DCS800-EP is now available in ratings of 400, 500, and 600 hp.
July 10, 2012–The DCS800-EP Panel Drive is now available up to 600 hp. This adds 400, 500 and 600 hp solutions at 460Vac to the product line’s existing ratings of 5 – 300 hp.
The DCS800-EP includes the DCS800 drive module mounted on a multi-level subpanel, along with standard and optional components such as AC contactor, fuses, and a control transformer. The panel drive meets UL 508A and has a 65 kA short-circuit current rating (SCCR). It was engineered to be a virtual drop-in replacement for the Reliance Electric FlexPak 3000, commonly used in the steel and pipe mill industries, and also for extruders and many other applications. Since ABB’s acquisition of Baldor Electric, which sold the FlexPak 3000 for many years, the DCS800-EP is expected to be even more universally accepted as the FlexPak continues to be in the “legacy” phase of its life cycle. Highlights - 10 to 600 hp at 460Vac/500Vdc; 5 to 150 hp at 230Vac/240Vdc; - Space-efficient multilevel panel - Integral ABB AC contactor - Greatly simplifies the procurement process - Pre-wired, pre-tested solution for smooth start-ups - Easy tool access to all components - Module can be replaced without replacing the entire panel - UL Listed with 65 kA SCCR Suitable for Heavy-Duty Applications All DCS800-EP drives 500hp and below carry a heavy-duty overload rating, allowing 150 percent overload for 60 seconds. The 600hp rating carries a normal-duty rating, with 110 percent overload for 60 seconds. Wide range of options The panel drive can be ordered with an optional circuit breaker and blower motor contactor and overload. It also offers an optional internal line reactor on drives up to 150 hp at 460V. And the drive can be ordered without an AC contactor for those occasions when an existing DC contactor can be reused. ABB components have been used whenever possible, and the panels are built right here in the USA.
