FAQs
The 3AXD50000716609 ACS180 module is designed for LV AC motors up to 1.5 kW (Pn) and operates from a 230 V supply with a rated current around 7.8 A. It supports common industrial loads such as pumps, fans, conveyors, winders, and mixers. For precise compatibility, consult the datasheet and motor nameplate to confirm current limits, wiring, and protection requirements.
Core specs include 1.5 kW nominal power (Pn) with a 7.8 A current at 230 V input, and UL-rated performance equivalent to Pld 2 Hp with about 7.5 A. These values place the drive in the small to medium motor control segment, suitable for compact automation cells and OEM machinery where reliable speed control is needed.
Yes. The module aligns with UL listing requirements and uses IEC-based performance frameworks to ensure safety and interoperability within ABB’s all-compatible drive portfolio. This combination supports regulatory compliance during audits and simplifies integration in facilities that rely on standard electrical safety and performance benchmarks.
Begin with confirming input power quality and wiring per the 230 V supply, then mount the drive in a protected enclosure with adequate cooling. Use the ABB setup wizard to configure motor parameters, ramp rates, and limits, and perform a software health check. Finalize with commissioning tests on load to verify ramping, protection, and fault handling before production start.
The drive contributes to ROI through energy savings from optimized motor speed control, reduced wear from soft-start ramping, and higher overall equipment reliability. Its compatibility with ABB’s portfolio simplifies spares and maintenance, lowers training requirements, and supports a consistent, scalable control strategy across multiple lines, delivering predictable maintenance cycles and lower lifecycle costs.
