 Integrating Drives into Electrical Panel Design

Integrating Drives into Electrical Panel Design

As industrial plants move toward digital transformation and smarter manufacturing, electrical panel design plays a critical role in system performance. At DAS, we specialize in designing and integrating advanced drive systems—including ABB ACS880 variable speed drives—into industrial panels to ensure maximum efficiency, reliability, and long-term scalability.


Why Drives Are Essential in Modern Panel Design

Variable Speed Drives (VSDs) are no longer optional components; they are central to automation strategy. Drives enable:

  • Optimized motor control
  • Energy savings
  • Integrated protection
  • Condition monitoring
  • Intelligent communication with PLC/SCADA/MES systems

ABB ACS880 drives, widely used in DAS projects, bring advanced harmonics control, modularity, and strong industrial communication capabilities.


Key Design Considerations for Drive Integration

1. Thermal Management and Ventilation

Drives generate heat—poor thermal design shortens component life. DAS panel designs ensure:

  • Correct enclosure size
  • Optimized airflow
  • Filtered ventilation or heat exchangers
  • Hot-cold air zoning

ACS880’s compact footprint allows tighter panel layouts without sacrificing cooling efficiency.


2. EMC Compliance & Wiring Practices

To guarantee stable operation and avoid interference:

  • Separate power and control wiring routes
  • Use EMC-compliant glands and shielded cables
  • Apply proper grounding techniques

DAS design standards align with IEC/EN requirements for EMC performance.


3. Harmonic Mitigation

Modern industries require clean power quality. DAS integrates:

  • ACS880’s built-in harmonic reduction
  • Active front-end (AFE) modules
  • Optional harmonic filters

This ensures compliance with IEEE 519 and local grid standards.


4. Communication & Digital Integration

ACS880 drives support major industrial protocols:

  • Modbus
  • Profinet
  • EtherCAT
  • Profibus
  • OPC UA

DAS integrates these drives with PLC systems for real-time data, predictive maintenance, and smart factory connectivity.


5. Panel Space Optimization

Compact design is essential for modern plants. By using modular drive systems and optimized busbar layouts, DAS ensures:

  • Maintenance-friendly panel structures
  • Future expansion capability
  • Reduced installation costs

How DAS Adds Value

  • Expertise in ABB ACS880 configuration
  • Tailor-made drive panels for industry-specific needs
  • Full integration: electrical design, PLC programming, commissioning
  • Energy-efficient system architecture
  • Smart factory–ready automation solutions

With DAS engineering standards, drive-integrated panels deliver superior performance and long-term reliability.
