ABB 3AUA0000201061 Motors & Drives - UL Pld 20 Hp
Part Number: 3AUA0000201061
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000201061 is a LV AC drive module with extension box for streamlined motor control in plants. Too often, installation requires separate input fusing and a local disconnect, driving labor costs and cabinet clutter. The ACS880 Extension Box provides UL-listed protection and combines input fusing with a local disconnect, while offering fieldbus options and I/O adapters for scalable control. This approach supports CE-ready configurations and rugged IP considerations, helping you meet regulatory and safety standards. The result is faster commissioning and reduced total cost of ownership, with installation savings and simplified maintenance. This solution is well suited to oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, conveyors, extruders, pumps, and fans in heavy industries.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000201061 ABB: The ACS880 Extension Box is an ACS880-01 wall-mounted drive on a back panel with an electrical box for additional devices. Within the box are line fuses to protect the drive. Optional devices includes a local disconnect switch, control power transformer, as well as ACS880-01 options for fieldbus, in-put/output adapters, special software, etc. The extension box will save cost and simplify installation because it has the input fusing and local disconnect switch that are typically required as part of the installation. It can also provide 120V digital signal interface for stop/start motor control. It is used in a variety of industries include oil and gas, chemical, mining, material handling, pulp and paper, saw mills and cement. Applications include extruders, winches, winders, conveyors, mixers, compressors, pumps and fans. The ACS880 Extension Box is available up to 150 HP in a wall-mountable package.
Integrated protection and a local disconnect: The extension box houses line fuses to protect the drive and provides a built-in disconnect switch, reducing wiring complexity and cabinet footprint. Business impact: lowers installation time, minimizes hardware counts, and decreases labor costs during commissioning. Application: ideal for ACS880-01 wall-mounted drives in conveyors, pumps, extruders, and material-handling lines across manufacturing facilities. Modular fieldbus readiness: Optional fieldbus adapters and I/O interfaces inside the box enable seamless integration with plant controllers. Impact: faster PLC synchronization, simplified diagnostics, and future-proofing without rewiring. Application: chemical processing, mining, and pulp-and-paper mills where multiple devices share signals and require robust communication. 120V control interface: The extension box can provide a 120V digital signal interface for stop/start motor control, enabling safer local control and easier integration with existing control cabinets. Impact: reduces voltage conversion steps, improves safety margins, and cuts downtime during start-up and maintenance. Application: oil and gas refining, cement production, and metal processing facilities with centralized control schemes. Power scalability and mounting efficiency: The ACS880 family supports up to 150 HP in a wall-mountable package, with the 20 HP configuration at 27 A as a common baseline. Impact: enables stepwise capacity expansion, minimizes new cabinet space, and improves serviceability. Application: fans, conveyors, pumps, and compressors across heavy industries. Installation and reliability advantages: The back-panel extension box aligns with ACS880-01 drives, simplifying wiring diagrams and compliance documentation while improving protection against environmental contaminants through integrated fusing. Impact: shorter project schedules, easier spare parts planning, and greater uptime. Application: oil and gas installations, cement plants, and large mining operations.

FAQs
The extension box consolidates input fusing and a local disconnect in a single back-panel unit, reducing wiring complexity and cabinet space. This leads to faster commissioning, fewer miswires, and lower installation costs. It is particularly beneficial when deploying ACS880-01 wall-mounted drives in conveyors, pumps, and extruders where space is at a premium and reliability is critical.
The box provides line-fuse protection for the drive and supports up to 27 A for common 20 HP configurations, with configurations available up to 150 HP in the broader ACS880 family. It also enables 120 V digital I/O interfaces and fieldbus options, improving signal integrity and control accuracy for precise motor operations in demanding environments.
Key beneficiaries include oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, cement, and material handling sectors. Applications such as conveyors, extruders, pumps, fans, and compressors gain from reduced installation time, centralized protection, and scalable control architecture that supports both new builds and retrofits.
Yes. The extension box offers optional fieldbus adapters and I/O interfaces for seamless PLC integration, along with a 120 V digital signal interface for stop/start control. This enables easier integration with existing plant controllers, faster diagnostics, and flexible control strategies without rewiring existing cabinets.
By consolidating fusing, a disconnect, and I/O options in a single enclosure, the extension box reduces cabling, accelerates commissioning, and simplifies serviceability. Over the life of the system, this translates to lower maintenance costs, reduced downtime, and improved uptime for mission-critical motor-driven processes across heavy industries.
