Product details

What the buyer is fitting

The ABB ACS355-03E-12A5-4 is a 3-phase inverter drive in the ACS355 family, sized for a 380 … 480 V supply at 50/60 Hz and rated 5.5 kW normal-use output at 12.5 A — the figure a panel builder should match to a 4-pole induction motor in the same frame, with normal-use meaning continuous duty rather than short-term peak. It is an IP20 open-type chassis with a 40 °C maximum ambient rating, so a cabinet with ventilation headroom is where this drive belongs — sealed enclosures need a derating check, not a hopeful install.

I/O count the integrator plans against

On the control side the drive exposes 2 analog inputs, 1 analog output, 5 digital inputs and 1 digital output, which sets the budget for a typical sensor-and-rail-valve machine — anything above that needs an I/O extension card, not a re-spec of this MPN.

Where this MPN sits in the ACS355-03E-4 line

The smaller ACS355-03E-01A2-4 (0.37 kW / 1.2 A) and the mid-frame ACS355-03E-15A6-4 bracket the 12A5-4 in this line — they share the 3-phase 380 … 480 V input class and the 03E EMC-filter-connected build, so a panel laid out for any of them accepts the others with wiring changes only.

Frequently asked questions

What is ACS355-03E-12A5-4's listed type on this Motor Drives line?

The listing records the type as Inverter Drive within Motors & Motor Controls → Drives → Motor Drives, matched by the model string ACS355-03E-12A5-4.

Will ACS355-03E-12A5-4 drop into a panel specified around ACS355-03E-38A0-4?

No — the 38A0-4 is an 18.5 kW / 38 A R4-frame unit, while the 12A5-4 is a 5.5 kW / 12.5 A chassis, so the current rating and the footprint class differ; the 12A5-4 fits a 12.5 A panel, not a 38 A one.
