Inverter Drive Systems Ltd

IDS are ABB Inverter specialists. We specify, install, commission, repair, service and hire variable speed drives.

In this video, IDS General Manager, Matt Handley, show us the process of backing up an ABB Variable Speed Drive, easy when you know how!
Backing up an ABB Variable Speed Drive
In this video IDS' Blaise Ford demonstrates how to activate the Energy Optimiser function on the ABB ACS480 variable speed drive. Watch what happens when he turns this energy saving mode on... free energy savings!
ABB Energy Optimiser - Flux Optimisation
In this video, Blaise Ford, MD of IDS demonstrates how to reduce noise with an inverter. Using our demo rig which consists of an ACS480 inverter, an electric motor and a fan, Blaise starts by running the fan at full speed, 50 Hertz and then slows it down to demonstrate how much the noise generated by the fan is reduced.

How inverters (variable speed drives) save energy. In this video IDS' MD, Blaise Ford demonstrates how an inverter technology can be used to save energy.
How Inverters Save Energy
In this video we see how an ABB SynRM and variable speed drive package has lowered the energy use and reduced noise levels of a plastic extrusion line.

ABB's Liam Blackshaw gives a thorough introduction to inverters (variable speed drives)
An Introduction to Variable Speed Drives Final edit
In this video, ABB’s Area Sales Manager, Stuart Ruskin demonstrates PID control using our demo rig. The demo rig consists of an inverter, a motor, a fan and a damper. In this demonstration, the damper will be used to control the flow in this instance air, but the demonstration is just as applicable to water.

In this video, IDS engineer, Blaise Ford demonstrates the ABB Inverter Flux Optimisation feature.
ABB Inverter Flux Optimisation
Demonstrating PID Control using an ABB Inverter. Usually, in a process we are trying to keep a valuable constant, for example; level, flow, temperature or as in our case, the pressure. Watch how the ABB Inverter maintains the pressure to the set point. To find out more about PID Control using an inverter or to discover the many other features of the ABB range of inverters, call IDS on 0115 944 1036 or email sales@inverterdrivesystems.com
PID Control Using Inverters
In the past, tests with inverter control have shown the screws demonstrate a constant kWh/m³ over a wide speed range and flows. This was thought to mean that varying the speed of a screw would have little benefit to power consumed. Compare this to a (low static head) centrifugal pump application where a 20% reduction in speed (and flow) leads to a 50% saving in power consumed. It is not surprising, given this data, that inverter control of centrifugal pumps has been a remarkable success.
Who Says Inverters Don’t save Energy on Archimedes’ Screws?

NEW ABB ACH580 Drive Training. All the new functions and features are all very well, but how exactly will it work on your applications? In this launch training session, we will share with you the new features, the intelligent graphical keypad, HVAC product positioning as well as answering your specific questions. The 3-hour launch training session is taking place at our centrally located facility in Ilkeston, Derbyshire on Tuesday 22nd November. The course costs just £35 +vat per person. We have HVAC specialists from ABB to conduct the training and our own sales engineers on hand to assist with specifics. We have two sessions running on the day a morning and afternoon session and of course refreshments and a buffet lunch will be provided. To register your interest please email sales@inverterdrivesystems.com or call 0115 9441036.
