CASE STUDIES
THAMES WATER - LONG REACH PROJECT
9TH APRIL 2025
SCOPE OF WORK
To replace an old 140kW Heenan inverter that
was prone to failure and required a lot of time
and money to maintain not to mention the cost/
implication of any loss of production.
Because of MKE and ABB’s quick response and
competitive quoting, we were able to secure the order
ahead of other contractors being considered.
Working in partnership with ABB as a value provider
(VP) MKE were able to offer not only a competitive
price but also back it up with the support and service
from our ABB trained engineers.
The VSD we recommended was a 160kW ACQ580-34
Low Harmonic Inverter. The -34 was selected as these
are drive modules designed to be installed into cabinets
with limited space available.
Being low harmonic, the total harmonic distortion
(TDH) is between 2 and 4%.
With a successful installation and commissioning, the
customer was very happy and have indicated that they
will be looking to MKE and ABB to complete others in
the near future.
