ABB 3AUA0000201065 ACS880 Extension Box - UL Listed
Part Number: 3AUA0000201065
Quick Summary
ACS880 Extension Box is an extension module for wall-mounted ACS880 drives, enabling integrated input fusing and local motor control. Engineers often struggle with wiring complexity and limited panel space in retrofit projects, and this module consolidates protection and controls into a single enclosure. UL-listed safety enclosure is included, while projects typically require rugged fieldbus compatibility and enclosure protection levels to meet industry standards. This extension box reduces installation time and wiring runs, delivering cost savings and scalability for up to the 150 HP wall-mount configurations while supporting fieldbus options and I/O adapters essential for modern automation deployments.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000201065 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.
Feature: Integrated input fusing and local disconnect switch in the extension box. Benefit: Reduces panel space, simplifies wiring, and accelerates commissioning, enabling faster project ROI in conveyors, pumps, and mixers. Application: Use with ACS880-01 drives in oil & gas, mining, and material handling environments where space is at a premium and safety interlocks are required. Feature: Optional devices include local disconnect switch, control power transformer, and ACS880-01 fieldbus adapters. Benefit: Modular expansion lowers procurement complexity and allows tailored I/O and communications without separate enclosures, cutting cabinet footprint and install time. Application: Suitable for process lines and material handling systems with mixed fieldbus networks and remote I/O. Feature: 120V digital signal interface for stop/start motor control. Benefit: Seamless PLC integration and safer, faster start/stop sequencing, reducing upstream wiring and potential fault points. Application: Critical for conveyors, extruders, winches, and winders in manufacturing lines. Feature: Availability up to 150 HP in a wall-mount package. Benefit: Enables scalable drive solutions for mid-range horsepower tasks while keeping a compact footprint. Application: Ideal for cement plants, pulp and paper, and large packaging lines where space constraints are tight. Feature: Factory integration with ACS880-01 compatibility and proven installation practices. Benefit: Proven reliability and easier commissioning, addressing common objections about compatibility and future upgrades. Application: Retrofit projects and greenfield installs across industrial sectors needing robust protection and control.
