FAQs
ABB 3AUA0000157206 is designed for straightforward integration with common PLCs and HMIs used in modern shop floors. Begin by verifying motor type (AC induction or PM), install the drive in a suitable enclosure, connect the three‑phase supply and motor leads, and wire the built‑in Safe Torque Off and sequence programming to the existing control logic. Use standard fieldbus or digital I/O for control signals.
Key specs include a 4 kW nominal power rating and a 17.6 A current draw, suitable for AC induction and permanent magnet motors within the ACS355 family. The drive supports speed and torque control, with built‑in programming options and safety features. It can handle typical industrial loads encountered in lifting, material handling, and packaging lines when paired with appropriate motor and supply.
Yes. The ACS355‑based module is well suited for solar pumping configurations and other demanding applications in food & beverage, textiles, and material handling. The built‑in Safe Torque Off reduces risk in pump starts, while sequence programming enables reliable automation of multi‑step processes. Its compact form factor helps fit tight panel spaces in processing lines.
Typical compliance includes CE marking for European safety and interoperability and adherence to general electrical safety standards expected of motor drive systems. The product’s Safe Torque Off functionality aligns with industry safety practices, supporting risk reduction in automation tasks. Always verify local regulatory requirements and supplier documentation for UL, IP, or other certifications applicable to your installation.
Maintaining this drive is straightforward thanks to built‑in diagnostics, protective features, and minimal external hardware. Fewer controllers reduce BOM costs, while easier wiring and fast commissioning shorten project timelines. Over the life of a solar pump, conveyor line, or lifting system, improved energy efficiency and reduced downtime translate into measurable ROI and lower total cost of ownership.
