FAQs
The ACS180 drives use a common ABB architecture and interfaces, easing retrofit with existing 400 V motor circuits. It supports standard fieldbus options and built-in motor protection, minimizing wiring changes. For upgrades, verify motor rating matches the 3 kW (Pn) capability and ensure control panel space accommodates the compact footprint for straightforward commissioning.
Key specs include a 3 kW (Pn) rating, 7.2 A current, and 400 V operation with suitable UL configurations. For pumps or fans, set appropriate speed ranges, acceleration/deceleration ramps, and torque limits to balance efficiency with system inertia. Leverage the device’s built-in protection and parameter libraries to optimize startup and steady-state performance.
Yes. The ACS180 is designed for conveyors and packaging lines, delivering smooth start/stop, precise speed control, and reliable overload protection. Its compact form factor simplifies panel integration, while the shared ABB drives interface reduces operator training, enabling consistent performance across multiple conveyors and feeder lines.
The ACS180 supports IEC-based power specifications and UL listings, including Pld ratings for the configured voltage. When selecting for regulated environments, confirm UL compliance for the target voltage (460 V) and verify any region-specific CE or IP considerations in your installation site documentation.
The integrated features and common UI reduce commissioning time and operator training, lowering startup costs. Built-in protection minimizes unscheduled maintenance, while energy-efficient speed control reduces motor energy consumption. Over time, the shared architecture across ABB drives simplifies spare parts provisioning and firmware updates, improving long-term ROI on machinery across pumps, fans, and conveyors.
