Technical Parameters
Parameter Specification / Value
Brand & Series ABB ACS510
Product Model ACS510-01-038A-4
Rated Output Power 18.5 kW (25 HP)
Rated Output Current 38 A (Decoded from "038A")
Input Supply Voltage 3-phase, 200–240 V AC (±10%)
Input Supply Frequency 47–63 Hz
Output Frequency Range 0.1–500 Hz
Control Method Scalar control (V/Hz) with Automatic Energy Optimization (AEO) and enhanced motor control features.

Overload Capacity 110% of rated current for 60 seconds (for centrifugal loads like pumps and fans).
Braking Chopper Not built-in. An external brake resistor and chopper unit are required for fast deceleration or overhauling loads.
Cooling Method Forced air cooling (internal fan).
Protection Features Comprehensive: Motor thermal (I²t) protection, short circuit, ground fault, over/under voltage, phase loss, drive overheating, etc.
Operating Temperature -15°C to +40°C (without derating). Up to +50°C with current derating.
Connection Terminals Screw terminals for power (R/L1, S/L2, T/L3, U, V, W, DC+, DC-, Brake) and control.
Mounting Wall mounting (vertical orientation recommended for optimal cooling).
Standards & Approvals CE, cULus, RoHS, IEC 61800-5-1, EN 61800-3.
The ABB ACS510-01-038A-4 is an 18.5 kW (25 HP) heavy-duty AC drive belonging to the upper power range of ABB's widely adopted ACS510 series. Designed as a robust and intelligent variable frequency drive (VFD), it provides high-performance speed and torque control for three-phase asynchronous motors, with specialized optimization for large-scale pump, fan, blower, and compressor applications in industrial and commercial facilities.
