Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000158997 ABB: Flange mounting (push through mounting) version of ACS880-04
Flange mounting and the push-through design deliver a compact footprint and straightforward mechanical assembly. This directly reduces cabinet depth, alignment effort, and wiring complexity, speeding up commissioning on new lines and retrofit projects. The solution fits machine frames in packaging, conveyors, and injection systems where space is at a premium. High power capability supports up to 710 kW IEC, 721 A at 690 V, making this module suitable for demanding motors in heavy-duty processes. By consolidating drive and motor control in a single enclosure, plant engineers can reduce the number of drives in a line, simplify spare parts inventories, and improve system reliability in long-running operations like pumps and crushers. Compatibility with the ACS880-04F-721A-7 variant delivers consistent performance within the ACS880 family, ensuring familiar parameter sets and protection features for installers. This translates to faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and smoother upgrades when modernizing older equipment. Operators benefit from uniform control logic and clearer diagnostics across multiple lines. Integration with ABB's control ecosystem supports streamlined commissioning, fieldbus connectivity, and safer operation through built-in protection functions. The modular design minimizes panel space and enables flexible cabling layouts, which reduces installation costs and future expansion pain points. Industry teams can justify the investment by achieving higher uptime and lower energy waste in continuous processes. Industrial environments demand reliable cooling, robust enclosure options, and predictable service intervals. The ACS880-04F family’s proven reliability, combined with flange mounting, helps technicians perform maintenance with minimal disassembly. This translates to lower maintenance costs and longer mean time between failures while maintaining precise motor speed control across varying load conditions.

FAQs
Designed for high-power LV motor drives, the ABB 3AXD50000158997 is well suited to conveyors, pumps, fans, and heavy machinery used in packaging, metals processing, and mining. It combines a flange-mounted, push-through form with a 710 kW IEC rating and 690 V operation, enabling compact installation in tight machine frames while delivering robust speed control and reliable operation across load profiles.
Install the flange-mounted drive module using the push-through mounting method to minimize panel depth and simplify cable routing. Align the drive with the mechanical shaft and fasten with standard mounting hardware; keep motor cables short and route control and power cables separately to reduce interference. This approach shortens commissioning time and reduces cabinet complexity on new lines or retrofit projects.
Yes. With 710 kW nominal power and 721 A at 690 V, this drive handles demanding motors in conveyors and pumping systems. It's designed for continuous operation in harsh environments, offering reliable torque delivery and smooth speed control. Using this module can reduce the number of drives in a line and improve energy efficiency and process stability. It also aligns with the ACS880-04F family for consistent performance.
Plan for standard industrial certifications typical for LV drives, including CE safety compliance and appropriate IP enclosure levels for the installation environment. While the exact product data does not specify a formal certification list, selecting a drive in the ACS880 family supports alignment with ABB’s safety and regulatory frameworks and helps ease audits for manufacturing and process facilities.
Deploying this high-power flange-mounted drive can yield faster commissioning, reduced panel space, and fewer components to service in a line, contributing to lower total cost of ownership. The integrated drive functions provide predictable performance, while ABB’s ecosystem supports remote monitoring and diagnostics, helping maintenance teams plan preventative actions and extend mean time between failures in continuous operation environments.
