The introduction of a dedicated ABB drive for HVAC marks a significant milestone in the development of AC drives. Macros for the most common applications are built into the new drive as standard.
Selecting the application takes only seconds. The rest of the start-up is intuitive, with a user interface as simple to use as a mobile phone.
The drive is programmed with several HVAC applications, including supply and return fans, cooling tower fans, booster pumps and condensers. The intelligence within the HVAC control panel means that the user is given direct and understandable instructions in clear text at all times.
Harmonics and RFI emissions are major concerns within many HVAC installations. The ABB drive for HVAC fulfills demanding requirements for electromagnetic compatibility. A patented swinging DC choke cuts harmonics emissions by up to 25 %.
ABB standard drives for HVAC are embedded with commonly used HVAC communication protocols including BACnet MS/TP. BACnet/ IP is available as an option.
