ABB VFD REPAIR & REFURBISHMENT

ABB ACS180 repair and refurbishment.

Component-level repair for the ABB ACS180. Bench diagnostics, engineer-led, no fix no fee.

Overview

ACS180 repair and refurbishment

The ACS180 is ABB's current entry-level compact drive, replacing the ACS150 in many applications. Available from 0.37 kW to 18.5 kW, it is commonly found in simple pump, fan, and conveyor installations where reliability and ease of setup are priorities.

Expertise

Common ACS180 faults we fix

  • Power board faults causing immediate trip on startup — typically caused by rectifier or IGBT failure following a supply transient

  • EMC filter degradation causing interference in sensitive environments or nuisance earth leakage tripping

  • Keypad and display failure preventing local parameter access in panel-mounted installations

  • Internal power supply faults causing the drive to fail to initialise or exhibit random resets

FAQ

ACS180 repair FAQs

Is it economical to repair an ACS180 given its relatively low original cost?

For production-critical applications, repair is almost always faster than sourcing a replacement and re-parameterising. We provide a clear quote upfront so you can make an informed decision.

Can you repair an ACS180 that trips immediately on power-up?

Yes. An immediate trip at power-up usually points to a rectifier or DC bus fault. We carry out a bench diagnostic to confirm the root cause before quoting.

My ACS180 suffered a supply voltage event — what is typically damaged?

Supply transients most commonly damage the input rectifier, DC bus capacitors, and sometimes the IGBT gate drivers. We assess all affected circuits during the bench evaluation.
