ABB ACS380-040N17A0-4 AC Variable Frequency Drive 7.5kW 10HP 480V 3-Phase IP20

The ABB ACS380-040N-17A0-4 is a low-voltage AC machinery drive module (variable frequency drive / VFD) designed for precise motor speed and torque control in a wide range of industrial machine applications. Rated at 7.5 kW (10 HP) with a 17.0 A output at 400V (14 A at 480V UL rating), this drive operates on a three-phase 380–480V AC input and mounts directly to a panel or cabinet surface in its compact Frame R3, IP20 (UL Type Open) enclosure.

Key Specifications:

• IEC Rating: 7.5 kW, 17.0 A, 400V
• UL Rating: 10 HP, 14 A, 480V
• Input Voltage: 380–480V AC, 3-Phase (50/60 Hz)
• Output Current (Light Duty, 110% overload): 14 A
• Output Current (Heavy Duty, 150% overload): 11 A
• Frame Size: R3
• Enclosure Rating: IP20 / UL Type Open
• Mounting: Surface / wall / cabinet mount
• Variant: Base (040N) — includes built-in braking chopper and EMC filter (C3/C4)

Key Features:

• Multi-motor type support: Compatible with AC induction, permanent magnet, and synchronous reluctance motors
• Built-in Safe Torque Off (STO): Enhances machine and personnel safety without requiring extensive external safety components
• Integrated braking chopper: Dissipates regenerative energy during deceleration to protect equipment
• Advanced vector control: Maintains stable speed and torque even under sudden load changes, with or without encoder feedback
• Built-in PID controller: Enables automated process regulation (e.g., constant pressure or flow) without an external controller
• Load profile logging: Collects and stores operational data such as current for application analysis and optimization
• Pre-programmed application macros: Simplifies commissioning and setup for technicians
• Energy optimizer: Matches motor speed to actual load demand for significant energy savings
• Soft-start functionality: Gradually ramps voltage and frequency to eliminate inrush current and mechanical shock

The ACS380 series is purpose-built for machine builder applications across industries including food and beverage, material handling, and plastics. Common applications include mixers, extruders, conveyors, palletizers, pumps, and cranes. The drive is engineered for a design life of 10 years under normal operating conditions, minimizing downtime and total cost of ownership.
