FAQs
Begin by ensuring a 230 V supply and verify the 1.5 kW power rating meets your blower or pump requirements. Follow the ACH180 wiring diagram for L, N, and motor connections, observe proper grounding, and mount the module in a protected, ventilated panel. Use the built-in diagnostics to confirm correct orientation, terminate control circuits correctly, and perform a low-speed test before full load commissioning.
The module operates at 1.5 kW with a nominal current around 7.8 A and 230 V input, with UL Pld 2.0 Hp (7.5 A) at 208 V for compatible configurations. It supports HVACR applications with variable speed control, enabling smooth starts, reduced motor wear, and energy-efficient operation in fans and pumps commonly found in commercial buildings.
Yes. The LV AC micro drive provides precise speed control, enabling significant energy savings in fans and pumps by matching load demand to actual conditions. Its compact form factor eases installation in retrofit panels, while diagnostics and protected operation minimize downtime. When integrated with building automation, it supports demand-based scheduling and improved occupant comfort with reduced operating costs.
This ABB drive is UL-listed, ensuring safety certification for electrical equipment. It is designed to be IEC-compatible for HVACR applications, aligning with European standards for HVAC controls. These certifications and design considerations help meet safety and compliance requirements for commercial installations while delivering reliable performance in harsh environments.
Expect a rapid ROI from energy savings due to accurate variable-speed control of fans and pumps, reduced wear from soft-start operations, and lower maintenance costs thanks to integrated diagnostics. The compact design also lowers enclosure and wiring needs, shortening installation time and minimizing spare-parts inventory across projects.
