TRANSCRIPT
MKE Drive Systems are proud to announce their success in winning
this tender to supply new drive systems to LondonWaste.
The new drive systems are to power the incinerator booster fan motors.
These fans are currently powered by old ABB SAMI drives. The old
SAMI drives have served well since the site was put in to service but
have now come to the end of their serviceable life. While new drive
systems are being installed, full advantage will be taken of modern
technology; the new ABB ACS880 systems will be the regenerative
variants. This gives two advantages: The active front end technology
allows the drive system to feed power back on to the supply when
slowing fans down (previously this was dissipated via braking
resistors), also the fully controlled active front end provides low
harmonic operation; with drive systems at this power harmonic
disturbance must be taken seriously. For more information on harmonics please paste the following link in to your web browser to see
MKE’s Luke Archer explaining harmonics on behalf of ABB.

Welcome to the fourth issue of our newsletter.
Each autumn MKE hold an annual charity ball, details of this event and
the money raised are on page 4.
We also have another start up sheet for you, this time the ACS355
machinery drive. If you have missed any of the previous start up
sheets, all previous issues of the news letter are available for download

The ABB 580 range of drives are now fully available. This range started with the general purpose
ACS580 and has now been complimented with siblings in the form of the water industry specific
ACQ580 and the HVAC industry specific ACH580.
If you are already familiar with the ACS880 industrial drive you will recognise the keypad layout straight
away. The ABB aim, with the new drive ranges, is to build user familiarity regardless of which drive you
are using; if drives have common parameters they will have the same parameter number and will be
accessed in the same way.
• All three drives in the 580 range are available in wall mountable IP21 and IP55 bodies up 250kW.
• All three drives have, as standard, a built-in second generation swinging choke for reduced harmonic
disturbance. • Safe torque off (STO), according to EN/IEC 61800-5-2, SIL 3, PL e
• There is a free of charge PC based drive configuration tool which can be downloaded from the ABB
web site.

In recent years ABB operator control panels have become recognised as intuitive
user friendly interfaces. The new ACX-AP-x Assistant control panels, fitted to the
580 range of drives, have been developed to add additional user functionality with
further improvements in ease of use. As always the information displayed is
changeable by the end user, up to three items can be displayed at one time, but now
multiple screens can be created. These screens can show information in numeric
format, bar graph, trends, or even dial gauges.
If you prefer to make drive settings via the software tools the connection is now via a
USB socket which can be seen at the bottom of the accompanying image. 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 panel is no need for access in to control enclosures. Previously
enclosures need to be opened, which usually meant isolation was required. If the
operator keypad is fitted to the enclosure door connecting the drive is extremely easy, plug the USB cable
in to the operators keypad and start the Drive Composer software.

Staff focus
Following on in the series of introductions we have been
including in each issue of Driving Forward this may be a face
already familiar to many of you.
Russel Kimpton joined the MKE Drive Systems team just over nine years ago during July 2007. At that time the department
was just the five man nucleus of what has now grown four fold
and is currently experiencing one of it’s most successful years to
date.
Russel brought with him a wealth of electrical engineering,
drives, and automation experience gained during
over 30 years of industrial
experience.
Starting out on the tools
working for various
companies with rolls such
as production electrician,
panel builder, maintenance
electrician, electrical team
leader, Russel’s career has
progressed through the
machine building industry,
with time in a technical
office roll, through to project
engineering in an FMCG
environment, and project
management in the utilities
industry.
Russel says “coming from a background within large companies,
sometimes working internationally, it has been a very good experience to be part of the driving force that has grown the
MKE Drives Systems Business through such a successful
growth period”.

MKE Autumn Charity Ball

MKE held it’s 9th autumn charity ball on Saturday
8th October. This annual black tie event is always
in aid of charity, this years beneficiary being the
Heart of Kent Hospice. The generosity of guests
from multiple companies, along with their MKE
hosts, generated a donation of £1,890 this year for
Heart of Kent Hospice.
Over the years the MKE Autumn Charity Ball has
supported several charities, generally raising in the
region of £2,000 per year.
Previous charities supported by the event are:
• Demelza hospice care for children (5 years) • Oliver Fisher special care baby trust (2 years) • The Air Ambulance Service (1 year)
“The generosity of guests
from multiple companies,
along with their MKE hosts,
generated a donation of
£1,890 this year for
Heart of Kent Hospice”.
As always the venue was packed with guests and
hosts all sporting their best formal dress. The main
events of the evening were the three course meal,
dancing to the live band, and of course the
obligatory charity raffle. Aside from these there
were quieter areas and plenty of time to catch up
on things and socialise on an evening where work
was not on the agenda.
