Why Choose the ABB ACS480-04-04A8-2 General Purpose Drive?

The ABB 3AXD50000217328, type designation ACS480-04-04A8-2, is a compact and capable AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed for variable-speed motor control in general industrial applications. As part of the ABB ACS480 general purpose drive series, it provides the essential control, safety and communication functionality required for applications such as compressors, fans, conveyors and light industrial machinery.

The ACS480 series is designed as a ready-made drive package with essential features integrated as standard, helping simplify drive selection, installation and commissioning. Straightforward settings menus and commissioning assistants make the drive suitable for applications requiring efficient basic speed and variable-torque control without unnecessary additional hardware.

With a nominal motor power rating of 0.75 kW, rated output current of 4.8 A and a three-phase 200–240 V AC supply, the ACS480-04-04A8-2 is particularly suitable for smaller motors used in conveyors, fans, pumps, compressors and processing equipment. Its compact R1 frame and IP20 enclosure are optimised for installation inside electrical control cabinets.
