One of my Dairy customers called me yesterday. The have three wells supplying water for the dairy. Well one has a 60 hp sub pump with a Yaskawa drive. Well two has a 40 hp sub pump with an Aquavar by Gould’s branded drive. It’s actually an ABB ACS550 with some custom programming for centrifugal pumps. Well three is a 10 hp sub pump with a Yaskawa. Yaskawa drives are probably the most used drive in the agricultural market, at least here in the Pacific Northwest. Have a couple of good distributors for them.
Anyway, they called yesterday and said the 40 hp ABB wasn’t working. Ran out and looked. No display on the control pad. Verified power to the drive. Replaced the control pad with a new one today. Still no display. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions? Not much I can do if I can’t get the display to power up.
Otherwise, they will get a new Yaskawa to replace the ABB. Don’t have anything against ABB, just a lot more familiar with the Yaskawa drives. My cost is less than $100 difference between them.
