Why Choose the ABB ACS380-040N-045A-4 Machinery Drive?

The ABB ACS380-040N-045A-4, ABB order code 3AXD50000048275, is a compact AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for precise and efficient control of three-phase motors in industrial machinery and automation systems. As part of the ABB ACS380 machinery drive series, it provides a practical drive solution for machine builders, OEMs and system integrators requiring dependable motor control and straightforward automation integration.

The ACS380 platform is designed around machinery applications, combining flexible motor control with a compact cabinet-mounting format. Adaptive programming and connectivity options help simplify integration with machine control systems, while the drive architecture supports reliable speed and torque control across applications such as conveyors, mixers, pumps and production machinery.

With an IEC rated motor power of 22 kW, nominal output current of 45 A and a three-phase 380–480 V AC supply, the ACS380-040N-045A-4 provides substantial motor-control capability in a compact IP20 drive. An integrated braking chopper further supports machinery applications requiring controlled deceleration and dynamic braking.

Key Advantages

  • Purpose-designed machinery variable frequency drive for OEM and industrial automation applications.
  • 22 kW IEC motor power rating for medium-power industrial machinery.
  • 45 A nominal output current for three-phase motor control.
  • Three-phase 380–480 V AC input suitable for common industrial power systems.
  • Integrated braking chopper supports controlled motor deceleration.
  • Adaptive programming provides flexibility for machine-specific control functions.
  • Compact IP20 construction simplifies installation within electrical control cabinets.

Key Features

  • ABB ACS380 machinery drive series.
  • 22 kW IEC rated motor power.
  • 45 A nominal output current.
  • Three-phase 380–480 V AC supply.
  • Maximum output voltage up to 480 V.
  • Maximum output frequency up to 599 Hz.
  • Integrated braking chopper for dynamic braking applications.
  • Adaptive programming for customised machine functions.
  • IP20 degree of protection.
  • Compact cabinet-mounted format for machine control panels.

Reliable Motor Control for Industrial Machinery

Variable frequency drives such as the ABB ACS380 regulate motor speed and torque by controlling the frequency and voltage supplied to the motor. This enables machinery to operate at the speed required by the process, helping improve production control, reduce unnecessary energy consumption and minimise mechanical stress on driven equipment.

The ACS380 series is particularly suited to machine builders and automation engineers because it combines motor-control functionality with flexible programming and industrial communication capabilities. The ACS380-040N-045A-4 can therefore form an effective part of automated machinery where dependable motor performance and integration with the wider control system are essential.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Mixers and processing machinery.
  • Packaging and production equipment.
  • Pumps, fans and ventilation machinery.
  • Textile and manufacturing machinery.
  • Cranes and constant-torque machinery.
  • OEM machines and automated production systems.
