Who’s keeping an eye on things?
When it comes to your variable speed drives, everything might look okay from the outside, but who is keeping an eye on what’s going on internally? Or is that just another job you never have time to do? APDS are here to help and can design a plant maintenance programme to suit your exact needs…
ABB ACQ580 Training – It’s good to be back!
Richard Hall, our Strategic Relationship Manager was pleased to be back in our training suite running face to face courses this week. Richard explains, “We have run a number of online sessions over the past 15 months, but nothing beats hands-on training to really get to know and understand the drive technology.
Thank HVAC for APDS!
When a Schneider VSD for an AHU in an area heavily used by the public failed on a hot Thursday afternoon, who did the International company call for a solution – APDS Ltd.
Preventive Maintenance? “No thanks!”
Amazingly “no thanks” is a common response when proposing Preventive Maintenance (PM) kits in line with the manufacturers recommendations. The previous reliability of the drives is often used as the justification for not investing in the PM work.
Variable Speed Drive workshop repairs!
Do you have your ABB VSD’s repaired in a workshop? Does your current repairer carry out the work to ABB’s standards? In our experience if the repair work is not carried out by ABB directly or an ABB approved drives service Value Provider, the answer to this question is no.
