ABB UK ACS55-01 micro drive benefits to simple home applications
The ABB UK ACS55 micro drives bring speed control benefits to a wide variety of applications such as fans, pumps, material handling systems. The ACS55 is particularly suited to single phase residential and commercial applications and avoid the special cabling and installation costs associated with three-phase supplies.
ABB ACS55 micro drives are compact and slim. Several mounting methods like DIN rail mounting make it easy to fit the drives into a variety of cabinet designs. The drive is programmed by switches and potentiometers. The drives work with single phase power and are suitable for domestic environments.
In automatic gates
The drive controls the motor that moves the gate’s barrier up and down. The drive provides the barrier with smooth start and stop, thereby reducing maintenance costs. A slim design allows installation of the drive in the restrictive space associated with gate enclosures.
In solar trackers
The drive controls the electric motor that turns the solar panel to track the sun. With a wide temperature range up to 55 °C, the drive can be used in environments with diverse ambient temperature. The DriveConfig kit provides a quick and safe way to configure multiple drives for hundreds or even thousands of solar trackers.
In treadmills
The drive controls the speed of the motor powering the running belt. The drive offers high torque and accurate speed control throughout the treadmill’s speed range providing smooth acceleration and deceleration for the user. Audible noise is reduced through the drive switching at higher frequencies. A built-in 1st environment EMC filter as standard provides low EMC emissions in all environments.
In whirlpool baths
The drive controls the pump that generates the pool’s water jets. The user controls the start, stop and power of the jets via a user interface connected to the drive’s I/O. The drive provides silent operation by using a high switching frequency. The drive’s heat sink for cooling enables the drive to be enclosed to a high protection class enclosure.
