In this selection, ABB ultra-low harmonic frequency converter ACH580-31 and permanent magnet shaft generator both won the Automation Innovation Award, and ABB IRB 1010 robot won the Industrial Robot Innovation Award. Among them:
The ACH580-31 is an ultra-low harmonic frequency converter launched by ABB in the Chinese market in 2022. The product has built-in harmonic suppression system, which can achieve the total harmonic distortion rate of THDi less than 3%, which can help users improve energy efficiency and protect power quality at the same time, and can be widely used in data centers, electronic factories, hospitals, laboratories, airports, subways, commercial buildings and shopping centers and other occasions or applications with harsh harmonic requirements.

ABB’s new permanent magnet shaft generator uses proven permanent magnet technology to deliver a maintenance-free solution that improves efficiency, optimizes performance and enhances reliability for ship operators. It can help ships save 3% to 4% in fuel costs and significantly reduce emissions, and its lightweight and compact optimized design allows installation area to be reduced by approximately 20%.
