The ACS 2000 from ABB is suitable for fan, pump, compressor and other common applications in industries such as cement, minerals and mining, metals, pulp & paper, water, power generation and chemical, oil and gas.
Depending on the preference or the existing installation, the ACS 2000 drive can be used without an input isolation transformer, thereby allowing a direct connection to the line supply (direct-to-line), or it can be connected to an input isolation transformer.
The ACS 2000 has a compact size size and lighter weight compared to a drive requiring a transformer. The drive can be retrofitted to control the speed of standard induction motors via a direct connection to a 6.0 – 6.9 kV line supply.
The drive from ABB includes an Active Front End (AFE), which provides a low harmonic signature meeting the requirements for current and voltage harmonic distortion stipulated in various standards. The AFE enables four-quadrant operation which feeds back braking energy into the line supply, helping decrease energy consumption.
