Product details

What the BOM line is buying

It takes a 3-phase supply between 380 V and 480 V at 47.5... 63 Hz, which fixes the upstream transformer or feeder spec the panel builder has to coordinate with. Enclosure is Open Type / IP20, meaning the drive belongs inside an enclosure — not on the machine surface — and clearances around the housing are part of the panel layout, not an afterthought.

Mechanical envelope and cabinet planning

The R4 frame measures 10.236 in wide by 9.449 in high by 7.031 in deep, so cabinet cutout, door swing, and adjacent component spacing all key off that footprint. Module mounting type is the standard ABB module pattern for this frame, sized to drop into a panel build without adapter plates. At a 2000 m altitude rating, no site de-rating applies for most industrial plants; any installation above that ceiling needs a thermal review against the drive's own derating curve.

Line-side and acoustic notes

Power factor lands at 0.98, which is the figure a site electrical engineer cites when sizing the feeder, the PFC bank, and the harmonic study — that number is the line-side posture, not the motor-side output. Sound emission is 69 dB(A), so cabinet acoustic treatment only matters if the enclosure sits in an operator-occupied zone; in a plant-room or remote MCC the level is unremarkable.

Shipping and compliance posture

The unit ships without any battery or cell fitted, which keeps the dangerous-goods profile flat for airfreight and standard sea-freight declarations.

Frequently asked questions

What supply voltage and phase does the ACS180-04N-050A-4 accept?

Three-phase 380... 480 V at 47.5... 63 Hz. The panel feed and any step-down transformer have to land inside that envelope.

What is the frame size and footprint of the ACS180-04N-050A-4?

R4 frame, 10.236 in wide by 9.449 in high by 7.031 in deep. Cabinet cutout, door swing and adjacent component spacing all key off that footprint.

What fieldbus does the ACS180-04N-050A-4 speak?

MODBUS. The spec lists MODBUS as the communication protocol; no second protocol is given, so the PLC side is built as a MODBUS master.

What is the enclosure rating on the ACS180-04N-050A-4?

Open Type / IP20. The drive is intended for cabinet mounting, not surface mounting on the machine.

Does the ACS180-04N-050A-4 contain a battery?

No battery or cell is included with the unit, which keeps the dangerous-goods shipping profile flat.

How is the ACS180-04N-050A-4 sourced?

The part is quoted to order against an RFQ with an estimated lead time of 1 - 10 working days. Send the BOM line for a firm quote.
