Halcyon Drives Ltd

ABB Drives

For AC variable speed inverter drives, ABB are the number one supplier, and their product range is wider than any other. ABB Drives are synonymous with reliability, flexibility, simplicity and ingenuity.

Halcyon Drives are a leading ABB distributor, stocking ACS50, ACS55, ACS150, ACS350, ACS550, ACH550 and ACS800 models ranging from 0.18kW to 250kW. We can offer customers completely packaged inverter driver solutions, experienced as we are in application design, programming, repairing and commissioning of control systems.

In addition, we are well-versed in the majority of other inverter drives, servo drive applications, DC drive systems and power transmission requirements.

ABB Motors

To cater for every customer's needs, we have three different ranges of ABB softstarters.

The PSR is the most compact of the three, allowing the design of compact starting equipments. Its built-in by-pass makes connection easier and reduces the energy loss, and the set-up is very easy due to there only being three potentiometers.

For efficiency, we have the PSE, which has built-in electronic overload and torque control for motor protection and excellent pump control – a first for compact softstarters.

The most advanced is the PST(B), with advanced motor, softstarter and load protections for trouble free operation and pre-warnings to telegraph problems early and avoid excessive downtime.

Control Systems

We can build control systems for a variety of industrial process control and automation projects, with control panels ranging from simple operator consoles to complex PLC controlled networked systems.

We select all of our components from international main source suppliers with stringent design and manufacture accreditations, and our automation solutions meet the design, control and safety criteria of European harmonised standards and technical specifications. We use AutoCAD software to produce all schematics.

Our expertise in power transmission allows us to provide a complete solution, from the control panel to the driven machine shaft.
