Comfort. It’s something we take for granted in the buildings we live and work in. But comfort requires efficient systems controlling heating, ventilation and air conditioning to ensure the air we breathe is pure and the temperature is comfortable. We also need to ensure air quality in the most energy-efficient and cost-effective way – as well as safety – in both normal and mission-critical situations.

For half a century, ABB has been leading the way in optimizing HVAC systems using drive control to ensure that you can take comfort for granted. The ACH480 series of variable frequency drives provides the quality, reliability, and energy savings you expect, in a compact package. They are easy to use and safe to maintain. All you need to do is to set the drive up, and then focus on what counts.

• Power range 0.75 to 22 kW
• Voltage range 380 to 480 V
• IP20 enclosure class
• Cabinet-optimized design - uniform enclosure height and depth in all power sizes, DIN-rail and screw mounting, zero side clearance
• HVAC-specific features integrated as standard
• Supports a wide range of communication protocols like Modbus, BACnet and I/O options
• Intuitive control panel with optional Bluetooth® capability
• Based on ABB's all-compatible drive platform

Our new elevator drive is a reliable choice for all gearless and geared low- and mid-rise elevators with or without a machine room. The seamless operation with all types of motors helps you build elevators that provide the quietest, most efficient and most comfortable passenger experience without vibration and jerks. Selecting a regenerative drive option lets you reduce the elevator's carbon footprint and operating costs.

Smoothness. Quietness. Flexibility. Safety. You know that everything counts when selecting elevator control.

• The widest free memory allocation for programming your own elevator functionality.
• Energy efficient operation. Low power consumption helps you fulfill the latest energy efficiency classifications. Regenerative drive options recycle braking energy to reduce carbon footprint and operating costs.
• Quiet motor operation. Runs all types of synchronous and asynchronous motors quietly without vibration and jerks.
• Less contactors. The drives come standard with an integrated safe torque off (SIL 3) safety function that makes possible to eliminate contactors on the motor side (TÜV certificate pending).
• Fast encoder offset autotuning without disconnecting the mechanics and ropes saves installation time.
• Commissioning of the drive during new installs and modernization of old elevators is made fast and easy by transferring the drive's software and settings from a removable memory unit.

Isolated control circuitry, a host of user facilities and extremely linear control loop makes the 512C series 2-quadrant DC drives ideal for single motor or multi-drive low power applications.

Designed for use on single phase supplies, the 512C is suitable for controlling permanent magnet or field wound DC motors in speed or torque control. It can be used “open loop” with armature voltage feedback or with DC tacho feedback for enhanced regulation and speed range. Chassis mount IP00 rated, with output ratings up to 32A/10HP, typical applications include centrifugal fans and pumps, extruders and mixers, plus small paper converting machines.
