FAQs
The 3AUA0000049468 unit is a LV AC drive designed to retrofit booster pumps and supply/return fans. It supports standard LV wiring and is compatible with ABB motors and typical industrial motor setups. When sizing the drive, ensure the motor rating aligns with the 0.5 HP (2.6 A) class and review cable lengths per motor datasheets to maintain performance and protection.
Key specs include a 0.5 HP (0.37 kW) rated power, 2.6 A rated current, built-in PID controllers, and pump and fan control (PFC). It is intended for variable torque applications such as booster pumps and supply/return fans, enabling efficient speed regulation and responsive process control in LV drive configurations.
Yes, the ACS310 module is CE-marked and designed to meet IEC-based performance standards, making it suitable for HVAC and process applications that require reliable motor control, energy efficiency, and safe operation in industrial environments.
Pump and fan control (PFC) uses PID logic to adapt speed to actual system demand, maintaining target pressure or flow with minimal energy use. This reduces runaway motor loads, lowers electricity consumption, and extends equipment life by avoiding excessive surges and mechanical stress in pumping and ventilation systems.
Expect reduced energy costs from optimal motor speed and fewer mechanical wear due to smoother operation. The integrated PID/PFC simplifies commissioning, minimizes downtime during retrofits, and offers a compact, space-saving installation. ROI varies by system, but energy savings and lower maintenance over the drive’s life cycle are typical benefits.
