FAQs
The ACH550 22 kW drive (I2n 44A) is designed for three-phase motors and pairs well with ABB motor families within its power envelope. It supports standard panel installation, simple wiring, and quick parameter alignment via factory presets. For retrofit projects, verify motor nameplate compatibility and ensure panel space accommodates the IP54-rated enclosure.
ACH550 provides smooth start/stop, precise speed regulation, and adaptive torque control, which reduces energy consumption and mechanical stress. In duty cycles with cycling loads—such as conveyors and pumps—the result is lower electricity costs, extended motor life, and reduced wear on driveline components, all while meeting typical industrial EMC and safety expectations.
Yes. With a 22 kW rating and IP54 protection, the ACH550 is well-suited for mid-size conveyors operating in dusty or humid facilities. Its programmable acceleration/deceleration and motor protection features help maintain consistent belt tension, reduce belt wear, and improve line throughput with fewer faults compared to mismatched or undersized drives.
The ACH550 carries CE conformity for safety, EMC, and electrical compliance, and its IP54 enclosure rating provides protection against dust and moisture. These certifications support regulatory compliance in most global markets and facilitate safer integration into automation projects without extensive field modifications.
Expect favorable ROI from energy savings due to efficient speed control and reduced peak power. The robust IP54-rated housing plus reliable fault protection lowers maintenance costs and reduces unplanned downtime. Over the motor lifecycle, smoother operation and longer service intervals translate to lower total cost of ownership on production lines.
