ABB general purpose drives

ACS550, 0.75 to 355 kW/1 to 500 hp

The ACS550 drives are simple

to buy, install, configure and
use, saving considerable time.
The drives have common user
and process interfaces with
fieldbuses, common software
tools for sizing, commissioning,
maintenance and common
spare parts.

All your energy saving options covered from the start

Simplicity for many needs

ABB general purpose drives can be used in a wide
range of industries. Typical applications include pump,
fan and constant torque use, such as conveyors.

Guaranteed easiness with built-in features

General purpose drives are ideal in those situations
where there is a need for simplicity to install, commis-
sion and use and where customizing or special product
engineering is not required. The drives include several
features as standard, such as swinging choke, EMC
filter and control panel. All drives are tested with
full load at the factory ensuring premium quality.

Efficient operation
Energy efficiency achieved with general purpose drives
can be easily monitored using the built-in counters,
which display energy savings in kilowatt hours, carbon
dioxide emissions or local currencies.
