FAQs
Installation starts with mounting the ACS180 in a standard enclosure, followed by wiring the supply, motor, and fieldbus connections per the installation manual. Ensure correct voltage (400 V), motor ratings (up to 15 kW), and proper protective devices. Use the ABB UI for quick parameterization, and verify motor protection settings, decoupling, and earth connections to minimize EMI and noise.
The unit supports a nominal power of 15 kW with a current rating of 32 A at 400 V input. For motor sizing, note the UL listing corresponding to 20 Hp and 27 A at 460 V as referenced for the ACS180 family. Use these figures to select compatible motors and protective devices, ensuring safe and reliable operation in your application.
Yes. The ACS180 is designed for pumps, fans and conveyors, delivering smooth speed control, energy efficiency, and simplified commissioning. Its compact footprint helps in restricted panels, and its architecture aligns with ABB’s drive ecosystem, enabling consistent configuration and diagnostics across multiple devices in HVAC and process applications.
The ACS180 variant described is UL-listed for safety. For regulatory compliance in your region, verify CE marking and IP ratings on the specific variant datasheet or product page. Certification availability can vary by market, motor, and enclosure requirements, so consult ABB documentation or your supplier to confirm applicable certifications before deployment.
Expected ROI stems from energy savings from efficient motor control, reduced wear due to soft-start and smoother speed transitions, and lower commissioning costs thanks to a consistent ABB interface. In practice, projects with pumps, fans, or conveyors typically realize shorter startup times, better process control, and lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s life cycle.
