Alternating current VFD drive technology extends the motor speed range from zero to high above the rated speed of an electric motor, increasing the productivity of the driven process. When a low capacity is enough, the vfd reduces the machine speed and saves energy.

VFD equipment all over the world save energy in applications for pumps, fans, conveyors and machines. The ABB ACS250 VFD drives provide flexible mounting alternatives and straightforward configuration and they are very easy to install and setup. The ABB ACS250 VFD is part of ABB’s complete micro drive range, which offers a solution for every application. The ABB ACS250 VFD can be used for simple to more complex machines. ABB ACS250 VFD enclosure sizes are available in IP20 series, in power ratings from single phase 110 – 120 Volt; for low power applications, such as pumps, fans, grinders, mixers and conveyors, through 600 Volt drives with more advanced features for general purpose applications.

The ABB ACS250 VFD is available in an IP66 enclosure in a full range of products for harsh environments. IP66 enclosed drives are ideal for wash-down applications and the offering covers all the voltages from 1-phase 110 Volt, to 3-phase 600 Volt. All ABB ACS250 VFD drives include a built-in Modbus-RTU serial communication, intuitive keypad control, and build-in macros to make commissioning straightforward. IP66 enclosures are available with or without switch featuring a speed pot, FWD -0.REW and power isolator. In 500 – 600 Volt ABB ACS250 VFD advanced product types, the additional features include e.g. CAN open interface and built-in safe-torque-off (STO) function.

The ABB ACS250 VFD with IP66/NEMA 4X enclosure is designed for applications such as; screws, mixers, pumps, fans and conveyors, which are installed in harsh environments containing dust, moisture and cleaning chemicals. The Nema 4X drive’s design and ease of setup beneﬁt a broad range of industries. The Nema 4X drive was designed with bacteria resistant materials, meeting stringent hygiene requirements, and the Nema 4X integrated keypad provides straightforward drive commissioning and maintenance in extreme environments. The drive’s sealed ABS enclosure and corrosion resistant heat sink are ideal for wash down applications.
