FMK-A-R2

The ABB FMK-A-R2 Flange Mounting Kit (SKU: FMK-A-R2) is specifically designed for ABB's ACS550 low-voltage drives. This kit facilitates the mounting of the drive with its heatsink external to a third-party enclosure. This external heatsink configuration is crucial for thermal management in applications where the drive's internal heatsink cannot be adequately ventilated within the enclosure. The FMK-A-R2 allows for secure mounting of the ACS550 drive, with the heatsink protruding through the enclosure wall. It's important to note that utilizing this flange kit necessitates the removal of the drive's standard cover. This modification reduces the drive's ingress protection rating to IP00. However, the FMK-A-R2 is compatible with third-party enclosures rated for UL Type 1 and UL Type 12 (equivalent to NEMA 1 and NEMA 12). This makes it a practical solution for industrial installations requiring custom enclosure designs while adhering to NEMA protection standards. The kit enables flexible integration into various industrial automation and control systems, ensuring the ACS550 drive operates effectively even when enclosure constraints are a factor. Originating from the US, this mounting kit provides a direct solution for optimizing the thermal performance of ACS550 drives in diverse industrial settings.
