ABB ACS800-01-0005-5 Variateur AC basse tension ACS800

Product Overview

The ABB ACS800-01-0005-5 is a wall-mounted low voltage AC drive belonging to the ACS800 industrial series. It is designed for precise speed and torque control of three-phase induction motors in demanding industrial applications. Operating on a 380 V to 500 V input supply, this drive is rated for a nominal output power of 3 kW (4 hp) with a continuous output current of 6.2 A.

Built on a compact R2 frame size, the ACS800-01 architecture utilizes Direct Torque Control (DTC) technology, providing high performance without the mandatory requirement for encoder feedback in many variable torque and constant torque applications. Common deployments include centrifugal pumps, industrial fans, small conveyors, and mixers. The unit includes an integrated choke for harmonic mitigation and offers extensive I/O expandability for integration into DCS and PLC-controlled environments.

Engineering & Installation Guide

EMC and Shielding:

To comply with EMC Category C2/C3, utilize symmetrical shielded motor cables. Ensure the cable shield is grounded 360 degrees at both the drive end (using the internal grounding plate) and the motor end. Control cabling must be kept separate from power cabling by at least 200 mm to prevent inductive interference.

Cooling and Cabinet Ventilation:

The ACS800-01 R2 frame dissipates heat through an internal cooling fan. Ensure a minimum clearance of 200 mm above and below the drive and 0 mm on the sides for modular mounting. If installing multiple units in a single enclosure, verify that the total absolute loss (max 84 W for this model) does not exceed the cabinet's heat dissipation capacity.

Grounding and Safety:

The drive must be grounded to the protective earth (PE) busbar. The leakage current typically exceeds 3.5 mA AC; therefore, a fixed protective earth connection is mandatory. In IT (ungrounded) networks, the internal EMC filter must be disconnected to avoid damage to the drive's internal circuitry.

Lifecycle and Maintenance:

The ACS800-01 series is a mature product line. For new installations, verify the current lifecycle status (Active/Classic/Limited/Obsolete) with technical support. It is recommended to maintain a stock of R2 frame cooling fans and control panels (CDP-312R) to minimize downtime.

Hardware FAQ

Q: Can this drive operate a motor in heavy-duty applications?

A: Yes, but the rating must be downsized to 2.2 kW with a continuous current limit of 4.2 A. This provides the necessary 150% overload capacity for 1 minute every 5 minutes.

Q: What is the significance of the "5" at the end of the model code?

A: The suffix "-5" indicates the voltage range of 380 V to 500 V. It is not compatible with 690 V networks.

Q: Is a separate brake chopper required?

A: The ACS800-01-0005-5 (R2 frame) typically requires an external brake resistor for regenerative braking, but verify if the internal brake chopper is fitted as an option (+D150).

Q: What control panel is compatible with this unit?

A: The drive is compatible with the CDP-312R control panel.
