ABB ACS310-03U-10A8-2 LV AC Drive Module for Pumps - 3 HP
Part Number: 3AUA0000049474
Quick Summary
ABB ACS310-03U-10A8-2 LV AC drive module provides variable-speed control for pumps and fans in industrial systems. Many customers struggle with energy waste and excessive wear when using fixed-speed drives under fluctuating loads. Typical certifications for drive systems include CE compliance and robust IP-rated enclosures, with SIL options on certain configurations. Designed for compact integration, this module supports precise pump and fan control, enabling energy savings, easier commissioning, and better lifecycle costs. Its built-in PID and pump/fan control extend performance by adapting to pressure, flow, and external data. This combination reduces energy use, extends motor life, and simplifies integration with existing ABB or third-party control architectures.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000049474 ABB: The ACS310 drives are designed for variable torque applications such as booster pumps and supply and return fans. The drive includes a powerful and beneficial set of features designed for pump and fan applications. These features include built-in PID controllers and pump and fan control (PFC) that varies the drive=E2=80=99s performance in response to changes in pressure, flow or other external data.
Built-in PID controllers and pump/fan control (PFC) offer precise regulation of speed and pressure, delivering tight process control and smoother operation. The business impact is a reduction in energy waste and wear, translating into lower operating costs and longer motor life. In practical terms, the ACS310-03U-10A8-2 enables booster pumps and supply/return fans to respond to pressure and flow changes in real time, making it ideal for HVAC, water systems, and light industrial duties. Variable torque optimization is at the core of ACS310's design, matching drive output to the pump or fan curve as system load shifts. This capability yields significant energy savings, reduces thermal cycling, and minimizes started/stopped events that shorten equipment life. Applications include booster pump plants, cooling towers, and air-handling units where load varies widely. With a 3 HP, 10.8 A rating, the module targets mid-size pumps and fans, enabling efficient control without oversizing. This sizing reduces installation costs and enables more compact panels, while maintaining robust performance under fluctuating loads. Designed as a dedicated drive module, it streamlines commissioning and integration with existing ABB ecosystems or third-party controllers. The built-in control features simplify setup, diagnostics, and tuning, helping maintenance teams reduce downtime and accelerate project timelines. Engineered for industrial environments, the ACS310 family emphasizes reliability in pumped and ventilated systems, supporting safe operation and consistent performance in variable torque applications.

FAQs
Follow standard LV drive installation practices: verify the motor rating matches 3 HP (10.8 A), mount the drive in a ventilated enclosure, and connect line, load, and ground per the wiring diagrams. Enable built-in PID and PFC, set pressure/flow setpoints, and perform a commissioning test. Adhere to safety procedures and refer to the official documentation for details.
You should see smoother starts and stops, reduced cycling, and steadier pressure control thanks to the integrated PID. The pump/fan control adapts output to external data, delivering energy savings, lower thermal stress, and extended pump life in variable-torque loads such as booster and cooling pumps.
Yes. The ACS310 is designed for variable torque loads like booster pumps and supply/return fans, using built-in PID and pump/fan control to maintain stable flow and pressure while minimizing energy use in HVAC systems.
Look for CE compliance for European markets and IP-rated housing for environmental protection. Depending on configuration, SIL capabilities may be available on select variants. Always confirm the exact model documentation or with the supplier to meet your regulatory and safety requirements.
Energy savings from variable torque control reduce operating costs, while smoother operation lowers maintenance downtime. Built-in diagnostics and easier commissioning shorten project timelines, delivering faster payback in pumping and ventilation installations.
