Definition
Alternating current
Auxiliary Control Device Adapter
ACS6000 medium voltage AC drive
Air Cooling Unit
Advant Fieldbus 100
Communications interface between the I/O stations and
the Advant Controllers
Analog input
The application and motor controller (AMC) is a digital
signal processor and the heart of the drive
control system.
Application and Motor Controller Operating System
American National Standards Institute
Analog Output
Auxiliary Pump Unit
Active Rectifier Unit
The ARU rectifies the voltage of the supply network to the
DC voltage and maintains the DC-link voltage at a
constant level irrespective of changes in the supply
network. The unit is designed as a self-commutated, 3-
level voltage source inverter consisting of three identical
phase modules. The unit allows regenerative braking.
Anti Saturation Equipment
ABB's electric propulsion system for ships
Braking Chopper Unit
Break Over Diode.
Bods protect semiconductors such as thyristors and
diodes against transient voltages.
Capacitor Bank Unit
Converter Control Board
Serves as the basic user interface for operating and
monitoring the drive when the local operating mode has
been selected, also known as assistant control panel.
