TIM foils or otherwise known as graphite sheet have been introduced in use in ACS800 R7i &

R8i industrial air-cooled modules as part of normal continuous improvements in the ACS800

product family. Benefits of using TIM foils in comparison to thermal grease are easier installa

tion and more durable heat transferring properties for longer periods of time. Durability par

ticularly improved in a cyclic application.

New ACS800 R7i & R8i industrial air-cooled modules have been built using TIM foils since

1.10.2022. when ordering the module through BOL Drives Configurator. Current industrial air

cooled ACS800 R7i & R8i module fixed codes are available until 31.12.2022 and are delivered

with the thermal grease. All industrial air-cooled ACS800 R7i & R8i module orders will be avail

able only through BOL Drives Configurator starting 1.1.2023.

NOTE: Spare part wind specific modules with fixed codes will continue to be available and are

delivered with thermal grease and the wind specific DSW module repairs and other services

continue to use thermal grease until further notice.

All industrial air-cooled ACS800 R7i & R8i module repairs in Helsinki DSW are done with TIM

foil. DSW: s global implementation date for TIM foil is 1.11.2022.

Where and how to use

TIM foils are used to transfer the heat generated in the IGBT’s to the heatsink. Full instruc

tions on how to install TIM foils is described in document delivered with TIM IGBT spare part

kits. In R8i module it’s possible to use a mix of IGBT’s with thermal grease and TIM foils. In

parallel connected R8i modules it’s also possible to use a mix of modules using TIM foils and

thermal grease.

1.10.2022. when ordering the module through BOL Drives Configurator. Current industrial air

able only through BOL Drives Configurator starting 1.1.2023.

The input voltage range is 18 to 30 volt dc and the input current

source is 6 mA at 24 V. The inputs are divided into two individualy

isolated groups with eight channels and one voltage supervision

input in each group. Every input channel consists of current limiting

components, EMC protection components, input state indication

LED and optical isolation barrier. The process voltage supervision

input give channel error signals if the voltage disappears. 

The error signal can be read through the ModuleBus.

Features and benefits

• 16 channels for 24 V d.c. inputs with current sinking

• 2 isolated groups of 8 with voltage supervision

• Input status indicators

Well-proven technology

For more than 40 years, MEGADRIVE-LCI drives

and soft starters have proven their maximum

reliability and availability in a wide range of

industries and applications where both high

power and high voltage are required.

ACS6080 medium voltage drives offer high dynamic performance,

reliability and safety for demanding applications.

On top of ABB’s new MP³C control technology, the drive provides easy-to-use interfaces to

simplify operation and ABB Ability™ remote condition monitoring.

Increased productivity due to new MP³C control technology

The ACS6080 drive includes ABB’s breakthrough control capability, known

as Model Predictive Pulse Pattern Control (MP³C). The new advanced MP³C

technology offers the highest level of dynamic performance provided by

ABB’s direct torque control (DTC) together with the robustness and power

quality of predictive control. At every point in time this control can anticipate

the best motor operation point by finding the perfect compromise between

dynamics, efficiency and harmonic distortion.

The advanced control enables system integrators and plant operators to

maintain stability, while reducing investment and operational costs by using

a smaller drive or a smaller motor in most cases. The increased power

capability of the ACS6080’s single power module reduces the footprint of

the drive by up to 20 percent. The new control helps to reduce operational

cost in two ways: it is more energy efficient than other control solutions,

and maintenance costs are reduced as there is less mechanical and thermal

stress on the equipment leading to longer lifetime of the components.
