FAQs
Begin with confirming motor ratings and supply compatibility, then mount the drive per enclosure guidelines. Wire power, motor, and control connections following the ABB installation manual, configure network settings for PLC or HMI integration, and perform a factory reset to verify baseline parameters. Use a staged commissioning approach with test loads to minimize startup risk.
Pcont.max is 18,5 kW, indicating the continuous motor power the drive can support, while Icont.max is 31 A, representing the maximum controllable current. These values guide motor selection for conveyors, pumps, and fans and influence thermal design, cabling, and protection settings in your control architecture.
Yes. The ACS800-11-0020-5 offers precise speed control, smooth acceleration/deceleration, and programmable torque profiles, all of which reduce mechanical wear and product damage. Its integration with ABB automation enables centralized monitoring and predictive maintenance, helping packaging lines achieve higher uptime and consistent throughput.
Verify regional compliance requirements such as CE marking for European installations, and confirm any local or industry-specific approvals (UL/CSA or others as applicable). Check the exact unit variant for its documented protections and certifications, since these can vary by region and configuration.
Expect reductions in energy consumption due to optimized drive control, along with lower maintenance costs from smoother motor operation and fewer torque peaks. Maintenance benefits include easier diagnostics via ABB-compatible interfaces and longer motor life. Plan for standard spare parts and firmware updates to sustain performance over time.
