Drive selection memo — 3ABD00048158
The 3ABD00048158 is an ABB ACS380 LV AC machinery drive module, Frame R2, rated 5.5 kW normal-use output at 12.6 A on a 380-480 V three-phase supply. Heavy-duty use drops to 4 kW / 9.4 A; light-overload stays at 5.5 kW / 12 A. The IE2 efficiency level meets the base line for standard industrial motor drives in most regions. IP20 enclosure means it's for cabinet mounting — no washdown exposure. Frequency range 47.5 to 63 Hz covers 50/60 Hz mains globally.
What the duty ratings mean for fit
The normal-use rating (5.5 kW, 12.6 A) is the continuous rating for a standard variable-torque load — fans, pumps, conveyors running at constant speed. The heavy-duty rating (4 kW, 9.4 A) governs constant-torque or high-starting-torque applications like crushers, extruders, or hoists. If your load profile calls for sustained overload, size off the heavy-duty figure; for light cyclic overloads, the light-overload rating (5.5 kW, 12 A) gives a bit more headroom than the normal-use current.
