What this drive is, and why the order code matters
The ABB ACS180-04S-07A2-4 sits in the ACS180 compact-drive family and is catalogued under Motors & Motor Controls, Drives, Motor Drives. It weighs 0.56 kgs, so a single tech can mount it on a DIN-rail or backplate without lifting gear, and panel loading math is a non-event at this mass. The drive is referenced by ASEA BROWN BOVERI in the title block, matching the ABB brand on the order code.
Where the class is applied
Compact AC drives in this frame range typically run small three-phase induction or permanent-magnet motors on packaging lines, conveyors, fans, and pumps where the cabinet depth matters more than the kilowatt figure. The 0.56 kg mass keeps the drive comfortable in shallow wall-mount enclosures where heavier frames would push the installer toward a floor-standing build.
Peer-frame contrast worth flagging
ACS150-01E-02A4-2 and ACS150-03U-03A5-2 are older-generation frames weighing 1.04 kgs and 1.09 kgs respectively, well outside this drive's mass class — treat them as alternate drives, not as drop-in replacements.
Sourcing posture
Compliance certificates are not present in this ledger and should be requested with the quote; standard ABB drive documentation typically includes the CE / IEC rating pack on the same channel.
