Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD64726820 ABB: ACS550-01-157A-4,157A,380V,IP21
IP21-rated enclosure provides protection suitable for indoor installations, reducing environmental exposure and extending drive life. This translates to lower maintenance costs and less unscheduled downtime on production lines such as packaging and process automation. The result is more predictable performance and fewer field service calls, enabling teams to meet throughput targets with confidence. 380V three-phase input compatibility ensures robust power delivery to medium- to high-power motors, improving torque response and load handling for conveyors and pumps. Users experience steadier operation under varying load profiles, reduced voltage drop effects, and improved overall plant efficiency. This supports faster changeovers and smoother start/stop sequences in continuous manufacturing environments. 157A current rating accommodates larger motors and surge conditions, enabling reliable startup and peak-load management for demanding equipment like grinders, blowers, and filtration systems. The business impact is lower equipment wear, fewer nuisance tripping events, and extended motor life, which lowers total cost of ownership. Seamless compatibility with ABB drive ecosystems accelerates commissioning and simplifies maintenance, with consistent diagnostics and spare-part compatibility across the portfolio. Retrofit projects benefit from minimal control-system rework, while greenfield installations enjoy rapid time-to-value and standardized maintenance practices. Energy-efficient speed control reduces idle and running losses by matching motor output to actual demand, delivering measurable energy savings over the motor’s operating life. This contributes to lower utility bills, especially on air handling, pumping, and material handling applications. Industry context shows finance teams valuing predictable running costs and engineers prioritizing reliability and safety in line with current energy and safety standards.
