Description
ABB SB510K01 3BSE004450R1
Product Introduction
In a legacy ABB Advant control cabinet, the battery system is not an accessory that can be treated like a generic UPS charger. The ABB SB510K01 3BSE004450R1 is documented as a dedicated battery charger kit for the RM500 cabinet battery system, supporting 120–230 VAC/DC mains. ABB’s product information identifies it specifically as “SB510K01 Battery Charger AC/DC 120-230V”, while the Advant Controller 450 product guide shows the kit as consisting of the SB510 backup power supply and TK405.
This distinction matters during replacement. SB510K01 is not the same item as the SB510 backup power supply itself. The kit has its own ABB article number, 3BSE004450R1, and belongs to the battery-system architecture used with Advant OCS equipment. For procurement, match the complete article number and confirm whether the quoted material is the complete SB510K01 kit or only an individual SB510/TK405 component.

ABB’s product record classifies as a Battery Charger Kit and gives the catalog description “ Battery Charger AC/DC 120-230V.” The Advant Controller 450 documentation separately identifies the battery-system entry as a backup power supply for 120–230 V AC/DC mains and specifies its constituent components as SB510 and TK405.
Application Scenarios & Pain Points
The belongs to the power-support layer of older ABB Advant control cabinets. Its job is tied to maintaining the cabinet’s backup-power/battery arrangement rather than performing process logic or I/O processing.
Typical applications include:
- Advant Controller 450 cabinets — ABB documentation lists the battery system within the power-supply equipment associated with the Advant Controller 450.
- Advant Controller 450RMC systems — The same documentation identifies the battery system within the 450RMC power-supply architecture.
- AC460 control systems — The backup-power family is also listed under AC460 power supplies.
- RM500 cabinet battery systems — The is specifically documented in the RM500 cabinet battery-system section.
- Legacy control-system maintenance — Useful where the existing cabinet architecture remains operational and replacing the entire power subsystem would create unnecessary engineering and commissioning work.
One field point is easy to overlook: a charger fault and a battery fault can produce similar symptoms. Before replacing the , check the battery condition, charger behavior, wiring, fuses/protection, and associated backup-power components.

Engineer’s Guide: Field Pitfalls to Avoid
1. Do not confuse with
This is the most important purchasing distinction.
= backup power supply.
= battery charger kit consisting of + TK405.
ABB assigns different article numbers: is 3BSE000860R1, while is 3BSE004450R1.
2. Do not substitute SB511K01 based only on physical similarity
SB511K01 is associated with a 20–60 VDC mains configuration, whereas is documented for 120–230 VAC/DC mains. This is an electrical configuration difference, not merely a model-number variation.
3. Confirm what the supplier is actually quoting
The phrase “” should mean the complete kit. However, legacy inventory may have been separated into individual and components.
For a replacement order, specify:
- ABB article number 3BSE004450R1
- designation
- Required kit contents
- Required condition
- Whether functional testing is required
4. Check the battery before blaming the charger
A weak or aged battery can cause charging abnormalities, backup-power alarms, or poor hold-up performance.
If the replacement charger behaves differently from the old unit, measure the battery system and verify the associated wiring before repeatedly changing power modules.
5. Check cabinet documentation before installation
ABB Advant systems can contain multiple generations of power and controller hardware. Confirm the cabinet drawing, power architecture, battery arrangement, and existing / configuration before making changes.
6. Do not publish an assumed charging current
I found reliable identification of the 120–230 VAC/DC input range and kit composition, but not a sufficiently authoritative source for a specific charging-current rating for the complete . That number should therefore be taken from the applicable ABB technical documentation or the actual nameplate rather than copied from an unrelated reseller listing.
7. Inspect legacy inventory carefully
For used or surplus material, inspect:
- nameplate
- identification
- Terminal condition
- Signs of overheating
- Capacitor leakage or swelling
- Corrosion
- Connector condition
- Cabinet mounting hardware
- Evidence of previous battery leakage
A complete-looking kit is not necessarily electrically serviceable.
FAQ
What is ABB 3BSE004450R1?
3BSE004450R1 is an ABB battery charger kit for the Advant OCS/AC 400 control-system family. ABB identifies it as an AC/DC 120–230 V battery charger, and the Advant Controller 450 documentation specifies the kit as consisting of and .
Is a PLC or DCS I/O module?
No. It is a power-system component, specifically a battery charger kit. It does not perform process logic, analog input, digital output, or communications functions.
What is the input voltage of ?
ABB documentation identifies the for 120–230 VAC/DC mains.
What does contain?
The Advant Controller 450 product guide lists the kit as consisting of and .
Is the same as 3BSE000860R1?
No. is the backup power supply component, while is the battery charger kit with ABB article number 3BSE004450R1. The two should not be treated as identical procurement items.
Can SB511K01 replace ?
Not as a simple drop-in substitution. ABB documents SB511K01 for 20–60 VDC mains, whereas is for 120–230 VAC/DC mains. The cabinet power architecture must be checked before considering any substitution.
What should I verify when buying a replacement ?
Request the exact ABB 3BSE004450R1 identification and confirm whether the supplier is providing the complete kit or only an component. For used material, request photographs of both the and identification labels and inspect the equipment for age-related electrical deterioration.
