Product Information
Energy efficiency and precise torque control: The ACS800-01-0020-5 delivers up to 15 kW of continuous power with a 25 A current limit, enabling smooth motor ramping and accurate speed regulation. This directly reduces energy consumption in duty-cycle sensitive applications such as conveyors and pumps, while extending motor life through controlled acceleration. Application-wise, it shines in mid-range automation lines where reliable, stable motor control translates to higher throughput and lower scrap rates. Protection and reliability: Integrated fault detection, overcurrent protection, and thermal monitoring minimize unplanned stops. The drive's robust protection mechanisms guard motors against voltage sags and short circuits, which is crucial in harsh manufacturing environments. This translates to lower maintenance costs and less downtime in process industries, with predictable performance across varying loads and temperatures. Installation and compatibility: The ACS800-01-0020-5 offers straightforward wiring for 3-phase power and simple parameterization, reducing commissioning time. It integrates with ABB control systems and standard industrial networks, enabling seamless data exchange and remote diagnostics. This compatibility supports faster panel integration, easier spare-part planning, and scalable expansion across multiple lines. Industry context and value: In packaging, materials handling, and processing plants, a reliable 15 kW, 25 A drive helps meet efficiency and uptime mandates. Built-in energy optimization features and diagnostics support a lower total cost of ownership. Practical experiences from engineers show that configuring appropriate control loops and ramp rates yields measurable gains in throughput and energy savings.

FAQs
Begin by ensuring a compliant 3-phase supply, connect L1-L3 to the drive, mount in a suitable enclosure, and set basic parameters for voltage and motor catalog values. Verify rated current and short-circuit protection is rated at 25A. Use the provided wiring diagram to minimize wiring errors and commission with the standard control interface.
The ACS800-01-0020-5 excels in conveyors, pumps, fans, and mixers, where stable speed control improves throughput and reduces mechanical wear. Its 15kW power rating and 25A current threshold make it ideal for mid-range automation tasks in packaging, materials handling, and process industries.
Check for CE conformity as a baseline requirement for European operations. Review enclosure protection options (IP-rated variants) for your environment and ensure appropriate guarding. For safety-critical processes, plan for SIL-ready modules and ensure proper integration with your plant’s safety systems and control architecture.
By delivering energy-efficient operation and extended motor life through smooth starts and controlled ramping, the drive lowers energy costs and reduces equipment wear. Built-in diagnostics aid proactive maintenance, minimizing unplanned downtime and shortening spare-parts cycles across conveyors and pumps.
Start with basic parameter setup for motor type and voltage, then configure acceleration/deceleration ramps, control mode, and feedback settings. Use auto-tuning if available to optimize torque, and validate with a test run on the target conveyor or pump to ensure stable steady-state speed and minimal overshoot.
