Part Number: 3AUA0000127140
Quick Summary
ACSM1-04AS-580A-4 is an ABB soft starter providing controlled motor starts for pumps, fans, and conveyors. Engineers face costly voltage spikes and motor wear during startup, leading to downtime and higher maintenance costs. This solution aligns with CE safety requirements and is designed for IP-rated environments, with SIL-capable configurations in select variants. For industrial automation programs, this device translates to lower energy costs and longer motor life while simplifying panel wiring and controls. Designed for easy integration with existing ABB and third-party control systems, it reduces commissioning time, supports standard 24V or 110/230V control wiring, and provides clear fault indicators to minimize troubleshooting.
Product Information
Soft-start control minimizes inrush current during motor start, protecting power systems and mechanical gear trains. The business impact is measurable: reduced peak demand charges, less electrical stress on cables and switches, and longer motor life. In industrial automation environments such as pumps, fans, and conveyors, this approach translates into smoother production ramps and less unscheduled downtime. Current and overload protection features guard motor windings and drive circuits from faults. By monitoring Icont.max and system voltage, the ACSM1-04AS-580A-4 quickly limits current to prevent tripping, while providing clear fault indications for fast troubleshooting. This is especially valuable in high-load operations like extrusion lines or process equipment where unplanned stops cost time and material.Installation compatibility reduces project risk. The soft starter integrates with ABB and third-party control schemes, supports standard control wiring, and simplifies panel wiring with logical terminal layouts. Operators appreciate faster commissioning, consistent startup sequences, and fewer field adjustments, which shortens project timelines and lowers total cost of ownership. Energy efficiency benefits stem from controlled torque and smoother motor operation. Even modest reductions in inrush can lower utility demand charges, while extending gear and bearing life reduces replacement cycles. For facilities aiming to boost throughput without upgrading drives, the ACSM1-04AS-580A-4 provides a practical, scalable upgrade path for a wide range of motor-powered equipment. Reliability and diagnostics are built into the product philosophy. Real-time status indicators and fault logging enable proactive maintenance and remote monitoring. This translates into improved uptime, easier root-cause analysis, and a stronger case for lifecycle cost savings when comparing soft-start solutions to traditional across-the-line starting methods. Industry-specific context shows that many plants retrofit motor starts to reduce downtime and energy usage during modernization cycles. The ACSM1-04AS-580A-4 integrates with ABB's control hierarchy and popular PLC platforms, enabling synchronized start sequences with other drives and sensors. In new builds, it supports standardized commissioning workflows, spare-part availability, and predictable service life, delivering a compelling total cost of ownership improvement for automation projects.

FAQs
Installation starts with verifying the motor is within 315 kW and the drive can handle 580 A per phase. Connect the ACSM unit to the control circuit using standard 24 V or higher control wiring, and align wiring with the plant’s PLC or HMI. Ensure three-phase supply and proper protective devices are in place. The soft starter should integrate with existing ABB or third-party control schemes to maintain synchronized startup sequences and minimize downtime.
Key specs include a continuous power rating up to 315 kW (Pcont.max) and a maximum line current of 580 A (Icont.max). The unit supports three-phase motors and provides current limiting during startup, reducing inrush, with protection against faults and fault logging for quick diagnosis. These specs make it suitable for medium-sized pumps, fans, and conveyors in industrial settings.
Yes. The ACSM1-04AS-580A-4 is designed for reliable soft-start control of three-phase motors powering pumps, fans, and conveyors. It minimizes inrush, reduces mechanical stress, and smooths production ramps. Its protective features guard against overloads and faults, helping to prevent unplanned stops and extend motor life in demanding manufacturing lines.
ABB soft starters in this family commonly comply with CE safety requirements and are designed for IP-rated installations suitable for industrial environments. Depending on configuration, SIL-rated options may be available for safety-related applications. Always verify the specific variant’s datasheet for exact certifications and IP protection level in your region and application.
ROI is driven by lower peak demand charges, reduced motor wear, and less downtime from startup-related faults. Maintenance benefits come from longer motor life, fewer bearing and gear stresses, and easier fault diagnosis via built-in diagnostics.
