ABB ACS150 Micro Drive — Compact V/Hz AC Drive (IP20)

The ABB ACS150 is a cost-effective micro drive designed for quick installs and everyday speed control. It features scalar (V/Hz) control, a built-in keypad with rotary speed pot, and a simplified parameter set to commission in minutes. Typical uses include small fans/pumps, mixers, conveyors, gates, and OEM machine functions.

Selection notes

Voltage & power: choose the 200–240 V (often 1-phase in / 3-phase out) or 380–480 V three-phase class in the required kW/HP.

Overload: normal-duty loads size one-to-one with the motor; for high-torque starts, check heavy-duty rating.

I/O: discrete inputs for start/stop and speed selects, 1 analog input for reference, relay output for run/fault, plus analog output for monitoring (model-dependent).

Braking: brake chopper is available on many ratings—add a resistor for fast decel (verify per variant).

EMC & environment: integrated filtering on selected models; IP20 chassis, derate above typical panel ambients.

This drive keeps things simple—no fieldbus modules to manage—yet covers the essentials for compact panels and repeatable OEM builds.
