ACS5000W Water Cooled Drives

Drives (VFD)Medium Voltage AC Drives

Medium voltage drives ensure reliable, safe control of high-power applications, delivering efficient operation and non-stop performance over multiple years.

Overview

Description

The ACS5000W medium voltage drive delivers precise, reliable control for a wide range of high-power applications, including compressors, extruders, pumps, fans, blast furnace blowers, test stands, wind tunnels, and electric‑heating DC systems. It serves many industries, with particular strength in chemical, oil & gas, and power generation thanks to its exceptionally robust design.

Key Benefits

  • High reliability through well-proven design: Availability of your operations is ensured thanks to the simple, fuseless design. A low parts count and proven components contribute to high uptime and the long lifetime of your drive. Reliability is further increased with the drive’s power loss ride-through function so that you are less dependent on network conditions.
  • Increased productivity due to precise process control: Reduce your energy consumption and increase process efficiency with ABBʼs direct torque control (DTC). Drive control is immediate and smooth in any conditions, ensuring optimum output and productivity.
  • Highest level of personal safety: Your people and goods are protected from electric arcs thanks to the advanced safety design of the ACS5000W. Arcs are detected and eliminated very fast, avoiding production stoppages. Certified functional safety features and a DC grounding switch make your systems safe and reliable.
  • Industry-specific solutions for individual needs: Features designed specifically for the oil and gas and power generation industries allow the ACS5000W to adapt perfectly to your application. Choose from a broad range of configurations to drive your standard and high-speed motors and optimize your system costs.
  • Drive robustness ensures high availability: The robust ACS5000W effortlessly drives your high-power applications and controls operations even in harsh environments. Special features such as automatic restart ensure the high availability of your processes.
  • Energy efficiency: Our medium voltage drives run your motors based on the demands of your process rather than running them at full speed and ensure optimized power consumption and process efficiency. In this way you can save energy and reduce CO₂ emissions.
