The ABB ACS380-042S-04A8-1 is a compact and highly reliable AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise speed and torque control of three-phase motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the advanced ABB ACS380 machinery drive series, it is specifically developed for machine builders and OEM manufacturers seeking efficient motor control and seamless automation integration.
The ACS380 series is engineered to simplify machine design and commissioning while delivering excellent motor control performance. Integrated functional safety features, adaptive programming and flexible communication options make it ideal for modern industrial automation environments. The drive helps improve machine productivity, reduce energy consumption and enhance process reliability.
With a rated output power of 0.75 kW (VT / normal duty) or 0.55 kW (CT / heavy duty), a nominal output current of 4.8 A and a single-phase 200–240 V AC supply, the ACS380-042S-04A8-1 is ideal for conveyors, mixers, extruders, cranes and textile machinery. Its compact cabinet-mounted design enables straightforward installation inside electrical control panels.
Variable frequency drives such as the ABB ACS380 regulate motor speed by adjusting output voltage and frequency. This allows machinery to operate more efficiently while improving process precision and reducing mechanical stress on motors and drive components.
The ACS380 series is designed specifically for machine builders and industrial automation engineers. With integrated safety functions, flexible programming and communication capabilities, the drive can be seamlessly integrated into modern production systems and machine safety architectures.
