You are recommended to have completed

AC Drive Basics
Help
Main features
ACS550 belongs to the standard drive

class of ABB Drives
Easy to buy, install, configure and use
Fast availability from ABB channel
partners
For wide range of applications
Help
Mains connection
Supply voltages for two ranges
– 3-phase 208 - 240V +10/-15%
– 3-phase 380 - 480V +10/-15%
Supply frequency 48-63 Hz

Displacement power factor 0.98
Disconnecting the internal RFI filter is required
when operating in floating, impedance grounded, or
asymmetrically grounded networks
Low THD (total harmonic distortion) value thanks to
patented swinging choke solution
Help
Motor connection
ACS550 motor connection range and motor
nominal values:
– 208 to 240 V input (3~): Motors 115 to 345 V (3~) and
0.75 - 75 kW (0.8 - 100 hp)
– 380 to 480 V input (3~): Motors 200 to 600 V (-01 types,
3~) / 230 to 690 V (-U1 types, 3~) and 0.75 - 355 kW (1 -
500 hp)
Frequency 0 to 500 Hz
Switching frequency
– 0.75 to 110 kW: 1 / 4 / 8 / 12 kHz
– Up to 355 kW: 1 / 4 kHz
– With 8 and 12 kHz
Set parameter 2607 SW FREQ CTRL = 1 (ON) which allows the drive
to reduce the switching frequency if/when the drive’s internal

temperature exceeds 90°C (8kHz) or 80°C (12kHz)

OR
Derate with 8kHz PN/Phd and I2N/I2hd to 80% (8 kHz), with 12 kHz
PN/Phd and I2N/I2hd to 65% & ambient temperature maximum to 30°C

Ratings
ACS550 has two ratings: normal and heavy duty
Overload capacity:
– Normal duty: 110% * I2N
for 1 min. every 10 min.
– Heavy duty: 150% * I2N
for 1 min. every 10 min.
– For both: 180% * I2N for
2 sec. every 60 sec.
