North America – the main players DOMESTIC • GE • GE-Toshiba • Rockwell • Robicon IMPORTED DRIVES • ABB • Siemens • Alstom • Other marginal players (WEG..) This is our perception of the North American Market.
Main Competitors • ASI Robicon • AB Rockwell • GE Toshiba
Robicon • Fighting for time and money • Expressed strategic focus: COG – (Exxon projects) • New HV IGBT module with less parts • New capacitors of “self-healing” film type (developed and used by ABB for 10 years) • We are eagerly waiting for news on who will buy them. Until then – customers are taking a certain risk dealing with them. (Many want to bail out)
ASI Robicon • Main Products: • Baby Harmony and Perfect Harmony • Messages: • Company Under chapter 11 • Availability • ACS 1000 reduces the maintenance required on the drive. There are no components in the power circuit to be changed and maintained. • Robicons Harmony drives requires extensive maintenance work. According to the user manual: • This results in 8 inspections in the first year, taken 8 to 12 hours per shut-down (increased maintenance and lost production output).
ASI Robicon • Reliability and Lifetime cost: Capacitors • ACS 1000 is designed to minimize lifetime cost. There are for example no electrolyte capacitors used in the power circuit of the drive. • Robicon use electrolyte capacitors, which have to be changed all 5 years according to their manual. • By changing the capacitors the core of the drive (inverter) has to be disassembled. This brings a high risk of failure (No burne in after reassembly).
Fuses ASI Robicon • Reliability and Lifetime cost: Fuses / Fuseless • In ABB medium voltage drives are no power fuses to protect the converter. The converters are based on a fuseless design. • In Robicon’s Harmony drives all the power cells are protected with fuses.
ASI Robicon • Ride Through • ACS 1000 offers a ride through of at least 1s due to DTC. In many practical situations a ride through of at least 500ms is required (Example: main bus transfers). • Harmony offers a ride through capability of only 6 cycles. -> see flyer • Common tools • ABB offers a wide range of automation products. For the different product, the same tools are used to monitor and configure. ABB’s medium voltage drives use exactly the same tools as ABB’s low voltage drives. • Robicon is only offering a small range of products with automation technologies. This means that product specific tools and skills are required.
