APDS Products - Drives

Users of variable speed drives can for the first time source repairs, maintenance and hire services as well as new drives from one source across the UK, thanks to a new support package from APDS Limited, an ABB drives Alliance member.

Our DrivesAdvantage package aims to offer users the most cost-effective drive operation by servicing existing drive installations of all makes

With a full range of services as well as replacement drives, we can offer the user the best advice for each situation. The six packages included in DrivesAdvantage give operators the support they need at every stage of the drive’s life cycle

Ideal for Schools, Councils, Trusts, any one on a tight capital budget!

Following a energy survey APDS will supply and install inverters. Then APDS are paid half of the saved energy costs on a monthly basis producing savings for all parties.

ABB component drives are designed for machine building. It is a component that is bought, together with other components from a logistical distributor. The drive is stocked, and the number of options and variants is optimized for logistical distribution

ACS310 products from 0.37 to 22 kW / 0.5 to 30 hp
supply voltage 200 to 480 V

An extension to the ABB standard drives family is a series of drives specifically designed for variable torque applications such as pumps and fans. The specific design includes a powerful set of features which benefit pump and fan applications including built-in PID controllers and PFC (pump and fan control). These features, combined with pre-programmed application macros, an intuitive user interface and several assistant screens, speed up the installation, parameter setting and commissioning of the drive.commissioning, maintenance and common spare parts.

Available in IP20

ACS350 and ACS355 products
from 0.37 to 22 kW / 0.5 to 30 hp
supply voltage 200 - 480 V

Based on the ACS350 the ACS355 is the next generation machinery drive ABB general machinery drives are designed for the machine building sector. In serial type manufacturing the consumed time per unit is critical. The drive is designed to be the fastest drive in terms of installation, setting parameters and commissioning. The basic product has been made as user-friendly as possible, yet providing high intelligence. The drive offers diverse functionality to cater for the most demanding needs.
With built in Safe Torque Off feature this drives is aimed at the machine builder

Avilable in IP 20 or IP66

The ABB standard drive can be used in a wide range of industries. Typical applications include pump, fan and constant torque use, such as conveyors. The ABB standard drive is ideal in those situations where there is a need for simplicity to install, commission and use and where customization or special product engineering is not required.

Available in IP 21 or IP 54

ACH550 drives for HVAC applications
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 drive as standard. The drive is programmed with several HVAC applications, including supply and return fans, cooling tower fans, booster pumps and condensers.

Available in IP21 or IP54

Industrial drives
ABB industrial drives are designed for industrial applications, and especially for applications in process industries such as the pulp & paper, metals, mining, cement, power, chemical, and oil & gas.

ABB industrial drives are available both as complete AC drives and as modules to meet the requirements of the users, OEMs and system integrators. These drives are highly flexible AC drives that can be configured to meet the precise needs of industrial applications, and hence order-based configuration is an integral part of the offering.

Available in IP 21 or IP54

A selection of drives from 22 to 750kW available on same day delivery.
Drives can be hired to overcome emergency sitiuations or for development and proving of system upgrades.
