The ABB 3ABD00046145 is an ACS380 series LV AC machinery drive module, order code ACS380-040C-038A-4+K470. It delivers 18.5 kW normal-duty output at 38 A from a 380-480 V three-phase supply, with a heavy-duty rating of 15 kW / 32 A for constant-torque loads such as conveyors or extruders. The frame size is R4, which determines the physical footprint and mounting hole pattern for panel integration.
The normal-use current of 38 A (In) defines the maximum continuous motor current for variable-torque applications (fans, pumps). The heavy-duty current of 32 A (IhD) applies to constant-torque or high-starting-torque loads — if your application requires full torque at low speed, size to the heavy-duty figure. The light-overload rating of 36 A (IlD) sits between the two, covering moderate overload profiles. Input voltage range 380-480 V AC, 47.5-63 Hz, covers standard 400 V and 480 V industrial mains without derating. The IE2 efficiency level means the drive meets the minimum efficiency class for standard induction motors in most regions.
The module is IP20 — open-type enclosure, intended for installation inside a control cabinet or electrical enclosure that provides the environmental seal. The R4 frame size determines the DIN-rail or backplate mounting footprint and the spacing needed for airflow and cable bending radius. The 3-phase input connects to a standard motor feeder; the drive itself is a module, not a full standalone drive with integrated disconnect or EMC filter — those are added externally per the system design.
