FAQs
The 3AUA0000004242-D is designed for 380 V three-phase systems and 38 A load. Ensure proper IP54-rated enclosure placement, adequate wiring with the correct control signals, and adherence to ABB installation manuals for wiring diagrams and safety clearances. Confirm panel or enclosure compatibility with your facility's electrical standards before commissioning.
A 38 A rated current at 380 V positions this drive to efficiently handle mid-sized three-phase motors. It enables smooth torque control, accurate speed ramping, and reliable startup sequences, which reduces mechanical stress and energy consumption on conveyors, pumps, and fans operating under variable loads.
Yes. The IP54 enclosure rating protects the drive from dust ingress and water splashes, making it appropriate for typical factory floors, machine enclosures, and exposed installations. This protection level helps maintain performance and longevity in environments with dust, humidity, or incidental moisture.
The model carries CE certification and IP54 protection, signaling compliance with essential safety, health, and environmental standards and offering ingress protection suitable for industrial use. This helps streamline regulatory acceptance, reduce risk during audits, and support safe integration with other compliant ABB controls.
Expected ROI comes from energy-efficient speed control, reduced motor wear due to smooth start/stop, and lower downtime from robust protection features. For conveyors, this translates to fewer interruptions, longer motor life, and lower energy bills, especially in systems with frequent speed changes and varying load profiles.
