June 13, 2010 - Some time ago, ABB introduced the power extension with the ACS800-U1 series that allowed the R6 frame size to extend up to 200 HP, as a wall-mounted product. Now, ABB is offering these same power ratings in a cabinet version in the ACS800-U7 and ACS800-07.
The R6 frame size fully covers the product range previously offered in the R7, so ABB will be phasing out the R7 sizes from the standard product line.The R6 frame-size cabinet is 16 inches narrower than R7 frame size, so the size reduction is 50% -- from 32.7 inches to 16.9.”
This enables end users to fit the cabinet in smaller floor spaces – and makes it easy for customers to save in installations costs.ABB Inc., Automation Technologies, Automation Products, Low-Voltage Drives, is the world's largest manufacturer of electric motors and drives.
