ABB ACS880-07-0505A-3 Cabinet Drive 250 kW 505 A
Description
What the ACS880-07-0505A-3 is
ABB’s single drives catalogue lists the ACS880-07-0505A-3 as a ready-built ACS880-07 cabinet drive on a 380 to 415 V supply. Nominal output is 505 A at 250 kW, built around a frame R10 power module. It suits mine hoists and conveyors, or compressors that need a finished cabinet. The cabinet already holds the rectifier, DC link, inverter, fuses, line choke and a main switch, so installation is mainly cabling and commissioning.

Duty classes, size and heat loss
ABB gives 485 A (250 kW) for light-duty use and 361 A (200 kW) for heavy duty, against a nominal 505 A and a peak of 560 A. Choose light duty for variable-torque loads such as pumps and fans, and heavy duty for constant-torque machines with high breakaway torque. Always size from the motor nameplate current at your voltage and check ambient temperature and altitude against the hardware manual.
Floor space needed is 830 mm by 698 mm; height 2145 mm for IP22 and IP42, 2315 mm for IP54; mass 530 kg. Heat dissipation is 6102 W with a noise level of 72 dB(A) and 2950 m3/h of cooling air.
Braking, filters and options
The brake chopper is a selectable option (+D150). The catalogue pairs it with 2 x SAFUR125F500 (2 ohm, 7200 kJ, 18 kW continuous) for 250 kW braking power and gives a minimum resistance of 2 ohm. A cabinet-mounted sine filter, type NSIN0900-6, is listed for 470 A at 250 kW for long motor cables. EMC filters in category C2 and C3, du/dt and common mode filters, I/O extensions, fieldbus adapters, safety modules and speed feedback interfaces are listed as main options. The control unit has slots for adapters, I/O extension, feedback and safety modules.

Source document and RFQ
All values above come from ABB’s ACS880 single drives catalogue 3AUA0000098111 (linked here) and the ABB product page for the ACS880-07-0505A-3. Seven Star LLC quotes the ACS880-07-0505A-3 from Muscat once it has the motor nameplate, supply voltage and option list. Please confirm the type code, options, motor data and ambient conditions before you order; the catalogue revision may be newer than the linked copy. A quotation request is quickest when it names the motor kW and nameplate current, the supply voltage and frequency and the fieldbus the ACS880-07-0505A-3 must talk to.

About brand
ABB is the Swiss-Swedish engineering group for electrification and automation: low voltage drives, motors, circuit breakers and motor control, process instruments and analysers, control systems and robots. It was formed on 5 January 1988 by the merger of two older companies. ASEA was founded in Västerås, Sweden, in 1883 by Ludvig Fredholm to make electric lighting and generators. BBC Brown Boveri was founded in Baden near Zurich in 1891 by Charles E. L. Brown and Walter Boveri. ABB Ltd is incorporated in Switzerland, headquartered in Zurich and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.

Choosing an ABB drive
ABB's ACS drive codes are easy to read once you know the pattern. In ACS580-01-046A-4, "ACS580" is the drive family, "01" means a wall-mounted single drive, "046A" is the rated output current (about 46 A) and "-4" means a 380–480 V supply. The family is chosen by application: ACS355 for compact machinery, ACS310 for simple pumps and fans, ACS580 as the general-purpose drive, ACQ580 for water and wastewater with pump functions such as pipe fill and dry-run protection, and ACS880 for heavy industrial duty with direct torque control. Size the drive on the motor's full-load current, not only its kW rating, and allow derating for the high ambient temperatures common in Gulf electrical rooms.
Where ABB products are used
In Oman and the GCC, ABB drives and motors run pumps, fans and compressors in water and wastewater plants, district cooling, oil and gas and industry. ABB flowmeters, level instruments and analysers are used in water utilities, power and desalination plants and refineries, and SACE breakers protect switchboards in buildings and plants.
