Declaration of Conformity The manufacturer hereby states that the ACS255 product range conforms to the relevant safety provisions of the following council directives: 2014/30/EU (EMC) and 2014/35/EU (LVD) 2011/65/EU (RoHS) EN 61800-5-1: 2007 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems. Safety requirements. Electrical, thermal and energy.
2. Safety 2.1. What this chapter contains This chapter contains the safety instructions which you must follow when installing, operating and servicing the drive. If ignored, physical injury or death may follow, or damage may occur to the drive, motor or driven equipment. Read the safety instructions before you work on the unit.
WARNING! Ignoring the following instructions can cause physical injury or death, or damage to the equipment. The drive is not field repairable. Never attempt to repair a malfunctioning drive; contact your local ABB representative or Authorized Service Centre for replacement.

Do not activate the automatic fault reset function on any systems whereby this may cause a potentially dangerous situation. The ACS255 has an Ingress Protection rating of IP20 or IP66 depending on the model. IP20 units must be installed in a suitable enclosure.
The type designation contains information on the specification and configuration of the drive. You find the type designation label attached to the drive. The first digits from the left express the basic configuration, for example ACS255-03U-05A8-4. The explanations of the type designation label selections are described below.
Input switch assembly Frame Size (HP) transistor 1-phase 110V…115V AC (+/-10%) - 3 Phase 230V Output ACS255-01U-02A3-1 ACS255-01U-04A3-1 ACS255-01U-05A8-1 3.3. Drive Model Numbers – IP66 Mechanical Dimensions and Mounting information are shown in section 4. Further Electrical Specifications are shown in section 12.2.
Check the drive rating label to ensure it is of the correct type and power requirements for the application. Store the ACS255 in its box until required. Storage should be clean and dry and within the temperature range –40°C to +60°C ...
The Enclosed ACS255s can be installed side-by-side with their heatsink flanges touching. This gives adequate ventilation space between drives. If the ACS255 is to be installed above another drive or any other heat- producing device, the minimum vertical spacing (X) is 150mm (5.9 inches) above and below.
4.6. Gland Plate and Lock Out The use of a suitable gland system is required to maintain the appropriate IP / Nema rating. The gland plate has pre moulded cable entry holes for power and motor connections suitable for use with glands as shown in the following table. Where additional holes are required, these can be drilled to suitable size.
A hazard of personal injury and/or equipment damage exists if codes are ignored during installation. This ACS255 contains high voltage capacitors that take time to discharge after removal of the main supply. Before working on the drive, ensure isolation of the main supply from line inputs. Wait ten (10) minutes for the capacitors to discharge to safe voltage levels.
5.1.6. Ground Fault Monitoring As with all inverters, a leakage current to earth can exist. The ACS255 is designed to produce the minimum possible leakage current while complying with worldwide standards. The level of current is affected by motor cable length and type, the effective switching frequency, the earth connections used and the type of RFI filter installed.
5.4. Drive & Motor Connections For 1 phase supply, power should be connected to L1/L, L2/N. For 3 phase supplies power should be connected to L1, L2, L3. Phase sequence is not important. The Motor should be connected to U, V, W For drives that have a dynamic brake transistor an optional external braking resistor will need be connected to +DC and BR when required.
5.6. Using the REV/Off/FWD Selector Switch (IP66 Switched Version Only) By adjusting the parameter settings the ACS255 can be configured for multiple applications and not just for Forward or Reverse. This could typically be for Hand/Off/Auto applications (also known as Local/Remote) for Industrial fan and pump industries.

12.2. Rating Tables The following tables provide the output current rating information for the various ACS255 models. ABB Drives always recommend that selection of the correct ACS255 is based upon the motor full load current at the incoming supply voltage.
Amperes symmetrical with the specified maximum supply voltage. Incoming power supply connection must be according to section 5.3 All ACS255 units are intended for indoor installation only and within controlled environments which meet the condition limits shown in section 12.1 Branch circuit protection must be installed according to the relevant national codes.
12.5.4. Example of applying Derating Factors A 5Hp, 400V/460V IP66 drive is to be used at an altitude of 2000 meters above sea level, with 12kHz switching frequency and 45°C ambient temperature. From the table above, we can see that the rated current of the drive is 9.5 Amps at 40°C, Firstly, apply the switching frequency derating, 12kHz, 25% derating 9.5 Amps x 75% = 7.1 Amps Now, apply the derating for higher ambient temperature, 2.5% per °C above 40°C = 5 x 2.5% = 12.5%...
