FAQs
When installing the ACS800-U31-0100-5, ensure correct enclosure protection (IP rating suitable for the environment), proper mounting orientation to aid cooling, and adequate electrical cabling with appropriate gauge for 139A current. Verify supply voltage compatibility, proper grounding, and shielded communication wiring to minimize EMI. Confirm available space for heat dissipation and fieldbus interfaces.
Pcont.max of 90 kW defines the continuous power the drive can deliver to the motor, directly impacting torque and speed range. Icont.max of 139 A sets the maximum current allowed, limiting motor load capacity and influencing protection thresholds. Together they determine feasible motor sizing, peak torque, and safe operation under startup transients in pumps and conveyors.
Yes. The drive is designed for demanding process applications requiring smooth speed variation and reliable torque control. For pumps, it provides soft-start to prevent water hammer and energy-efficient operation; for conveyors, it maintains consistent belt speed with minimal drive train stress. It integrates with standard plant controllers and supports scalable automation.
The ACS800-U31-0100-5 commonly carries CE safety certification and IP-rated protection suitable for industrial environments. Depending on the region, it may also support additional approvals (UL, cUL) and SIL-capable safety configurations when specified. Always verify the exact certification package with your ABB distributor based on your installation location and risk assessment.
ROI comes from energy savings through precise speed control and reduced mechanical wear from soft-start ramps. The drive's diagnostics simplify maintenance planning by predicting faults before failures, lowering unplanned downtime. A standard maintenance plan includes periodic filter and cooling checks, software updates, and spare part availability for long-term asset reliability.
