FAQs
The ACH550-01-096A-4+B055 is designed to integrate with a wide range of three-phase motors and control architectures. Verify motor nameplate current, wiring topology, and control signals to ensure seamless interconnection with your PLC/SCADA. ABB's documentation and commissioning software streamline parameter import, reducing setup time and errors during retrofit projects.
Key specifications include a 45 kW output and an I2n nominal current of 96 A, with an IP54 enclosure providing rugged protection against dust and moisture. While voltage range specifics aren’t listed here, ensure your supply aligns with the drive’s configured voltage class and that motor current matches the I2n rating to avoid overloading.
Yes. The 45 kW, 96 A configuration supports medium to large motors used in pumps, fans, and conveyors. The drive’s soft-start, dynamic braking, and torque control capabilities enhance system performance, reduce mechanical stress, and improve process stability across rotating equipment in manufacturing and water/wastewater facilities.
The ACH550 series commonly carries CE marking for European compliance and IP54 protection for enclosure integrity. This combination supports safe operation in restricted environments and helps satisfy regulatory requirements for many global applications, though you should verify any region-specific standards or SIL-related safety requirements for your application.
Implementing the ACH550-01-096A-4+B055 can reduce energy costs through efficient speed control and smoother motor operation, contributing to a favorable ROI over its lifecycle. Maintenance is typically reduced due to fewer electrical faults from dust/moisture exposure and the drive’s robust IP54 rating, though regular firmware updates and periodic inspection of cabling remain important.
