− Reduces commissioning, installation and energy costs
− Replaces contactors and starters
The ABB ACS55 Component Drive continues in the tradition of
ABB AC Drives being simple to buy, install, configure and use,
saving considerable time. The ACS55 can easily be integrated
into existing or smaller panels, replacing contactors and motor
starters due to its compact size as well as new installations
or wherever energy savings of small AC induction motors is
desired.
Where can it be used?
The ABB ACS55 Component Drive can be used in a wide range
of industries. Typical applications include pumps and fans as
well as constant torque applications such as material handling.
The ABB ACS55 Component Drive is ideal for those situations
where a low cost, easy to install and easy to operate product is
needed.
Additional applications include:
− Heat Exchangers
− Packaging Machines
− X-ray Screening Systems
− Exercise Training & SPA Equipment
− Ovens
− Powered Roof-Ventilators
− Food & Beverage Machines
