£983.20
The ABB ACS180-04S-045A-4 is a compact and robust AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for reliable speed and torque control of three-phase motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the ABB ACS180 machinery drive series, it is developed for machine builders, OEMs and industrial users requiring dependable motor control, straightforward commissioning and efficient integration into modern machinery.
This drive combines ABB’s proven motor control technology with essential machinery features such as integrated Safe Torque Off (STO), Modbus RTU communication, sensorless vector control and a built-in braking chopper. Its compact IP20 format is designed for cabinet installation, helping reduce panel space while maintaining high performance and reliability.
With a rated output power of 22 kW (VT / normal duty) or 18.5 kW (CT / heavy duty) and a three-phase 380–480 V AC supply, the ACS180-04S-045A-4 is ideal for larger industrial motors used in conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, mixers, winders and production machinery. The drive’s strong 45 A output rating supports demanding applications where precise and efficient motor control is required.
Variable frequency drives such as the ABB ACS180 regulate motor speed by adjusting output voltage and frequency. This helps machinery run more efficiently, improves process control and reduces mechanical stress on motors, belts, gearboxes and driven equipment.
The ACS180 series is designed for machine builders and industrial automation engineers who need reliable drive performance in a compact and easy-to-use package. Its integrated safety functionality, communication interface and flexible motor control features make it suitable for a wide range of production and process applications.
