ABB’s new ACS480 | the essential VSD for energy efficiency in motors.

 

Part of ABB’s all-compatible drives range, the new ACS480 is a general-purpose inverter drive offering users with optimised energy efficiency in a simple drive for fans, pumps, and similar applications from 0.70 to 11kW three phase 380/480V.

 

The ACS480 is an IP20, all-compatible ABB general purpose drive specifically designed to optimize pump, fan and compressor operations in an energy efficient and simple manner. In a compact package, users get the functionality they need to effortlessly and intuitively control many standard applications.

 

The ACS480 drive has all essential functions such as PID, pump and fan macros and timers built inside and is therefore optimized to manage common variable-torque applications via numerous integrated and pre-programmed features. Inbuilt EMC C2 filter secures compliance with the latest European and international standards allowing the drive to be used in industrial and commercial (building) environments. To protect both people and machinery, the drive comes with key safety functions such as a TÜV-certified safe torque off (STO) as standard.

 

CONNECTIVITY

The ACS480 is enabled for connectivity to most common automation networks and has Bluetooth capability for easy configuration of the drive and monitoring of parameters with mobile devices. With its straightforward control panel settings menu, the ACS480 is easy to start up, commission and operate. Fieldbus adapter options include PROFIBUS DP, EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP, PROFINET IO.

 

Energy reduction and efficiency

Energy reduction is the number one focus area for the ACS480 and the built-in energy optimizer gives easy direct access to critical energy efficiency information, helping users monitor and systematically reduce the amount of energy used in their processes for big savings on energy bills. The new drive also supports synchronous reluctance motors for even greater efficiency and savings.

 

SCALABILITY

The ACS480 shares the same user interface, tools and options as other ABB all-compatible drives, making selection, installation and operation extremely easy. The new ACS480 general purpose drive complements the ACS580 drive series up to 250kW, allowing seamless scalability from the ACS480 to the ACS580 whenever more power or features may be needed.
