Quick Summary

The ABB ACS880 Extension Box adds an integrated enclosure to a wall-mounted drive for fusing and control devices. This approach reduces cabinet space and installation time by housing input fuses and a local disconnect inside a single box. UL-listed safety enclosure is a core requirement for industrial deployments, while CE compliance and IP-rated protection are common expectations in global projects. By combining these elements with fieldbus readiness and scalable options, this solution delivers faster ROI and safer, more reliable operation. Designed for industries such as oil and gas, chemical processing, mining, and material handling, it simplifies procurement and maintenance while enabling streamlined automation workflows.

Product Information

Extended Description

3AUA0000201072 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.
