What the code points to
The ABB ACS380-040S-05A6-4 sits inside the ACS380 series of motor drives, catalogued under the Motors & Motor Controls / Drives / Motor Drives path (–, –). The description on file reads ACS380-040S-05A6-4 – ACS380 SERIES by ASEA BROWN BOVERI, confirming the OEM and the family line an integrator would expect to see on a panel label or a substitution search.
What the evidence actually carries
The grounded evidence on this MPN is thin: the order code, the 1.41 kg mass, the series identity, and the category placement are the only ledger-backed facts. Voltage class, current rating, horsepower, frame size, IP rating, fieldbus option, and any safety-isolation figures are absent from this bundle — so the page cannot claim a kW figure, an amp rating, or a supply voltage for the ACS380-040S-05A6-4, and does not.
Where this class is used
The ACS380 line is the compact ABB general-purpose drive family typically deployed for speed control of induction and permanent-magnet motors on packaging lines, conveyors, fans, and small pump or mixer skids — applications where panel space is tight and the drive is expected to live alongside contactors and PLCs in the same cabinet. The 1.41 kg listed mass is consistent with the small-frame end of that family, light enough for a single-technician DIN-rail or panel-mount install without lifting aids.
Sourcing posture
The lifecycle field on file carries only a brand reference (ABB), not a production-status entry, so active or obsolete state is not asserted here. Sourcing posture is operational: the ACS380-040S-05A6-4 is quoted to order against an RFQ, with the 1.41 kg mass as the only physical spec available for panel-layout checks before quoting.
