Technical Parameters
Parameter Category Specification Notes
Series / Family ACS550 - General Purpose Drive Part of the ABB Industrial Drives family.
Product Type Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) / Adjustable Speed Drive (ASD) For controlling 3-phase AC induction motors.
Supply Voltage 3-phase, 200...240 V AC ±10% Defined by -01- in the code. Frequency: 48...63 Hz.
Output Power 4.0 kW (5.5 hp) Defined by 023A: 023 corresponds to a frame size, A indicates 4.0kW at 240V.
Output Current 12.0 A (Continuous) Maximum continuous output current.
Motor Control Mode Volts/Hertz (Scalar Control) with optional Flux Optimization (MTC). Provides energy-efficient scalar control.
Enclosure Rating IP21 / NEMA Type 1 (Open chassis) For mounting inside a control cabinet. -4 indicates a chassis unit without an operator panel.
Key Features - Built-in PID Controllers (2) for process control.
- 7 Custom Macros for quick application setup.
- Follow-up (Flying Start).
- Energy Savings mode via Flux Optimization.
- Modbus RTU communication (RS485) as standard.
- Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function (SIL 2). Focus on pump, fan, and compressor control.
Option Code (+B055) Internal Braking Chopper + Braking Resistor Kit +B indicates an internal brake chopper is present. 055 specifies a matching braking resistor kit (e.g., a specific ohmic value and power rating) for dynamic braking.
Control Connections - 2 Analog Inputs (0/4...20 mA or 0...10 V)
- 2 Analog Outputs (0/4...20 mA)
