Product details

The ABB 3ABD00048148 is an ACS380-040C-038A-4 low-voltage AC machinery drive rated for 18.5 kW normal-use output at 38 A, with a heavy-duty capability of 15 kW at 32 A. It operates on a 380–480 V three-phase supply at 47.5–63 Hz, carries an IE2 efficiency classification, and is enclosed to IP20 in an open-type NEMA frame R4.

Frame size R4 determines the mechanical envelope and mounting footprint — critical for retrofit into an existing panel layout where the drive must match the backplate cutout and DIN-rail or screw-hole pattern of the previous unit.

For BOM-line commitments, the active lifecycle removes the urgency of a last-time buy, but the IE2 efficiency band and IP20 enclosure should be verified against the site's environmental and energy-compliance requirements before specification.
