VFD & VSD Installation, Commissioning and Repair

We can provide on site installation commissioning and repair of all major drive types, our engineers will install your Variable Speed Drives following the latest electrical regulations and technical standards. We will commission your drive to match your application requirements, ensuring parameter settings are set up correctly to your needs. Drive repairs can be done on site or off site and all issues will be fully diagnosed and repaired. We hold stock of spares for ABB Drives as well as other manufacturers. Once your drive is fully restored, we can come back to site and re-install and commission for you.

ABB ACS Drive Repair and Fault Assessment

New Start Energy supports the assessment and repair of ABB variable speed drives. If an ABB ACS drive has developed a fault, send the complete model code, serial number, power and current rating, supply voltage, application, displayed fault code and a description of what happened before the trip.

Photographs of the display, drive nameplate, panel layout and connected equipment can support the initial review. Include any available parameter backup, drawings, fault history and previous service information. Do not open live equipment, defeat interlocks or repeatedly reset a drive without understanding the cause.

A fault code is the start of the diagnosis

An ABB ACS fault message identifies a detected condition, but it may not establish the root cause. The assessment may need to consider the incoming supply, motor and cabling, cooling and contamination, control signals, communications, process conditions and the drive itself.

Agree the appropriate repair route

Depending on the fault evidence, equipment condition and agreed scope, the next step may involve on-site diagnosis, workshop assessment, a parts-availability check, parameter recovery, repair planning, replacement selection or temporary-drive suitability. Support for a particular model, parts availability and attendance arrangements are confirmed after the technical details have been reviewed.

For an urgent stopped process, use our emergency VSD breakdown support. Where temporary equipment may be suitable, review our emergency VSD hire service. To request an ABB drive assessment, send New Start Energy the equipment and fault details.

What is a Variable Speed Drive?

A Variable Speed Drive (VSD), in general is a device either mechanical, hydraulic or electrical that will vary the speed of driven equipment. A sub-category also known as a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD), is an electronic controller that adjusts the speed, torque, and direction of an electric motor by varying the input frequency and voltage.

In simple terms — it lets your motor work only as hard as it needs to, saving energy and reducing wear.

Common uses include:

  • Controlling pumps, fans, conveyors, and compressors
  • Reducing start-up current (no more electrical spikes)
  • Matching motor speed to demand for smoother processes

Benefits of Using VSDs

Energy Savings

Motors consume only the energy required for the task, reducing power use by up to 50%.

Precision Control

Fine-tune your motor performance for smoother acceleration, constant speed, and soft stopping.

Reduced Wear & Maintenance

Lower mechanical stress means fewer breakdowns and longer life for both the drive and motor.

Lower Operating Costs

Save on electricity and maintenance — and extend the lifespan of your equipment.

Versatility

A single VSD can serve multiple applications — from simple fans to complex automation systems.

Industries We Support
