FAQs
Installation begins with confirming supply voltage and motor ratings (3 kW, 400 V, 7.2 A) and selecting the appropriate enclosure (IP21 standard or IP55 option). The drive offers plug-in readiness and a guided setup interface, minimizing wiring changes and enabling a smooth retrofit or new installation alongside existing ACS580-01 components. Proper wiring, shielding, and commissioning routines ensure reliable control of loads such as compressors and conveyors.
The unit is specified for 3 kW output with a current of 7.2 A at 400 V. It is a wall-mounted LV AC drive designed for general purpose torque control. The standard enclosure is IP21, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available. This combination supports conventional light-industrial applications while maintaining safe operation and straightforward integration with common ABB control systems.
Yes, the ACS580-01 family drives including 3AXD50000038968 provide robust torque control suitable for both constant and variable torque applications. The drive’s built‑in features, diagnostics, and configurable ramping help manage high inertia loads by delivering smooth acceleration, reliable speed regulation, and protection against motor stalls, reducing wear and energy usage on extrusion and mixing lines.
The standard enclosure is IP21, designed for light industrial environments. For harsher or wash-down friendly environments, IP55 and flange mounting variants are available. These options expand applicability to food & beverage, material handling, and other settings where higher ingress protection and mounting flexibility are desirable.
Built‑in diagnostics, intuitive configuration, and a robust design help minimize downtime and maintenance costs. The drive enables energy-efficient speed control for fans, pumps, and conveyors, delivering measurable savings over time. Quick commissioning and reduced hardware requirements also shorten project lead times and improve overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in light-industrial applications.
