Product details

The ABB 3ABD00046178 is an ACS380-040C-045A-4+K492 LV AC machinery drive module in Frame R4, rated 22 kW / 45 A for normal-duty use on a 380–480 V 3-phase supply. Heavy-duty use is 18.5 kW / 38 A; light-overload use is 22 kW / 42.8 A. That means for a constant-torque load like a conveyor or extruder, size it to the heavy-duty figure — the 38 A IhD is the real-world limit for continuous rated torque. For variable-torque (pump/fan) applications, the normal-duty 45 A applies. Efficiency class is IE2, which is the baseline for this power band — no premium IE3 label, but for a 22 kW drive the IE2 losses are still within the 96% range typical of this generation. The frequency range is 47.5–63 Hz, covering 50/60 Hz grids globally. Mounting is module-style (open type, NEMA 1 equivalent), IP20 — so it goes inside a panel or cabinet, not in a washdown area. Frame R4 means the mechanical footprint matches the ACS380 R4 mounting pattern; if you're swapping an older drive on the same backplate, confirm the hole spacing.

Lifecycle status is Active — this is a current-production catalog item from ABB.

Integration note

The module is an open-type IP20 unit — plan for cabinet mounting with adequate clearance for the R4 heat sink airflow. Input voltage is 380–480 V 3-phase, so it lands on a standard 400 V or 480 V distribution bus without a transformer. The ACS380 series uses a detachable control panel and has a built-in brake chopper on this frame size; if you need dynamic braking for vertical loads, confirm the external resistor rating separately.

Frequently asked questions

What is 3ABD00046178's listed frame size?

The frame size is R4, which determines the mechanical mounting footprint and heat sink dimensions for the ACS380 series.

What compliance documentation is available for 3ABD00046178?

The part carries WEEE Category 5 classification (Small Equipment). For RoHS, REACH, and UL documentation, the standard ABB compliance declarations for the ACS380 series apply — these are available from the manufacturer upon request.
