ABB general purpose drives ACS480 0.37 to 22 kW

Efficiency and simplicity for many applications

All the essential features are built-in, which makes the drive

suitable for a broad range of applications. Built-in features

and components simplify drive selection and reduce

the need for additional hardware. The user-friendly,

functionality-focused menu with multiple languages on

the ACS480 control panel provides smart and quick

commissioning and startup of the drive. Users can also

upgrade the panel to an optimal Bluetooth control panel for

wireless commissioning and monitoring. Primary settings

and integrated macros are designed to make setting

parameters and commissioning as simple as possible

with only a few clicks.

Scalable offering

What if you require even more flexibility? You can choose

the next member of the all-compatible drives portfolio,

such as the ACS580 general purpose drive, or for even more

demanding applications, the ACS880 is there to help you.

These drives share similar user interfaces and options,

enabling you to use the knowledge you have gained with

the ACS480 drives. You increasingly keep saving time,

as it is not wasted on learning one new interface after

another. And saving time translates to saving money and

improving profit potential.

Instant availability

ACS480 products are available from central stocks around

the world for immediate delivery. The product is also

widely available from ABB distributors.

Maximum reliability

Design features like coated circuit boards, minimized

airflow through the control board section, earth fault

protection and design for 50 °C ambient temperature make

the ACS480 a safe choice. These features prolong the

lifetime of the drives and protect your applications from

unexpected downtimes. In addition, all the units are

tested during production in maximum temperature with

nominal loads.

Leverage the compact design of the ACS480 for a cost-effective and efficient solution.

The cabinet optimized design with built-in features and control functions provide you

with streamlined process automation and efficiency to improve your bottom line.

Easiness with built-in brake chopper

A brake chopper is built-in as standard for all the ACS480 drives. The brake

chopper enables shorter and more accurate braking times, which instantly

increases productivity.

Easiness with the built-in EMC C2 filter

High-frequency noise can directly affect sensitive electronic equipment and

high-speed communication fieldbuses. Each ACS480 drive is equipped with

a built-in EMC filter to reduce high-frequency emissions. The built-in EMC C2

filter allows the drive to be used in industrial and commercial (building)

environments without a need to buy and install any external filters.

Boosting energy efficiency

Energy efficiency information is available in the energy optimizer feature to help

you optimize your processes. The energy optimizer feature operates both in scalar

and vector control modes, ensuring maximum torque per ampere and reducing

energy drawn from the supply. You can follow the saved energy, CO₂ emissions

or money, and see how fast the drive brings you a return on investment.
