Description
ABB ACS880-01-045A-3 – High‑performance 400 V General‑Purpose Drive for 22 kW-class Motors
You might notice the model is often written as ACS880-01-045A-3; the “ASC” spelling sometimes shows up in requests, but the ABB family name is ACS880. This unit is a wall‑mounted single drive designed for demanding applications where accuracy, uptime, and easy integration matter. From my experience, the 045A rating is a sweet spot for pumps, fans, conveyors, and mixers around the 22 kW range, especially when you want strong torque at low speed and a compact footprint.

Application Fields
This rating is commonly selected for:
- Pumps & Fans: HVAC, chilled water, process air—energy savings with PID and soft ramping.
- Conveyors & Material Handling: Packaging lines, parcel sorters—smooth acceleration and tight speed matching.
- Compressors: Stable torque and protection features help reduce mechanical stress.
- Mixers & Agitators: Consistent torque at low speed improves process repeatability.
- General OEM Machinery: Where compact wall‑mount drives and fast fieldbus integration are needed.
A packaging OEM told us they moved to the 045A‑3 units and cut cycle time variation by about 8% while keeping noise down, mostly thanks to DTC and better ramp profiles.
Advantages & Value
- Reliability: The ACS880 series is known for long service intervals; fans and DC bus capacitors are easy to service.
- Compatibility: Works with existing PLCs via Modbus RTU or optional Ethernet/fieldbus cards; supports encoder options when needed.
- Lifecycle cost savings: Energy optimization and reduced mechanical wear typically lower OPEX in many cases.
- Support & tools: Drive Composer and clear parameter sets simplify commissioning and troubleshooting.
Installation & Maintenance
- Environment: Mount in a clean, ventilated cabinet; maintain top/bottom clearance for airflow. Avoid corrosive or conductive dust.
- Wiring: Use shielded motor cables for EMC; bond grounding straps with low impedance. In most cases, line reactors or EMC filters are recommended depending on site harmonics.
- Cooling: Ensure unobstructed top exhaust. Check that ambient stays within the stated temperature range.
- Safety: Use the dual‑channel STO for lockout during maintenance; verify safety circuit wiring and PL/SIL calculation as required.
- Routine checks: Inspect fan operation and filters quarterly; back up parameters to the control panel or PC. Firmware updates via Drive Composer when applicable.
- Commissioning tips: Run motor ID (if needed) for best torque accuracy; set proper acceleration/deceleration ramps and PID limits for pumps/fans.
Quality & Certifications
- Certifications: CE, UL/cUL, EAC, RoHS compliant; STO meets SIL 3 / PL e (per ABB ACS880 safety design).
- Manufacturer’s warranty: ABB’s standard policy is typically 12 months from commissioning (region and program dependent).
- Our coverage: We supply a 365‑day warranty on this unit, with fast replacement support if needed.
If you need confirmation of the exact frame size, braking chopper availability, or EMC category for your region, I can match the drive to your motor nameplate and cabinet layout before you place the order. That usually prevents surprises during installation.
