| Emirates Stadium gets hi-tech pitch with help from ABB |
| |
|
ABB supplied a variable speed drive that helps Arsenal Football Club play in all weathers, while ensuring harmonics do not affect TV cameras covering the game.
An ABB industrial drive, supplied by ABB Drives Alliance partner Central Electrical, feeds an ABB motor used to power a fan that provides air to an under-pitch aeration system that promotes healthy turf and helps drain the soil.
The high-tech pitch at the new Arsenal Emirates Stadium was designed and built by John Hewitt of Hewitt ... More

Drive Harmonics
|
| Your electrical system needs to co-exist with other users on the network. Non-sinusoidal devices, such as fluorescent lights, mobile phone chargers, UPS systems and variable speed drives, all produce current of a frequency which is different to that of the distribution system, normally 50 Hz. |

The best way to eliminate harmonic distortion
|
| When ABB introduced the world's first low harmonic drive at the 2005 Hanover Fair, the impact was immense and immediate. Four years on and thousands of installations later, it is time to examine why the superior performance of low harmonic drives has made conventional drives equipped with external

Harmonics – prevention is better than cure
|
| Harmonics generated by variable speed drives is a form of pollution of electrical plant that can cause severe problems. From flickering lights to exploding capacitors the range of symptoms is diverse, but should not be ignored. Recognising you have a harmonics problem is the first big step to its
