🍋💧 Meet "LEMONS", a 30 kW ABB ABB VSD pump panel, now up and running!

📈 Soft pipe fill in action: the drive doesn't hit the line with full pressure. It ramps the setpoint gently towards 4.0 bar, and the pressure tracks right behind (1.77 bar actual vs 1.81 bar setpoint on screen). No water hammer, no burst pipes and no opening valves slowly by hand.

✅ ABB drive with built-in pressure control, current limiting, dry run protection and pump cleaning
✅ ABB main breaker with a door-mounted rotary handle for quick, safe isolation
✅ Off/Auto/Man selector with run and fault indication
✅ Automatic backup of the drive settings in the keypad for fast recovery or replacement

🤝 Great teamwork again with our partners at Mac Automation

💧⚡ Pump station VSD panel: a complete ABB ABB solution, now up and running!

Three ABB ACQ580 water drives (2 × 22 kW + 1 × 37 kW) control the pumps to a 5.0 bar pressure setpoint, housed in an ABB System pro E enclosure with ABB switchgear.

🔵 Why one manufacturer, from enclosure to drive?

✅ Every component designed to work together
✅ Protection coordinated from the main breaker down to each drive
✅ A clean, consistent build where everything fits as intended
✅ One source for spares, support and technical backup

⚙️ Why ABB drives on pumps?

🎯 Precise pressure and process control: built-in PID matches pump speed to demand
⚡ Adjustable current limits: no start-up spikes and less stress on motors, pumps and supply
🚰 Soft pipe fill: pipes fill and pressurise gradually, with no more opening valves slowly by hand to prevent water hammer and pipe bursts
🏜️ Dry run protection: stops the pump before seals and impellers are damaged
🛡️ Pressure protection: reacts to low inlet or high outlet pressure, protecting the pump and pipework
🧹 Pump cleaning: an automatic cleaning sequence clears debris from the impeller
💡 Lower energy use: pumps only run as fast as the system needs
👀 Door-mounted keypads with run/fault lights let operators check pressure, speed and setpoints without opening the panel.

🤝 Great teamwork with our partners at Mac Automation

⚡💧 Rock-steady 5 bar, nearly 8.6 million litres pumped, and more than double its own energy saved. Meet the ABB ACQ580 👇
This water drive's keypad tells the whole story:

🎯 Pressure: setpoint 5.00 bar, actual 5.00 bar, held by the drive's built-in PID

⚙️ Speed: 39.23 Hz (about 78%) on just 50% torque

💧 Flow: 220 m³/h, with 8594 m³ pumped so far

📊 Efficiency: 7.25 m³ of water moved per kWh

🔌 Energy used: 1242 kWh

💡 Energy saved: 2630 kWh, about 68% less than running direct-on-line

🌍 Around 2.5 tonnes of CO₂ avoided on SA's grid

Thanks to the pump affinity laws, a small drop in speed means a big drop in power. The ACQ580 matches speed to demand instead of running at a fixed 50 Hz, and the pressure never budges.

⚡🚗 304 voltage dips and surges in 282 days, and the paint shop hardly noticed 🎨

Our new white paper tells the story of an ABB PCS100 AVC-40 Active Voltage Conditioner that All Electrical supplied in 2021 and still services for a Tier-1 automotive paint shop right here in Gqeberha 📍

The unit's own event log shows what it did 📊
✅ 93% of all disturbances never took the paint shop outside ±10% of nominal
✅ 169 of 207 dips fully corrected (98% of nominal or better)
✅ 47 deep dips below 70% lifted by 35 points on average
✅ 95 of 97 surges held at 100–101%, including 178 hours of supply above +10% (peaks of 114%)
✅ No batteries, correction in under ½ cycle

💸 In a paint shop, one dropped drive can stop the line. Parts in the booth or oven get re-worked or scrapped, and the line has to be cleared and restarted. This plant sees about 47 deep dips and 42 surges above 110% a year: each one a potential stoppage 🛑

⚡🔧 Motor starting and protection — the right solution for your application ⚡🔧
Every motor needs short-circuit protection, overload protection and a way to switch it. 🔌 The question is how much more you need on top of that. 🤔
🔹 ESSENTIAL ✅ — manual motor starters, AF contactors and overload relays for pumps 🚰, fans 🌀, compressors, HVAC ❄️ and conveyors 📦. Motors up to 560 kW ⚙️, coordination already tested.
🔹 ENHANCED 🛡️ — thermistor 🌡️ and three-phase monitoring relays, safety contactors and 22.5 mm compact starters a PLC can drive directly 🤖.
🔹 ADVANCED 📡 — UMC100.3, PSTX softstarters, Novolink modules and Tmax XT with Ekip M Touch. Full measurement 📊 plus Profibus, Modbus, EtherNet/IP or Profinet straight into your SCADA 💻.
💡 Purchase price is the smallest part of owning a motor — running cost is about a third of the total, and the cost of NOT running is about two thirds. ⏱️💸

🛡️ A DB is only as good as the breakers in it.

The ABB S200 range is built around the details that make a board quicker to wire and safer to work on 👇

✅ IP20 finger-safe terminals
✅ 35 mm² + 10 mm² cylinder-lift twin terminals — busbar into the rear, incoming conductor into the front
✅ Contact position indication on the toggle — you can see ON or OFF, not guess it
✅ Laser-printed markings that resist friction, scratch and solvent — still readable years later
✅ Approvals printed on the dome, visible with the breaker mounted
✅ Complies to IEC/EN 60898-1 and IEC/EN 60947-2 — residential through industrial

Part of the System pro M compact® family, with a full accessory range behind it.

📐 Panel space is the most expensive real estate in a switchroom.

The ABB SACE Emax 2 was built around that problem — and around the fact that every breaker now has to talk to something 👇

✅ E1.2 delivers 1600 A at up to 66 kA in a 210 mm frame (3-pole fixed)

✅ E2.2 through E6.2 share the same height and depth — one mechanical arrangement across the range

✅ Connect via Modbus RTU or Modbus TCP and more

✅ Comms modules mount on the terminal box and can be added at any time

✅ Ekip Touch trip units measure current, voltage, power and energy

✅ Four frames, 630 A to 6300 A, fixed or withdrawable

Most sags last only 32–200 ms — but that's more than enough to trip your drives, contactors and PLCs.

The ABB PCS100 AVC-40 Active Voltage Conditioner rides straight through them 👇

✅ Sag correction in under ½ cycle
✅ Continuous ±10% voltage regulation
✅ Efficiency typically above 98%
✅ No batteries — minimal maintenance
✅ 450 kVA to 3600 kVA

As an ABB Value Provider, we size it for your plant and support it locally. 🇿🇦
