Floorspace at the site in Coalville, Leicestershire, has increased from 830 m2 to 1789 m2. The site houses one of 17 ABB-certified workshops. The centre’s load test facilities ensure VSDs are tested under realistic conditions before being returned to a customer.
“Many operators across multiple industries are finding that their variable speed drives are no longer supported by the original vendor. ABB can integrate new variable speed drives and control platforms to these systems, ensuring operators can continue to benefit from their substantial investment in equipment,” says Stuart Melling, business unit manager, ABB Drives UK.
The site extends the scope of the ABB University campus in the UK and, as such, hosts a suite of demonstration equipment to show customers how they maximise the benefit from ABB solutions. It also has the largest VSD training school in the UK.
