ACS800 / ACS880 Marine Drive

ABB ACS800/ACS880 Marine Drives are the most widely distributed frequency converters (VFD) on ships. VFDs enable stepless speed control of pumps, fans and compressors — energy savings of 20–40% compared to fixed speed. On diesel-electric ships, ABB drives are the main propulsion converters (Azipod drive). ABB has an estimated 35–40% market share in marine VFDs.
