Why Choose the ABB ACS380-040N-048A-2 Machinery Drive?

The ABB ACS380-040N-048A-2, product ID 3AXD50000137121, is a compact machinery variable frequency drive (VFD) developed for precise speed and torque control in machine-building and industrial automation applications. Part of ABB's ACS380 machinery drive family, this base variant provides a streamlined platform for OEMs and system integrators that want to configure the required control and communication functionality around the machine.

The ACS380 range is designed for machinery applications in industries including material handling, food and beverage, plastics and general manufacturing. Reliable motor-control performance, pre-programmed application functionality and a compact panel-mounting format make the drive well suited to conveyors, mixers, extruders, palletisers and other automated equipment requiring repeatable variable-speed operation.

The ACS380-040N-048A-2 provides a nominal output rating of 11 kW and 48 A and operates from a three-phase 200–240 V AC supply. Its open-type R4 frame, maximum output frequency of 599 Hz and machinery-focused design provide a flexible solution for integrating substantial low-voltage motors into automated equipment and control panels.

Key Advantages

  • Purpose-designed machinery variable frequency drive for OEM and automation applications.
  • 11 kW nominal output power for substantial machine-drive applications.
  • 48 A nominal output current.

Reliable Variable-Speed Control for Automated Machinery

The ABB ACS380 regulates the frequency and voltage supplied to a three-phase motor so its speed can be matched to the operating requirements of the machine. Controlled acceleration, deceleration and speed adjustment can improve process repeatability while reducing unnecessary mechanical shock to motors, gearboxes, conveyors and other driven components.

The ACS380-040N-048A-2 is particularly suited to machine builders requiring a compact base drive for integration into a larger control architecture. Its sensorless vector capability provides dependable speed and torque performance for induction and permanent-magnet motors, while the base-variant format allows the machine's I/O and communication solution to be selected according to the automation design.

Typical Applications

  • Industrial conveyors and material handling systems.
  • Packaging and production machinery.
  • Mixers and agitators.
  • Extruders and plastics-processing equipment.
  • Palletisers and automated handling machinery.
  • Food and beverage processing machines.
  • Textile machinery.
  • OEM production equipment.
  • Automated assembly systems.
  • Industrial machine control panels.
