ABB 3AXD50000814466 LV AC machinery drive module - 18.5 kW
Part Number: 3AXD50000814466
Quick Summary
ABB ACS180 3AXD50000814466 LV AC drive module provides precise variable-speed control for pumps, fans, and conveyors. Engineers often struggle with integrating compact drives that share architecture across families, forcing duplicated training and slowing commissioning. This solution aligns with CE certification and robust IP-rated enclosure options, and ABB’s all-compatible drives architecture provides a consistent user interface across projects. Together, these attributes translate to faster deployments and lower total cost of ownership in automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000814466 ABB: The ACS180 is a compact, robust, and adaptable variable speed drive (VSD) for applications such as pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, winders and mixers.This easy-to-use compact VSD offers excellent performance and quality at superior value with all essential machinery application features embedded. And as a member of ABB=E2=80=99s all-compatible drives portfolio, it shares the same architecture and user interfaces for ease of use.
The ACS180 LV AC machinery drive module is compact and robust, designed to fit in tighter control cabinets while withstanding challenging factory environments. This translates to a smaller footprint, fewer enclosure modifications, and lower installation risk for pumps, fans, and conveyors in water treatment, packaging, and processing lines. The 18.5 kW, 38 A drive is well suited to tasks requiring reliable speed control without overbuilding the system, helping you meet performance targets in space-constrained installations. A key benefit is the shared architecture across ABB’s all-compatible drives portfolio, which means technicians navigate the same setup screens and parameter naming from ACS180 to other ABB VSDs, reducing training time and accelerating commissioning. This continuity also simplifies spare-parts planning and lowers lifecycle costs for multi-machine installations such as food-and-beverage lines or plastics processing. Embedded essential machine features reduce the need for external add-ons, delivering a consolidated control solution for pumps, fans, compressors, conveyors, winders, and mixers. This lowers bill-of-materials, speeds up start-up, and improves diagnostic visibility, enabling proactive maintenance and uptime guarantees across industrial automation projects. Installation and compatibility advantages arise because the ACS180 shares architecture and UI with ABB's drive portfolio, allowing the same engineering workflow and easing retrofits. From an industry perspective, the module supports faster commissioning, reduced training time, and a clear path to future upgrades, delivering measurable ROI through energy savings and reduced maintenance overhead.

FAQs
Plan for a compact footprint and ensure adequate heat dissipation within the control panel. The ACS180 module is designed to fit standard industrial enclosures and should be wired to a three-phase supply compatible with an 18.5 kW motor. Verify wiring matches the 38 A current rating and align parameter naming with other ABB drives to minimize commissioning time and training needs.
You can expect a true 18.5 kW output with up to 38 A current, delivering precise speed control for induction motors. The unit supports smooth start/stop, torque control suitable for varying load, and energy-efficient operation across pumps and fans. Ensure motor compatibility and match drive settings to your process load profiles for optimal performance.
Yes. The ACS180 is designed for conveyors and winders, offering compact size and dependable speed control for belt-driven or spool-based systems. The drive’s shared ABB architecture simplifies control strategies across equipment, enabling consistent protection features, easier tuning, and safer startup in automated material handling lines.
The ACS180 family is designed for CE-compliant operation and integrates with standard safety practices in industrial environments. While exact IP ratings depend on enclosure choice, ABB drives are built to meet common protection and safety requirements for machine-building and panel assembly, supporting compliant, reliable operation in factory automation projects.
Energy-efficient variable-speed control reduces motor energy consumption, delivering ongoing running-cost savings. Embedded machine features lower the need for external accessories, while a uniform ABB interface shortens training and spare-parts complexity. Over the life of the system, this translates to quicker deployments, easier upgrades, and a favorable return on investment through reduced maintenance and downtime.
