ABB 3AXD50000716562 ACS180 Drive Module - 0.37 kW
Part Number: 3AXD50000716562
Quick Summary
ACS180 drive module is a compact variable-speed drive for LV AC machinery in pumps, fans, and conveyors. Engineers often struggle with lengthy commissioning, inconsistent interfaces, and limited diagnostics when integrating disparate drives, which can lead to extended downtime and higher project risk. UL-listed for 230 V operation (0.5 Hp) and designed to share ABB's all-compatible drive architecture, this module offers familiar setup, consistent programming, and easier maintenance across ABB's drive family. The result is faster deployment, reduced training needs, and lower total cost of ownership, with a clear path to scalable control for small to mid-size automation tasks and improved energy efficiency across applications.

FAQs
For reliable results, mount the module in a clean, well-ventilated panel with adequate clearance for cooling. Use dedicated 230 V supply lines capable of at least 2.4 A continuous current, and route motor and control cables separately to minimize EMI. Leverage ABB’s common UI and parameter sets to reduce commissioning time and ensure consistent behavior with other ACS/ABB drives in the same plant.
The 0.37 kW variant provides smooth speed control, reliable soft-start and ramp functions, and precise motor regulation for modest torque demands. In pumps and fans, you’ll gain energy efficiency through optimized duty cycles and reduced mechanical wear. The compact VSD integrates essential machine features, which simplifies protection and monitoring without extra accessory components.
Yes. The compact, robust design and 230 V all-in-one control make it well-suited for light to medium-load conveyors and winders. Its 2.4 A current support provides adequate torque control for steady speeds, while the unified ABB drive architecture helps maintain consistent programming, diagnostics, and maintenance across multiple drive types in a single facility.
The data confirms UL listing for 230 V operation (Pld 0.5 Hp), which supports procurement and safety compliance in many regions. The provided information does not specify CE marks or IP ratings. For exact regulatory coverage in your region or industry, consult ABB or your authorised distributor to confirm regional certifications and any additional compliance requirements.
Benefits include reduced maintenance due to fewer external components and a simplified spare-part strategy thanks to ABB’s common-drive architecture. Energy savings arise from optimized speed control and smoother motor operation, while training and commissioning time drop because technicians reuse familiar interfaces and programming approaches across the ABB drive family. Over time this translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster project deployment.
