Minimise Harmonic Distortion

Ultra-low harmonic drives reduce total harmonic distortion to below 3%, protecting sensitive equipment, improving power quality, and eliminating the need for bulky external filters— ensuring compliance with site standards and reducing overall system costs.

Controlled Motor Start-Up

Soft starters limit inrush current, reducing mechanical and electrical stress on motors and connected systems. This prolongs motor life, minimises voltage dips, and lowers long-term maintenance requirements.

Maximise Energy Efficiency

ABB variable speed drives automatically adjust motor speed based on load conditions, delivering up to 60% energy savings across HVAC, pumping, and industrial processes—supporting emissions targets and cutting operational expenditure.

Enable Predictive Maintenance

Integrated real-time diagnostics, event logs, and remote access via Bluetooth or Ethernet help detect faults early. This enables predictive maintenance and faster troubleshooting, reducing costly unplanned downtime.

Advanced Motor Protection

Built-in features including overload, phase imbalance and stall detection provide intelligent motor protection. ABB’s smart algorithms identify issues early, lowering the risk of motor damage and unplanned outages.

End-to-End Support

Access best-in-class pre- and post-sales support, backed by IPD’s qualified engineering professionals and a national service network. A comprehensive suite of services supports customers throughout the entire product lifecycle — from design and commissioning to maintenance and optimisation.
