Why Choose the ABB ACS180-04S-17A0-4 Machinery Drive?

The ABB ACS180-04S-17A0-4 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 OEMs, machine builders and industrial users requiring dependable motor control, simple commissioning and efficient integration into modern production equipment.

This drive combines ABB’s proven motor control technology with essential machinery features including integrated Safe Torque Off (STO), Modbus RTU communication, sensorless vector control and an integrated braking chopper. Its compact IP20 enclosure is designed for cabinet installation, helping reduce panel space while maintaining reliable performance and efficient operation.

With a rated output power of 7.5 kW (VT / normal duty) or 5.5 kW (CT / heavy duty), a 17.0 A nominal output current and a three-phase 380–480 V AC supply, the ACS180-04S-17A0-4 is ideal for conveyors, pumps, fans, compressors, mixers, winders and production machinery requiring accurate and efficient motor control.
