Class context — ABB ACS800-01
ACS800-01 units are the wall-mount single-drive branch of the ACS800 family, used to run induction motors in standalone cabinets where the drive and the motor are sized together for one machine section rather than a common DC bus. The frame-01 form factor is the one a panel-builder mounts directly inside a control column — not a bookshelf or cabinet-side drive — so depth, gland layout, and the cooling clearances above and below the unit drive the panel layout.
Mounting and panel-handling checklist
At 8.39 kg the drive is a one-person lift for a fitter but a two-person job once it is seated into a deep cabinet, so plan the backplate fixings before the cable entry is dressed — the weight on the heatsink side means the unit will pivot on the lower mounting bolts if the upper fixings are loose. Keep the listed cable entry clearances and respect the cooling-air path; this is a frame-01 wall-mount drive and the heatsink is the primary thermal path, so crowding it against a gland plate or a cable duct will derate the output without any warning on the HMI.
Procurement takeaway
For a hot-strip mill line or any panel where the existing ACS800-01-0009-3+E200 is on a maintenance spare list, quote against the full order code including the +E200 suffix so the replacement matches the control board variant already commissioned; the weight figure and the frame-01 mounting envelope are the two fixed points a panel layout cannot change without rework.
