ABB 3AXD50001071882 ACS280 Drive - 3kW, 7.2A
Part Number: 3AXD50001071882
Quick Summary
The ABB ACS280 drive is a compact motor controller used to optimize motor control in CNCs, conveyors, and packaging lines. Engineers often struggle with uneven torque, lengthy commissioning, and costly downtime when upgrading aging drive fleets. It carries CE conformity for safety and EMC compliance, with ABB's broader drive family offering optional SIL-rated safety features and IP-rated enclosures depending on configuration. This makes the ACS280 a practical choice for machine builders seeking reliability and repeatable performance. The design supports efficient motor control, aligns with common automation workflows, and reduces total cost of ownership through easier maintenance and faster onboarding of new lines.
Product Information
Compact form factor and 3 kW output with a 7.2 A input reduce cabinet footprint and cooling needs, cutting installation and energy costs. This enables tighter machine layouts and easier maintenance access, boosting uptime. It is well-suited for packaging lines and mid-size conveyors where space and reliability matter most. Easy commissioning and straightforward parameterization shorten setup times, lowering commissioning labor and accelerating time-to-first-run. Operators gain repeatable performance through stored profiles and safety features that reduce human error, which is especially valuable during line upgrades in food packaging and consumer goods manufacturing. The ACS280 offers built-in diagnostics and robust protection, enabling faster fault detection and lower unscheduled downtime, supporting high-availability lines in automation environments. Efficient motor control and energy-saving operation contribute to lower energy use and fewer heat cycles during continuous processing. Compatibility within the ABB ecosystem and standard interfaces simplify procurement, spare-parts strategies, and multi-motor system deployments across diverse applications.
