In an age where energy efficiency and cost reduction are paramount, businesses are increasingly seeking innovative ways to curtail energy consumption. A significant yet often overlooked strategy is the adoption of variable speed drives (VSDs) in motor operations. This article delves into the benefits of running a motor slower for longer, with the help of […]
In this article, George Dodwell from ABB tells us about the benefits of the ABB SynRM Motor. So, in the world of efficiency, why wouldn’t you want the most efficient motor in its class? Running cooler with less audible noise and a higher class of energy efficiency why wouldn’t you use SynRM? SynRm motors have […]

The world depends increasingly on data, computing power and connectivity, making data centers mission-critical facilities requiring special attention. ABB provides data centers with reliable, flexible and secure operation. Its solutions ensure continuous […]
When making any purchase, price clearly matters. However, when it comes to variable speed drives (VSDs) and electric motors, as ABB’s David Hughes explains, the price tag does not always reflect what is included with your purchase. There are many factors to consider when engaging a VSD and electric motor supplier. Reliability, efficiency and ease […]
Making sense of the UK’s energy and carbon reduction opportunities The UK operates several different energy and carbon reduction schemes that aim to incentivise reductions in industrial and commercial energy consumption. Some schemes are similar in scope, while others apply only to certain organisations. All of them, when leveraged effectively, can reduce your energy bills […]
From July 2021, the latest Ecodesign Regulation (EU) 2019/1781 applies to low-voltage induction electric motors rated up to 1,000 V AC and, for the first time, to variable speed drives. ABB’s Rich Gee explains the new energy performance requirements. Many projects, particularly those in hazardous environments, can have a long lead time, often taking many […]
Gleaming mixing vessels, vats that shine and preparation benches you could eat off – as a food and beverage manufacturer, you pride yourself on the cleanliness of your operation, says ABB’s Luciano Santos, ABB LV motors food & beverage market manager, UK. But are there any hidden corners that could be harbouring food particles, acting […]
Despite being available for over 50 years, the true energy saving potential of variable speed drives can often be overlooked, especially by a new generation of engineers. As David Hughes, ABB UK’s Managing Director argues, the arrival of net-zero could be the catalyst that increases the uptake of the technology. Recent research reports indicate that […]
When selecting variable speed drives and motors for potentially explosive atmospheres, the manufacturer’s instructions and recommendations must be followed, otherwise explosion protection measures will be compromised. ABB’s Luciano Santos and Andrew Bould share some advice. Throughout the food and beverage sector, variable speed drives (VSDs) and electric motors are renowned for contributing to productivity improvement […]
