FAQs
This ABB drive module is designed for LV AC speed control on general purpose motors up to 1.5 kW at 230 V. Plan for a straightforward connection to 230 V supply with standard motor terminals and ingress protection suitable for your panel. Use the built‑in setup assistants to configure basic motor parameters, and verify motor nameplate ratings to ensure current and torque requirements align with the 7.8 A rating. For best results, follow the ACS480‑04‑07A8‑1 configuration notes and ensure control wiring is separated from power cables to minimize noise and EMI.
The unit supports a nominal power of 1.5 kW with a current capacity of 7.8 A at 230 V, making it suitable for light to medium torque applications. With built‑in speed control and variable torque capability, you can reduce motor running energy, especially in fans and conveyors, compared with fixed‑speed drives. Efficiency gains come from smoother acceleration, reduced mechanical wear, and optimized motor loading. Ensure the motor’s efficiency class and load profile match the drive’s capabilities to maximize energy savings.
Yes. The ACS480‑02/ACS480 family is designed for light industrial applications, including compressors, fans, and conveyors. Its cabinet‑optimized packaging and built‑in setup tools simplify deployment in logistics hubs, food and beverage lines, and water/wastewater facilities where reliable speed control and compact control panels are advantageous. When selecting for a specific industry, validate hygienic or environmental requirements and confirm IP/safety certifications with your supplier configuration to ensure full compliance.
Typical industrial drive deployments require CE compliance and appropriate enclosure protection; however, exact certification status depends on configuration. Verify CE marking, safety and EMC standards, and any industry‑specific certifications applicable to your plant. Check the datasheet and your order configuration for the precise approvals. If your project demands SIL readiness or IP ratings, confirm these with the supplier and ensure the installation meets the plant risk assessment and safety program requirements.
The drive module reduces maintenance complexity with built‑in diagnostics and a straightforward user interface, lowering labor costs and downtime during fault finding. The compact, cabinet‑optimized design lowers initial installation costs and enables easier replacement in legacy panels. Over time, improved motor control and energy efficiency reduce operating expenses, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership for light industrial lines such as packaging, material handling, and process equipment.
