Extended Description
3AUA0000003370 ABB: ACS550-U1-03A3-4
Voltage range and motor rating drive broad applicability, enabling a single drive to power a 1.5HP motor from 380-500V with ±10% tolerance. This translates to reduced spare-part diversity for international installations and more stable torque delivery for conveyors, pumps, and machine tools. In practice, teams appreciate predictable performance across varying load profiles and temperatures, minimizing rework during commissioning and cutover. IP21-NEMA1 enclosure and bottom or side conduit options simplify installation and compliance. The rugged yet compact package fits in standard control panels and supports safe wiring in typical factory environments. This compatibility translates to faster deployment on multi-line lines and easier retrofits where tight spaces and strict enclosure requirements exist. Operation across 48-63Hz enables flexible speed control to match process demands without oversizing equipment. The result is smoother accelerations, reduced mechanical wear, and energy savings from lower fan and pump speeds during low-demand periods. For OEMs, this means more reliable line performance and lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s service life. Direct Connect wiring and straightforward installation reduce wiring errors and installation time. The drive’s simple topology supports quick integration with existing control architectures and standard PLCs, easing maintenance and spare-part planning. This is particularly valuable in batch processes and high-mix environments where changeovers are frequent. Built-in commissioning tools, parameter sets, and diagnostic capabilities cut startup time and training costs. Engineers benefit from faster validation, easier troubleshooting, and consistent configurations across machines. As part of the ABB drives family, it also offers a familiar interface for technicians migrating from legacy VFDs to modern motor control solutions. Industry context: against rising energy costs and regulatory pressure, variable speed drives like this ABB unit deliver measurable efficiency gains and smoother process control. The 380-500V class aligns with mid- to high-power applications and reduces energy waste during idle periods, improving overall OEM and end-user ROI.

FAQs
Install by confirming supply voltage within 380-500V ±10% and three-phase connections rated for 3.3A. Use direct-connect wiring and mount the drive in an IP21-NEMA1 protected enclosure with bottom or side conduit unless your panel design requires alternate routing. Configure motor parameters, ramp rates, and overload protection using the built-in commissioning tools for a clean start.
Key performance specs include 1.5 HP (about 1.1 kW) output with a 3.3 A current rating, input voltage range of 380-500 V ±10%, and a frequency range of 48-63 Hz. The drive supports IP21 enclosure protection (NEMA 1) and direct-connect wiring, offering reliable torque control and soft-start to minimize startup transients in conveyors, pumps, and fans.
Yes. The 380-500V class and 1.5 HP rating suit light- to mid-load conveyors and pump applications in manufacturing and packaging lines. With variable speed control, soft-start and torque regulation, it reduces mechanical wear and energy consumption while improving process stability. Its compact form and bottom/side conduit options simplify retrofits and new installations on existing automation architectures.
Certified for CE compliance, with IP21 enclosure protection and NEMA 1 compatibility. While the data sheet for this model doesn’t specify a SIL rating, the device is designed for standard industrial environments and includes built-in safety features. Always verify local regulations for machine safety and integration with your control system.
Maintenance requirements are minimal due to solid-state electronics and a robust enclosure. Routine checks of wiring, terminal connections, and firmware updates cover conditions. The drive’s energy-saving capability and longer motor life contribute to a favorable ROI, typically realized through reduced energy bills, lower spare-part costs, and accelerated project timelines significantly.
