ABB ACS310-03U-08A3-2 LV AC Drive Module - IEC Pn 2 Hp
Part Number: 3AUA0000049473
Quick Summary
The ABB ACS310-03U-08A3-2 LV AC drive module provides precise speed control for pumps and fans. Engineers often contend with variable flow, pressure swings, and energy waste, which this drive mitigates through adaptive control. Two critical considerations in industrial deployments are regulatory compliance and rugged enclosure protection for demanding environments. Built-in PID and pump/fan control (PFC) enable responsive adjustments that optimize process stability and reduce overshoot. With compact installation and ABB ecosystem compatibility, the solution delivers measurable efficiency gains, lower maintenance, and faster commissioning for HVAC and pumping applications. This combination supports energy-conscious industrial automation while simplifying integration across water, air handling, and process systems.

FAQs
Install the drive in a suitable control panel, connect the three-phase supply to the LV terminals, wire motor leads to the output, and configure the basic parameters using the built-in wizard. Set motor rating to 2 Hp (3U-08A3-2 variant), enable pump/fan control, and program protection settings. Commissioning guidance is provided by the device interface and ABB documentation to ensure safe startup and reliable operation.
The built-in PID controllers continuously monitor process variables like pressure and flow, adjusting drive output to maintain target setpoints. Pump/fan control (PFC) adapts performance in real time, reducing energy consumption and stabilizing system performance during disturbances. This results in smoother operation, lower energy bills, and improved process reliability without extensive external control hardware.
Energy savings come from precise torque control, reduced motor current during startup, and adaptive regulation of speed in response to demand. While savings vary by system, users typically see lower electricity consumption and reduced wear on mechanical components in variable-torque scenarios such as HVAC fans and booster pumps, contributing to lower total cost of ownership.
Certification and regulatory approvals depend on regional variants and enclosure configurations. Typical ABB variable frequency drives support common market requirements, and customers should consult the specific datasheet for CE, IP ratings, or other regional approvals applicable to their installation. Always verify the exact model variant and certification scope with your ABB distributor or integrator.
Recommended applications include booster pumps and supply/return fans in HVAC and building services, as well as small process pumps in water handling and light industrial automation. The drive’s variable torque capability, built-in PID, and PFC make it well-suited for systems requiring energy efficiency, responsive control, and straightforward integration into ABB motor control ecosystems.
