The ABB 68878381, also known as ACS55-01N-01A4-1, is a compact and easy-to-use AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for simple speed control of small three-phase motors. As part of the ABB ACS55 micro drive series, it is ideal for light industrial machinery, commercial equipment and OEM applications where space-saving motor control and straightforward setup are required.
This micro drive is designed to improve small motor performance by providing variable speed control in a slim, panel-friendly format. Its simple setup using switches and potentiometers makes installation quick, while optional PC configuration through ABB DriveConfig supports more advanced commissioning when required.
With a rated output power of 0.18 kW, a nominal output current of 1.4 A and a single-phase 110–120 V AC input supply, the ACS55-01N-01A4-1 provides a variable frequency three-phase 230 V AC output for small AC motors. Its IP20 enclosure is suitable for DIN rail or panel mounting inside electrical cabinets.
