FAQs
Install the 3AXD50001001988 as a standalone drive or as part of an ABB-drive network by following the Type 4X / IP66 enclosure guidelines. Ensure proper enclosure sealing, surge protection, and correct wiring to 240 V supply. Use the built-in setup assistants to align motor parameters, apply safe-stop and watchdog features, and integrate with your PLC or SCADA for coordinated control.
The drive is rated for 20 HP (horsepower), 59 A, at 240 V. It features a rugged Type 4X / IP66 enclosure, NSF 169 certification for splash zones, and is suitable for water/wastewater and other harsh environments. Plan for required cooling, potential external filters, and network communications compatible with your plant architecture.
Yes. The NSF 169 certification supports performance in food splash zones, enabling compliance for installations in food and beverage facilities. When used in such environments, pair it with appropriate clean-in-place (CIP) protocols and corrosion-rated cabling to maintain long-term reliability.
Key certifications include Type 4X / IP66 protection, and NSF 169 for splash zones in food processing areas. Ensure compliance with local electrical codes, maintain appropriate ingress protection, and verify compatible sealing and electrical ratings for your application, especially in coastal or chemical-heavy environments.
Expected ROI comes from reduced downtime due to rugged enclosure, lower maintenance frequency in splash-prone areas, and energy-efficient drive control. The NSF 169 certification also helps minimize compliance costs in food-related facilities. A faster setup pipeline and robust reliability translate to shorter project cycles and lower lifecycle costs.
