FAQs
Integration typically requires a suitably sized cabinet enclosure to house the drive, proper cabling for motor and power connections, and compatible mounting rails. Ensure the panel provides adequate cooling, clearance for maintenance access, and electrical protection per project standards. Leverage the built-in diagnostics to verify wiring integrity and commissioning readiness before startup.
Key specifications include a power range of 160 to 3200 kW and the ACS880-17 platform, which supports flexible control modes and standard interfaces. The regenerative capability enables energy recovery during braking, while the cabinet-built design supports reliable operation in demanding industrial environments. These features translate to improved process control and energy efficiency at scale.
Yes. The 160–3200 kW regenerative drive is well-suited for mining and metals where high power, frequent deceleration, and energy recovery are common. Its cabinet-built enclosure offers robust protection, while integrated diagnostics support uptime and predictive maintenance. Consider enclosure cooling, environmental conditions, and integration with existing SCADA or PLC systems for optimal results.
Typical configurations align with CE conformity and IEC safety guidelines, with optional SIL-level protection for critical processes and IP-rated cabinet protection depending on enclosure and application. It’s important to validate the exact configuration with the supplier to confirm the specific standards met for your project and region.
Expect reduced energy costs from regenerative braking, faster commissioning due to cabinet-built integration, and lower downtime through built-in diagnostics and remote monitoring. Over time, these factors contribute to a favorable return on investment by improving plant efficiency, reliability, and asset lifespan.
