ABB upgrades its NEMA range to Process Performance Motors
ABB's Process Performance range is designed for reliability and high efficiency, featuring improved cooling and is now available in a motor range designed to NEMA and CSA standards (NEMA MG-1-1988, IEEE 112-1996, CSA file C22.2 no 100.95), meeting the needs of exporting OEMs targeting process industries in countries operating to 
Drives & Controls - Delivering energy understanding to the top table
Speak of deploying widespread AC inverter technology, or calculating cube law considerations for a plant's fans and pumps and the average finance director would keel over. However, as GAMBICA's variable speed drives group argues, until such topics are understood at the top table, industry will fail to maximise potential energy
ABB general machinery drive range extended to 22 kW
The power range of the ABB general machinery drive has been extended to 22 kW. The drive is targeted at applications primarily found in food and beverage, material handling, textile, printing, rubber and plastic, as well as woodworking.
New drive offers five year guarantee
IMO's new Jaguar VXR drive offers users the operating security of a unique five year guarantee; a benefit now offered across the full range of IMO Jaguar drives. The Jaguar VXR is available in 5 frame sizes from O.37kW to 15kW; it is equally suited to demanding lift or hoisting
ABB introduces latest Drives & Motors Catalogue
ABB's new Drives & Motors Catalogue provides technical details of ABB's range of low voltage AC drives from 0.18 to 2,800 kW and motors from 0.06 to 710 kW. It also presents ABB's range of DC and medium voltage AC drives. Easy-to-use tables give ordering data, dimensions, options and electrical details
Drives & Controls - Saving energy through drive system efficiency
Many pump and fan systems are designed with safety margins which can make them grossly oversized. This in turn leads to inefficient use of energy, but the efficiency can be vastly improved with the use of variable speed drives
New benchmark for large drives
Silverteam will be using the Drives & Controls show to launch the high power versions, 160kW to 400kW, of the Hitachi SJ700 variable speed drive - small and medium sized version having been introduced in 2007.
Preventive maintenance kits from ABB simplify lifecycle management
ABB preventive maintenance kits for ABB industrial drives contain all the genuine spare parts needed to service drives at planned intervals in order to extend their service lives and minimise any risk of product failure and downtime. Kits are available for the ACS600 and ACS800 series of drives.
