FAQs
For a smooth installation, mount the drive on a stable wall or panel with adequate ventilation and access for wiring. Leverage the integrated low harmonic filter to minimize external components, reducing shutdown risk during commissioning. Ensure compatible power supply polarity and verify input voltage tolerance (AC 500 V class) to maintain performance across load variations.
Expect up to 110 kW nominal power with 180 A current at 500 V input. The drive’s low harmonic design minimizes distortion, improving motor efficiency and life. Torque stability is maintained through output voltage boost and power factor correction, delivering reliable operation across varying conveyor loads and start/stop cycles.
Yes. The ACS880-31-180A-5 is designed for demanding industrial settings like oil & gas, mining, metals, and cement plants. Its compact, integrated architecture reduces external components, while the robust power electronics and safety features support reliable operation in harsh environments when paired with compliant enclosure and installation practices.
The drive is CE compliant and UL-recognized, ensuring safety, electrical reliability, and interoperability with standard plant equipment. These certifications support regulatory compliance during procurement, minimize risk in audits, and facilitate safer integration with other certified control systems in industrial facilities.
Integrated filtration and a compact form factor reduce BOM and installation time, cutting upfront and ongoing costs. Energy efficiency from harmonics reduction lowers operating expenses, while fewer external filters and simpler wiring minimize maintenance intervals and spare-part inventories, delivering faster payback in conveyor, pump, and crane applications.
