ABB the leading power and automation technology group launches the new ACS800-38 low harmonic drive at ABB’s Automation and Power World Australia 2012 event being held on the Gold Coast.

ABB drives are designed to meet the requirements of different users, processes, businesses and environmental needs. The technology of the ACS800-38 drive eliminates harmonic noise.

Designed for harsh and remote outdoor conditions; it can be easily transported and installed outdoors where no fixed facilities are present.

The ACS800-38 features include a robust double layer thermal lockable cabinet designed to withstand temperatures up to 55 degrees. The drive allows easy on-site installation and can be simply integrated with programmable logic controllers’ and HMI touch screen to meet customer application needs. The drive’s low maintenance and durability helps ensure a long and reliable operational life.

ABB’s self contained Cothex cooling system, a closed air cooling method that does not circulate external air inside the drive, makes optimal cooling operation in the cabinet possible without any need for outside air. This eliminates the risk for corrosive gases or sand to enter the interior parts of the cabinet, reducing maintenance costs and unplanned downtime.
