ABB 3BHB006716R0277 – OEM Drive Power Module (Board-Level Spare) for ACS-Series Drives

The ABB 3BHB006716R0277 is an original ABB board-level spare, commonly used as a power/driver module inside ACS-series variable speed drives (typically ACS800/ACS880 frames). Teams use it to restore faulty drives quickly without replacing the entire unit, which in many cases shortens downtime from days to hours.

From my experience, this part number (with the R0277 revision suffix) is stocked as a direct, drop-in replacement for matching drive frames. If you’re maintaining a mixed fleet, it’s a practical way to keep critical lines running while staying within ABB’s approved component ecosystem.

Key Features

• OEM identification and revision control – Genuine ABB spare with model 3BHB006716R0277; the R0277 suffix helps align the correct revision to the drive firmware/hardware level.
• Designed for ACS-series integration – Typically used inside ACS800/ACS880 drives, matching ABB harnessing, mounting, and diagnostics behavior.
• Drop-in replacement – Minimizes commissioning time; no custom wiring or mechanical adaptation in most cases.
• Industrial build quality – Components and conformal coating (where applicable) are selected for cabinet environments with vibration, dust, and thermal cycling.
• Consistent performance – Calibrated at the factory for stable operation across the specified temperature range typically used in ABB enclosures.
• Service-friendly – Clear connectors and mounting points make swap-outs straightforward for drive technicians following ABB maintenance procedures.

Application Fields

You’ll typically find this spare in production environments where drive uptime matters more than anything else. Maintenance teams keep it on the shelf for planned shutdowns or emergency swaps.

• Pulp & Paper – web handling, winding sections where quick recovery is essential
• Metals & Mining – conveyors, mills, and crushers with high duty cycles
• Water & Wastewater – pump drives in 24/7 municipal services
• Chemicals & Process – mixers, compressors, and continuous process lines
• Marine & Ports – winches, cranes, and propulsion auxiliaries

A maintenance lead for a metals plant told us they keep two units of 3BHB006716R0277 in a sealed ESD box near the ACS800 lineup. “Swapping it took under 30 minutes. That saved a full shift of lost production,” is how he put it.

Advantages & Value

• Reliability – OEM hardware matched to ABB drive characteristics reduces nuisance trips and tuning headaches.
• Compatibility – Revision-controlled spare; seems to be widely used across common ACS800/ACS880 frames (verification recommended).
• Cost containment – Extends drive life and avoids premature full-drive replacement, especially on large frame sizes.
• Support readiness – Easier for ABB-trained service teams to diagnose and commission, which typically shortens call-out times.

Installation & Maintenance

• Cabinet environment – Install within an ABB-compliant enclosure (proper ventilation, ambient typically 0…+40/45/55 °C depending on frame and derating).
• ESD precautions – Use grounded wrist straps and antistatic packaging; these boards can be sensitive to handling.
• Wiring & torque – Reconnect harnesses per the drive service manual; verify connector seating and specified torque on any fasteners.
• Commissioning – After replacement, run the drive’s internal diagnostics. In many cases a power cycle and a brief parameter check is all that’s required.
• Firmware/Revision alignment – Match the module’s revision (R0277) with your drive’s hardware level. If unsure, confirm with the drive type code and serial.
• Routine care – Keep the cabinet clean and dry; periodic dust removal and checking fans/filters goes a long way. Schedule visual inspections during planned outages.

Quality & Certifications

• Manufactured within ABB’s quality system (ISO 9001). Component-level compliance typically follows ABB’s RoHS policies.
• CE/UL compliance is assessed at the complete drive level; this spare is intended for use within certified ABB drives.
• Warranty: typically 12 months for new, unused parts when installed by qualified personnel and operated within ABB specifications.

If you share your drive type code, serial, and frame size, we can verify 1:1 compatibility for 3BHB006716R0277 before you schedule the shutdown. That small step usually prevents surprises on install day.
