Latest News from ABB Low Voltage Products & Systems
2010-02-17: ABB leaps into the market leadership position by releasing its redesigned CT-D range of 35mm DIN rail mounting time delay relays. Using recently added manufacturing technology, it is now possible to offer 5 A DPDT output relay contacts in an ultra slim 17.5mm wide package. The multifunction, multirange, universal voltage CT-MFD, can replace a full shelf of individual function timers. Let the ABB application engineers apply LEAN Control Engineering to your next control panel design; reducing panel size, component inventory, and saving $$$ . . . Read More
2010-02-17: New universal design allows one part number to protect 1 to 1200 Hp, 200 to 480 VAC, 3 phase motors, compressors, and pumps against: phase loss & reversal, over, under & unbalanced voltages. Every shop responsible for maintenance of 3 phase equipment should have this product on the shelf. One part number replaces all the popular competitive plug-in 3 phase line monitors and improves the protection provided. In Stock, fast positive setup, reduces motor maintenance cost. . . . . .

2010-02-16: ABB's AF contactors use 30% less panel space because of their ability to close couple with overloads, disconnects and breakers. Their magnet on top design allows contact inspection and maintenance without removing the power cables. This makes periodic maintenance as much as 50% faster, lowering operating costs. Wide AC/DC coil operating voltage reduces inventory and eliminates contact chatter caused by brown-outs. Optimizing the mechanical & electrical design plus lowering the maintenance cost, created a new generation of coordinated, close-coupled low voltage control products: the A-line system . . .

2010-02-16: ABB’s Compact range of panel switches, lamps, pushbuttons, E-stops and enclosures are now approved for the IP69K high-pressure, high-temperature washdowns. This rating provides waterproofing protection that exceeds NEMA 4X rating. Superior IP69K protection provides all the benefits of high pressure, high temperature washing: faster more complete sanitary cleaning with reduced waste. Required in many sanitary process markets including food, beverage, dairy, pharmaceutical, and petrochemical, ABB is your source for IP69K rated Compact pilot devices: panel lamps, selector switches, pushbuttons and emergency stop switches . . .

2010-02-12: The PRS softstarter, with internal bypass, reduces motor and drive train stress and associated maintenance costs while increasing OEM equipment reliability. The PSR line of smaller, cost-effective, 3 to 105A, OEM softstarters can be close-coupled with an MS manual motor starter to create a superior OEM starting solution. The PSR soft-starts and soft-stops the motor, and the manual motor starter provides a disconnect switch and branch circuit protection. If your starter does not provide these benefits, it is time to upgrade. Select the PSR family of softstarters for your next motor starting application to increase equipment reliability and save maintenance $$$ . . . Read More
2009-12-11: Power interruptions caused by storms are common. When power lines are knocked down typically one line is disconnected before the others. This means phase loss (single phasing) and motor failures for unprotected 3 phase motors. The HLMU Series of 3 phase line monitors provides a cost effective solution to this problem, and many more. . . . Read More
2009-12-11: ABB's economical power supply range is now approved to for UL Class 1 div. II hazardous areas. This new lower cost range of power supplies offers the same high ambient temperature ratings that separate ABB from the competition. The CP-E covers from 18 to 480W at 5,12,24 & 48VDC. They include adjustable output voltage, status relay, universal input and ambient temperature to 70ºC. . . read more
