ACS 5000 – making a difference The evolution of ABB’s ACS drives platform for motors up to 6.9 kV has led to a drive with unbeatable efficiency, reliability and footprint. Leading the way As the originator of AC drives technology, ABB has over 35 years of application know-how in all industrial sectors. ABB knowns how to convert customer requirements into reliable world-class products, which fulfill customer's future needs. The ACS 5000, the latest member of the world’s most successful drives family, confirms ABB’s market leadership. Revolution by evolution The ACS 5000 is based on ABB’s renowned ACS platform, that has been used in thousands of drives worldwide.

The combination of well- proven building blocks from existing ABB medium voltage drive products with the Voltage Source Inverter Multilevel-Fuseless (VSI-MF) topology, has revolutionized the drives industry – it simplifies the drive, increases its reliability and efficiency and results in the most application-friendly high- power drive available on the market. The ACS 5000 was developed to specifically meet the requirements of the growing number of applications driven by standard motors up to 6.9 kV. ABB ACS 5000 - 3 Benefits:

• Highest reliability due to lowest parts count • Highest system efficiency due to multilevel- fuseless topology, IGCTs and DTC • Smallest footprint due to highest power density • Optimal network friendliness due to 36-pulse configuration • Lowest cost of ownership due to high efficiency and simplified installation, commissioning and maintenance • Ultimate control performance due to DTC • Suitable for standard motors Industries Applications Cement, Mining and Minerals Grinding mills, conveyors, fans and pumps Compressors, extruders and pumps Blast furnace blowers, fans and pumps Fans and pumps Gas turbine starters, ID/FD fans and pumps Pumps Test stands and wind tunnels Chemical, Oil and Gas Metals Pulp and Paper Power Generation Water Other Applications

ACS 5000 – Highest performance and lowest cost of ownership ABB engineers developed a drive that provides advantages over other medium voltage drives in reliability, efficiency and power density - features that have a direct impact on the customer’s cost of ownership. Highest reliability and efficiency Thanks to the combination of well-proven components and an innovative topology, the ACS 5000 has a reliability and efficiency unmatched on the market. IGCT semiconductors T he ACS 5000 uses an advanced and proven power semiconductor switching device known as IGCT. It combines the best of two traditional semiconductor technologies:

the fast switching of the IGBT/IEGT with the proven reliability and low losses of the GTO. Fuseless The converter design does not require any medium voltage power fuses, which are known to be unreliable, costly and subject to aging. Instead of fuses the ACS 5000 uses IGCTs/thyristors, which provide much faster and more reliable protection for the power components. The ACS 5000 protection scheme responds in less than 25 µsec, about two hundred times faster than fuses. The use of IGCTs results in a low parts count, providing an intrinsically less complex, more efficient and reliable drive.

Long-life DC-link capacitors Advanced, self-healing, environmental friendly foil capacitors, designed for a long lifetime, are used in the DC-link. ABB has clearly distinguished itself with this technology compared to unreliable and maintenance- intensive designs based on electrolytic DC-link capacitors.
