenance is carried out when and where it’s needed, while intervention time is kept to a minimum. Unmatched flexibility A modular design ensures the ACS8080 is equipped for the demands of a wide variety of applications and industries. Highly customisable, the system offers various supply-side configurations, and motor-side compatibility for both single- or multi-motor configurations for induction motors, synchronous motors, and permanent magnet motors.
