abb acs355 inverter variable speed drive three phase 3kw 13.3a ip20
MPN: ACS355-03E-13A3-2
Alt. SKU: 3AUA0000058177
Why Choose the ABB ACS355-03E-13A3-2 Industrial Drive?
The ABB ACS355-03E-13A3-2 is the definitive 3.0 kW (4.0 HP) three-phase variable speed drive (VSD) / AC drive engineered for rapid commissioning and high performance in demanding light industrial environments. This compact, robust IP20 drive delivers precise motor control via advanced open-loop vector technology, ensuring exceptional speed and torque regulation even at low speeds. With 150% overload capacity for 60 seconds, it reliably handles high inertia loads and sudden demands. Critically, it features an integrated brake chopper for dynamic deceleration and a built-in C3 EMC filter, which together simplify cabinet design, reduce component costs, and support faster compliance and reliability right out of the box.

What is the primary benefit of the built-in C3 EMC filter?
The built-in C3 EMC filter minimises electromagnetic interference (EMI) that the drive transmits back into the power line,
reducing the need for costly external components and supporting compliance in industrial and restricted public network environments.
What is the difference between scalar and open-loop vector control?
Scalar control (V/Hz) is simple and well suited to fans and pumps.
Open-loop vector control provides much more precise speed and torque control across the entire speed range,
even at low frequencies, without requiring a motor encoder (feedback device).
What is the purpose of the integrated brake module?
The integrated brake chopper allows the drive to rapidly decelerate high inertia loads.
It dissipates the kinetic energy generated by the motor into a braking resistor (external component required),
ensuring quick and controlled stopping times.
Can this drive be powered by a standard 400 V supply?
No. The ACS355-03E-13A3-2 is a 200 to 240 V three-phase drive.
It requires a three-phase power supply within this voltage range and is not compatible with standard 400 V industrial lines.
What is the drive's short-term overload capacity?
The drive is rated for 150% of its nominal output current (13.3 A) for up to 60 seconds.
This is crucial for applications that require a high torque boost for starting or overcoming temporary load spikes.
Which applications is the ACS355-03E-13A3-2 best suited for?
The ACS355-03E-13A3-2 is ideal for conveyors, material handling, pumps, fans, mixers, blenders, textile lines and general machinery
where compact size, fast commissioning and precise speed and torque control are required, particularly in light industrial environments.
