ABB 3AUA0000201070 Extension Box - UL Listed
Part Number: 3AUA0000201070
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000201070 Extension Box is a back-panel add-on that protects ACS880 drives in wall-mounted installations. Installing separate fusing and a local disconnect can slow projects and increase wiring errors; this extension box consolidates protection and control in one enclosure. UL-listed for safety and ready to accept fieldbus options, IO adapters, and a local disconnect switch, it simplifies commissioning while maintaining robust protection. The extension box supports drive protection up to 150 HP (65 A) and provides a 120V digital signal interface for stop/start motor control. It serves diverse industries from oil and gas to cement, helping installers reduce cabling, save labor, and accelerate time-to-value. By hosting input fusing and pre-wired interfaces, your project benefits from faster wiring checks, easier maintenance, and safer operation.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000201070 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 input fusing and local disconnect reduce installation time and labor, while delivering robust protection for ACS880-01 drives. This feature translates to fewer field-installed components and lower risk of wiring errors during commissioning. The business impact is clear: faster start-ups, reduced downtime, and safer, more reliable operation across your motor control network. The 120V digital signal interface enables stop/start control without extra wiring, streamlining control wiring and enabling seamless integration with existing plant automation. Fieldbus compatibility and optional IO adapters offer scalable networking and simplified integration with PLCs, SCADA, and MES systems, improving data visibility and fault isolation. The ability to add a control power transformer and software options provides flexibility for customization, reducing the need for separate enclosures and easing maintenance. Up to 150 HP support ensures this box handles medium to large drive applications, with the back-panel design saving space and improving serviceability. Overall, it accelerates installation, lowers total cost of ownership, and enhances system reliability in challenging industrial environments.
