What are the drive differences between an ABB ACS Drives, model: ACSxxx-01E/03E/01 and ACSxxx-01U/03U/U1 Answer: The ABB ACSxxx-01E/03E/01 drive’s motor information parameters default to the following MOTOR NOM FREQ to “50Hz”, MOTOR NOM POWER is in “Kw”, REF1 MAX to “50Hz”, MAXIMUM SPEED to “1500RPM” and MAXIMUM FREQ to “50Hz”. The EMC metal screw is […]
There are several ways to build an ABB multi-motor setup with ABB micro drives. Master-slave control, parallel control of motors and combinations of these two ways. The most typical ABB multi-motor setup for compact drives is the parallel control, which means that several motors are powered by one inverter (parallel connection of motor windings). The […]

De-Rating ABB Drives for single phase input is possible with the ABB ACS310 and ACS355 Series drives. The ACS3XX-01U drives ratings are supplied in standard ratings for a single-phase supply voltage ranging from 200 to 240 V. They would then be used to operate a three-phase motor. It is also possible to supply 230 V single […]
ABB variable frequency drive repair should begin with checking the electric motor connections and drive terminal connections. Motor and drive connections can be missed, installed loosely or wired to the incorrect terminals, so checking all connections is recommended before pulling the drive for a repair evaluation. Heat cycles and mechanical vibration can lead to sub-standard connections. Reusing torque screws […]

Lenze latest product offerings of the i500 and the g500 are proving to give customers a […]
Variable frequency drive manufacturers offer products to be used with electric motors. A variable frequency drive is also known as a VFD, variable speed drive, adjustable speed drive, electronic motor controller, or an inverter. Every VFD is unique with its own component characteristics; so, how each VFD works is dependent upon components within the VFD. Most […]
ABB ACS880-PE Enclosed Drive is the latest offering of ABB configured drives. This product was announced and released by ABB on March 31st, 2017. The ACS880-PE Enclosed Drive features a single ACS880-01 flange-mounted variable frequency drive in a wall mounted or floor standing enclosure and is available in a UL type 1 or type 12 design. […]
Should I Repair Or Replace My Drive? Cost and Production Loss AC Tech drive repair can be quicker and less expensive than drive replacement. AC Tech drive repair is most economical for: obsolete drives, out of stock drives, and, drives above 10 horsepower. When a failed AC Tech drive is obsolete or the availability exceeds repair […]
The three products that make up the ABB acs880 series are: single drives, multidrives, and drive modules. In this article, I will discuss product features and specifications of the ABB acs880 multidrives; which is one-third of the entire acs880 product. ABB acs880 multidrives ABB acs880 multidrives are available from 1.5 horsepower to 7,500 horsepower, with power ranging from […]
The ABB ACS250 VFD has reached the end of its life cycle. The new ABB ACS255 VFD will now supersede the ABB ACS250 VFD. ABB will no longer build the ACS250, so once ACS250 stock runs out, ABB will fill all ACS250 orders with the ACS255. These changes were announced in January but ABB ACS250 […]
