The water industry section of our drives business has been a very

strong area of growth. To accommodate this there has been some

reorganisation within MKE Drive Systems. Steve Bootes, who has been

the motive force behind the drives business for the past nine years, is

now focusing specifically on managing Drives Water; Steve was

covered in the “Staff Focus” section, issue 3, of this newsletter (all

previous news letters can be down loaded from www.mke.co.uk/news/).

Luke Archer is now responsible for managing all other aspects of

Drives & Controls that are not water industry related; for those of you

that do not already know him, Luke is introduced in the “Staff Focus”

section of this newsletter on page 3.

Welcome to the fifth issue of our newsletter.

Firstly we would like to wish all our customers a slightly belated happy

and prosperous new year.

As we head in to the new year we are pleased to be able to share good

news. With your continuing support MKE Drive Systems have just

completed the best year so far in respect to our ABB Drives

partnership. In line with our continuing growth we have recruited an

additional two members of staff, with plans for a third, these will be

introduced in due course via our staff focus section.

MKE Drive Systems beat 2016 targets

Since the introduction of the first ACS880 industrial drives

during 2014 we have been actively encouraging our customers

to consider the ACS880 as the way forward.

From the end of 2016 the following variants of the ACS800

industrial drives have all been moved to the “Classic” stage of

their life cycle.

• 01 wall mounted

• 02 floor standing

• 04 moduls

• 07 cabinet built

• Multidrives & multidrive modules

This means ABB are no longer accepting further orders for these models. Full service and spares

support is available during the classic phase of their life cycle but as they move through the “Limited”

and “Obsolete” phases the availability will reduce and lead times are likely to extend. For anybody who

is unsure which model the ACS800 is, they have operator keypads as shown on the top right of this

page.

If you have any of the above variants of ACS800 drives installed at your site, and wish to develop an

upgrade plan, MKE are happy to visit your site and talk through the options available.

ACS800 regenerative and low-harmonic drives (ACS800-11/14/17/31/34/37) will be available without changes until further notice.

Complete life cycle services

To ensure the availability of complete life cycle ser-

vices drives must be in the active or classic phase.

Limited life cycle services

Caution! Drives entering the limited or obsolete

phases have limited repair and service options. To

avoid this possibility drives should be kept in the

active or classic phases.

There are some other ABB drives which have also moved to classic phase or are planned to this year:

• ACS850 (frame E0-G), classic from end of 2016.

• ACS850 (frame A-D) last order to ABB September 2017, deliveries by end of November 2017.

• ACSM1 (frame E0-G) last orders to ABB March 2017, deliveries by end June 2017.

• ACSM1 (frame A-D) last orders to ABB September 2017, delivery by end of November 2017.

Staff focus

In September 2016 Luke Archer took the role of Drives and Controls manager within MKE. Luke has a long history with MKE, his first experience was while still of school age, he completed his as work experience within the MKE Detling workshop.

Luke then joined MKE as an apprentice in 2004. During his apprenticeship Luke had block release time at Loughborough Collage and gained hands on experience in the MKE Detling workshop. While in the workshop he learned the skills required to repair and rewind electric motors, also repair small pumps and gearboxes. As well as the workshop based training Luke was introduced to a large variety of site repair and service work, regularly involved in bearing

replacements, DC brush maintenance, and motor changes. Alongside the core skills involved Luke also became proficient in laser alignment and fan balancing. In 2007 Luke transferred across to the Drives department at Sittingbourne where he completed his apprenticeship and furthered his education with attendance at Mid Kent Collage. Within the Drives department Luke gained additional experience in the areas of panel building, installation of new panels, retrofitting drive systems within existing controls, and fault finding within existing control systems. As his experience and capabilities grew Luke was involved in larger installations and was soon supervising his own projects and installation teams. Luke says, “Starting with motor repairs has given me a good understanding of electric motors which has helped me with some tricky fault finding jobs over the years. I soon developed a keen interest in motor control systems and have enjoyed the challenges presented by fault finding and working on bespoke applications. The on-going success and expansion of the Drives Department has now given me the opportunity to progress to a management position. The next challenge that I am looking forward to is continuing the expansion, and building on the success, that the Drives Department has experienced over the past years”. MKE's commitment to training apprentices has been mentioned previously in these newsletters. Luke is a prime example of the company's investment in developing the next generation of engineering talent.

ABB WIMES compliant IE3 & IE4 motors

• 0.75 to 1000kW

• IE3 premium and IE4 super premium efficiency

• 2, 4, & 6 poles available

• 230/400V or 400/690V

• Up to 5 years warranty

Low running cost * Low noise level * Low maintenance costs Equates to low cost of ownership


The ideal match for your ABB WIMES specification motor is the ABB ACQ580

water industry specific variable speed drive. This drive follows the ABB

philosophy of everything you require being supplied as standard within the

body. This saves space as there are no ancillary items to be fitted. The integral

RFI filter is class C2 compliant (suitable for 1st environment), the integral choke

is ABB’s patented second generation swinging choke which provides up 25%

less harmonic distortion at partial loads when compared conventional chokes of

equal size. The drive has the additional advantages of built in PID control to

reduce the requirement for external automation equipment, embedded RS485

Modbus for fieldbus control, and specific water industry features such as pump

cleaning to reduce blockages and down time.

The new control panels, fitted to the ACQ580 drives, have

additional user functionality with improvements in ease of

use. As always the information displayed is changeable by

the end user but now multiple screens can be created

showing information in numeric format, bar graph, trends, or even dial gauges.

Connection of drive software tools is now via a USB socket at the bottom of the

keypad. The USB protocol removes the need to worry about communication settings

and a standard micro USB cable is all that is required. A further bonus with the USB

connection on the operator keypad is no need for access in to control enclosures. If

the operator keypad is fitted to the enclosure door connecting the drive is extremely

easy, plug the USB cable in to the operator keypad and start the ABB Drive

Composer software. And for bonus on top of bonus, there is a free version of the

Drive Composer software that can be downloaded from the ABB website.

The Water Industry Mechanical and Electrical Specification for low voltage AC motors (WIMES 3.03 issue 6), created by The Pump Centre working closely with the countries water utilities, defines the mechanical and electrical requirements for equipment used in the UK water industry. ABB’s new motor range, designed specifically to meet the WIMES specification, offers end users and original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) a wide choice of motor designations and options for use in any motor-driven application in the water sector. ABB’s WIMES compliant motor range is available in cast iron frame sizes from 80 to 450 and aluminium frame sizes from 80 to 180, rated from 0.75 to 1,000 kW. The totally-enclosed fan-cooled motors come in IE3 premium efficiency and IE4 super premium efficiency variants.
