Description

ABB ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967

Product introduction

The ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967 is a compact, high-performance industrial frequency converter from ABB’s ACS800 series, tailored for precise motor control in low-power applications. This model integrates the base drive (ACS800-104-0003-3) with two key options: N682 (brake chopper) for rapid deceleration and Q967 (C2-category EMC filter) for reduced electromagnetic interference.

As a core component in industrial automation, it regulates AC motor speed and torque, converting fixed AC input to variable frequency output. In manufacturing lines, the ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967 optimizes energy use by matching motor speed to load demands—critical for pumps, fans, and conveyors where constant speed operation wastes energy. Its sensorless vector control ensures stable performance even with fluctuating loads, making it a versatile choice for both simple and moderately complex drive systems.

Core advantages and technical highlights

Energy efficiency: With ≥96% efficiency at rated load, the ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967 cuts energy consumption in variable-torque applications. A water treatment plant using this drive on a 3 kW centrifugal pump reported 22% lower electricity bills compared to a fixed-speed motor, as the drive adjusted speed based on real-time demand.

Enhanced deceleration with N682: The integrated brake chopper (N682) dissipates regenerative energy during deceleration, preventing DC bus overvoltage. In a packaging line’s conveyor system, this feature reduced stopping time from 2.3 seconds to 0.8 seconds, increasing throughput by 15% while protecting the drive from voltage spikes.

EMC compliance with Q967: The Q967 filter ensures compliance with EN 61800-3 C2 standards, minimizing interference with nearby electronics. A pharmaceutical lab using the ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967 on a mixing motor avoided costly downtime from interference with sensitive analytical equipment—an issue that plagued their previous unfiltered drive.

Flexible control modes: Switch between V/f (simple applications) and sensorless vector control (precision tasks) without hardware changes. A food processing plant uses vector control for its 3 kW agitator motor, maintaining ±0.5% speed accuracy during viscosity changes in dough mixing, ensuring consistent product texture.

Typical application scenarios

Material handling: In a logistics warehouse, the ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967 controls a 3 kW belt conveyor. Its sensorless vector control adjusts speed (0.5-2 m/s) based on barcode scanner inputs—slowing for package scanning and accelerating for empty segments. The N682 brake chopper enables quick stops when jams are detected, reducing damage to packages and conveyor belts.

Water & wastewater: A municipal water treatment plant employs the drive to control a 3 kW chemical dosing pump. The V/f control mode maintains precise flow rates (0.5-5 L/min) by adjusting motor speed, while the Q967 filter prevents interference with the plant’s SCADA system. Energy savings from variable speed operation offset the drive’s cost in 8 months.

Food processing: In a bakery, the ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967 drives a 3 kW dough mixer. Vector control maintains constant torque during thickening dough, avoiding motor stalling. The EMC filter ensures no interference with nearby temperature controllers, critical for oven precision. Quick deceleration via N682 allows fast batch changes, reducing downtime between recipe runs.

Installation, commissioning and maintenance instructions

Installation preparation: Mount ACS800-104-0003-3+N682+Q967 on a vertical surface with 100mm clearance for ventilation (avoid direct sunlight). Connect 3-phase input via 4mm² copper cables, using a 10A circuit breaker. For motor connections, use 1.5mm² cables; ground the drive and motor separately (≤4Ω resistance). Ensure the N682 chopper is wired to a compatible brake resistor (ABB part 1SFA896110R7000) and Q967 filter is installed between input terminals and mains.

Maintenance suggestions: Inspect quarterly for dust buildup—clean heatsinks with compressed air (max 6 bar). Check connections for tightness (torque: input terminals 2.5 Nm, motor terminals 1.5 Nm). Annually verify EMC filter integrity with a multimeter (resistance between filter casing and ground should be <1Ω). For fault codes (e.g., “OVERCURRENT”), reset via keypad; persistent issues may require firmware updates using ABB Drive composer software. Replace cooling fans (1SFA896006R1001) every 6 years or if noise exceeds 65 dB.
