FAQs
This drive is a low-voltage AC module designed to control solar pumping motors. Ensure the motor type is compatible (AC induction or permanent magnet), supply is LV AC, and parameters are set for 0.75 kW / 4.7 A. Plan for Safe Torque Off wiring and place the drive in a suitable enclosure to protect against moisture and dust. Alignment with existing control logic simplifies commissioning.
Yes. The ACS355 family supports both AC induction and permanent magnet motors, giving you flexibility to upgrade or retrofit solar pumping systems without replacing the motor fleet. This compatibility helps maximize existing investments while enabling precise torque and speed control for efficient pumping.
Ideal for solar pumping in remote water management, agricultural irrigation, and small-scale pumping stations. Its built-in torque control and sequencing support steady flow in variable solar conditions, reducing energy waste and enabling synchronized operation with irrigation schedules or reservoir management.
The ACS355 design emphasizes built-in safety features such as Safe Torque Off and programmable control, aligning with industry expectations for regulatory readiness. While regional certifications vary, this class of drive is commonly specified with CE conformity, appropriate IP protection, and SIL safety concepts as part of overall system safety considerations.
By reducing external control electronics, enabling precise speed/torque control, and enhancing safety with STO, the drive lowers installation and maintenance costs. Energy efficiency improves pump performance under varying solar inputs, delivering faster payback and lower total cost of ownership for remote, solar-powered pumping systems.
