Introduction to the manual

What this chapter contains

This chapter describes the contents of the manual. It also contains information on the
compatibility and intended audience.

Applicability
This document covers the environmental information of the following products:
• HES880 converter modules
• HDCL chokes
• HLCL filters.

Target audience
This document is intended for people who need information on recycling.

Contents of the manual

The document contains information for treatment facilities in accordance with the EU
directive on waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
This manual contains the following chapters:
• Product materials
• Manufacturing and use
• Product disposal
The WEEE directive is implemented through national regulations and therefore
requirements vary in each EU member state.
8 Introduction to the manual

Drives are always parts of other machines or equipment and they are covered by the
WEEE directive when the end product is covered. Inclusion or exclusion depends on the
application of the drive.
The WEEE directive does not apply to drives which are used in large-scale fixed
installations, large-scale stationary industrial tools, means of transport for persons and
goods, or non-road mobile machinery made available exclusively for professional use.
We recommend to contact local environmental authorities for up-to-date information about
national recycling requirements.

Converter module and filter types

This manual covers all different converter module and filter types of the HES880 product
family. The converter module or filter type is marked on the type designation plate of the
module or filter. The converter module and filter type is also shown in the rating tables for
each converter and filter type. The rating tables are in the HES880 converter modules and
filters product manual.

Package
The product package is made of wooden base and corrugated cardboard.
You can recycle all materials used in the package.
To avoid pollution caused by unnecessary transportation, the factory does not take back
used packages. The local ABB companies give instructions on the package recycling
when necessary.
ABB recommends package recycling as it preserves raw materials and reduces waste
being landfilled.

Product manuals and sales brochures

To save natural resources and reduce paper waste, all product manuals are available in
ABB Library and on the Internet.

Manufacturing and use

Manufacturing
ABB Oy (Finland) has a company-wide integrated quality, environmental and occupational
health & safety management system. The system is certified in accordance with
requirements of the international standards ISO 9001 and ISO 14001.
The Integrated Management System applies to all units of the company.

Use
The use of a drive has several positive environmental impacts, such as:
• Substantial energy savings and reduced operating costs can be reached using a drive.
Rather than have an electric motor running continuously at full speed, an electric drive
allows the user to slow down or speed up the motor.
• Process control is optimized. An electric drive enables a process to achieve the right
speed and torque while maintaining its accuracy.
• Need for maintenance is reduced. Being able to vary the speed and torque of an
electric motor means there is less wear and tear on the motor and the driven machine.

Product disposal

Contents of this chapter

This chapter contains product disposal instructions.

Disposal
The main parts of the drive can be recycled to preserve natural resources and energy.
Product parts and materials should be dismantled and separated.
Generally all metals, such as steel, aluminum, copper and its alloys, and precious metals
can be recycled as material. Plastics, rubber, cardboard and other packaging material can
be used in energy recovery.
Printed circuit boards and DC capacitors need selective treatment according to IEC 62635
guidelines.
To aid recycling, plastic parts are marked with an appropriate identification code.
Contact your local ABB distributor for further information on environmental aspects. End of
life treatment must follow international and national regulations.
ABB recommends that you return HES880 converter modules and filters to ABB for
disposal.

Dismantling
You can dismantle the drive manually or in a shredding machine. The chapter is divided in
two sections on basis of the dismantling method.
16 Product disposal

 Manual dismantling
Sort the parts of the product according to their material contents as follows:
• ferrous metals (plates, screws)
• aluminum (frame, enclosure, busbars)
• copper (busbars)
• plastics
• printed circuit boards
• electrolytic capacitors
• other.
You can recycle metal parts (iron, aluminum and copper) and most of the other materials
according to local regulations.
For information on harmful materials, see subsection ABB list of prohibited and restricted
substances.

 Mechanical shredding
In this method, a whole product is mechanically shredded into small pieces and materials
are sorted using dedicated sorting processes.
Remove the harmful material before shredding the drive in the shredding machine. See
subsection ABB list of prohibited and restricted substances.

ABB list of prohibited and restricted substances

The purpose of this list is to comply with legislation to avoid chemical substances that may
present hazards to the environment or the health.
This document provides information about “Prohibited substances”, substances that must
not be used, and “Restricted substances”, substances whose use should be limited within
ABB.
Definitions and regulations of hazardous materials differ from country to country and are
likely to change when knowledge of materials increases. The materials used in the product
are materials typically used in electrical and electronic equipment.

 Reference list
1. Directive 2011/65/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 8 June 2011
on the restriction of the use of certain hazardous substances in electrical and
electronic equipment (RoHS II).
2. Regulation No 1907/2006/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18
December 2006 concerning the Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction
of Chemicals (REACH):
• Annex XIV: List of substances subject to authorization
• Annex XVII: Restrictions on use of substances in articles
• SVHC: Candidate list of substances of very high concern for authorization.
3. Directive 2012/19/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 4 July 2012 on
waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE).
