Medium voltage A drive

ACS 6000,3- 36 Mw, up to 3.3 kv

ACS 6000 – one of the world’s most successful MV multidrives

ABB’s ACS 6000 medium voltage drive provides the optimum  solution for applications where high power and maximum  reliability is required. Since its introduction, the ACS 6000 has  gained an excellent reputation for high quality and reliability. As  a result ABB has worldwide one of the largest installed bases of  medium voltage multidrives incorporating the latest technology

Modular drive for demanding applications 

ABB’s ACS 6000 is a modular drive designed for the most  demanding single-motor or multi-motor applications. The  optimum configuration for each application is reached by  combining the standardized modules resulting in lower  investment costs and a smaller footprint. The ACS 6000 is  available with several different inverter modules in the power range from 3 to 13MVA.

Several motors can be linked to the ACS 6000 via the com- mon DC bus, enabling multi-motor operation with only one  multidrive converter. A multidrive, common DC bus converter principle offers a solution with optimum efficiency.

Fields of application Industries Applications

Marine Main propulsion, thrusters, shaft generators, pumps and compressors 

Metals Rolling mills, coilers, pumps and fans 

Pulp and paper Fans, pumps, refiners and chippers 

Power generation Fans and pumps 

Water Pump applications, fresh water and waste water 

Other applications Test stands, wind tunnels and grid simulators

High efficiency and reliability 

The ACS 6000 uses a power semiconductor known as IGCT  (Integrated Gate Commutated Thyristor), which is an ideal  switch for high-power medium voltage applications. The use  of IGCTs results in low parts count, providing an efficient and  reliable drive. 

High availability 

Maximum reliability and short repair time results in a drive with  high availability.  

Optimized energy flow 

The common DC bus allows several motors to be connected  to the same DC bus, providing an optimized energy flow.  The braking energy generated in one motor can be transferred  to other inverters via the common DC bus without power  consumption from the supply network. Due to the near unity  power factor throughout the whole speed range the energy  efficiency is optimal.

Optimum configuration

The modular design of the ACS 6000 allows the optimum  configuration of any drive system. Each configuration, consisting of well-proven and certified modules, exactly fits the  customer’s requirements.  

Smooth system integration

The ACS 6000 integrates easily into the industrial environment  because it can be optimally configured for single-motor and  multi-motor applications without additional control equipment.  The high power density and compact design and the drive’s  communication abilities minimize the overall installation and  operational costs. The drive can be connected to the network  through one or several transformers depending on power and  harmonics requirements. A transformerless solution is also  available for certain applications.

ACS 6000 for induction and synchronous motors 

Depending on the power rating and the application characteristics, the ACS 6000 can be used with induction and synchronous  motors. 

ACS 6000 for induction motors

Squirrel cage induction motors are the workhorses of the  industry due to their versatility, reliability and simplicity. ABB’s  broad range of medium voltage AC induction motors includes  ribbed cast iron fan cooled motors and modular type welded  frame motors. The ACS 6000 is typically used with induction motors for  applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors,  hoists, mills, crushers and propulsion systems.

ACS 6000 for synchronous motors

Synchronous motors are typically considered for higher power  ratings (e.g. above 8 MW to more than 100 MW). In addition to  their high power capabilities, synchronous motors offer a wide  field weakening range as well as the benefits of high efficiency  and high performance.  The ACS 6000 synchronous drive is ideal for applications which  require dynamic response and high torque, such as rolling mills  and mine hoists and for high power applications, such as marine  propulsion drives. Permanent magnet motors For special applications (e.g. low speed pumps) the ACS 6000  can be used with permanent magnet motors.

Simple and efficient maintenance is an important factor in  lowering operating costs. The modular concept of the  ACS 6000 implies minimal maintenance.

Reliable components

ABB drive technologies, such as IGCT power semiconductors  and the multilevel-fuseless topology, provide a low parts count,  which increases reliability, extends Mean Time Between Failures  (MTBF) and improves availability. 

Easy access

The ACS 6000 is designed to allow easy front access to the  drive’s components.  

Redundant cooling 

The cooling equipment is available with redundant pumps,  which increases availability

Thorough testing ensures proven functionality and performance  and reduces commissioning time.
