The ABB ACS380-040C-17A0-4 (3ABD00057772) is a machinery drive module in the ACS380 family, rated for 7.5 kW normal-use output at 17.0 A, with a heavy-duty rating of 5.5 kW at 12.6 A. It's a 3-phase unit accepting 380–480 V input at 47.5–63 Hz, mounted as a module in an IP20 open-type enclosure. Frame size R1 keeps it compact for panel integration.
The normal-use current of 17.0 A is what you size for continuous motor duty—this drive handles a 7.5 kW motor at full load. The heavy-duty curve (12.6 A, 5.5 kW) matters if you're driving a pump or conveyor that sees occasional overloads; that's the rating that keeps the IGBTs alive during a stall or hard start. Light-overload use is listed at 16.2 A, 7.5 kW—same power as normal but with a slightly lower current ceiling, likely reflecting a different de-rating curve for cyclic loads.
Frame R1 means the drive footprint is small enough to fit a standard 400 mm deep panel. The module mounts with screws on a backplate—no DIN rail, so plan for a drilled gland plate. Input voltage range covers 380–480 V, so it works on 400 V or 480 V grids without a transformer swap. Frequency range of 47.5–63 Hz covers 50 Hz and 60 Hz supplies globally.
