VACON NXP 1500A Drive Restored to Full Power on ADES Oil Rig

Drive solution for one of the toughest offshore applications

When a 1500A VACON NXP liquid-cooled drive on Drawwork D at ADM693 oil rig showed performance issues, ADES Saudi Limited turned to Riyadh Al Etqan Co. for expert service and restoration.

Our engineering team carried out a complete diagnostic, service, and site reliability assessment for 60 VACON NXP drives across rigs ADM693, ADM694, and ADM689. Each unit underwent detailed health checks, parameter verification, and cooling system inspection to ensure stable operation in harsh offshore conditions.

Results:

Full power restoration for the 1500A drive

Zero unplanned downtime

Extended drive lifespan

Optimized reliability for critical rig systems

The VACON NXP liquid-cooled 1500A is a high-current low-voltage drive, ideal for heavy-duty oilfield applications where precision and endurance are essential.

Industrial Drive Case Study: From Unstable Thrusters to Zero Trips

At ASRY Bahrain Shipyard, three vessels (R133, R134, R135) were facing instability and trip issues in their bow thruster systems.

. We stepped in with a custom industrial drive solution using VACON NXC low harmonic drives (9 units). . Our team performed testing, monitoring, and performance tuning. -- Result? Stable thruster performance, smooth maneuvering, and ZERO TRIPS.

Why it worked:

Low harmonic drive technology

Precise parameter optimization

Expert commissioning & monitoring

Outcome: ✔ 100% reliability ✔ Reduced downtime cost ✔ Safer marine operations

Industrial Drive Solutions that protect your mission-critical systems.
