Product details

The ABB ACS550-01-157A-4 is an ACS550-series three-phase AC drive rated 157 A output at 380-480 VAC, 50/60 Hz, sized for a 75 kW motor load. The -01 code marks the IEC installation build. Output rating of three-phase 157 A at 75 kW puts this frame in the heavy-industrial bracket — fans, pumps, conveyors and constant-torque process machinery where the drive carries the full motor nameplate current, not a lightly loaded HVAC fan profile. Enclosure rating is UL Type/NEMA 1, so the unit is intended for a clean indoor cabinet behind a filtered enclosure rather than a washdown or dusty plant floor — match the surrounding panel to the same ingress class.

Rating that decides the fit

The 157 A output figure is the load-bearing number on this listing; motor nameplate full-load current at 75 kW sits below that ceiling with normal service factor, so the drive has the thermal headroom to absorb modest overload peaks without an immediate upsize — but verify the worst-case motor FLA and any cyclic overload duty against the drive's own thermal curve rather than the headline kW.

Handling and panel footprint

Cabinet weight is 35.38 kgs, which puts the unit into two-person lift or hoist territory during installation and replacement — plan the enclosure floor or lower-mounting bracket around that mass rather than a high wall-mount position, and confirm the panel structural rating before slide-in service.

Frequently asked questions

Is the ACS550-U1-114A-2 a functional second source for the ACS550-01-157A-4?

No — the U1-114A-2 is the 208-240 V / 114 A / 30 kW US/NEMA build, while the -01-157A-4 is the 380-480 V / 157 A / 75 kW IEC build; they are siblings in the ACS550 family but operate on different supply voltages and motor power classes, so the U1 cannot drop into a panel specified for the -01 frame.

How heavy is the ACS550-01-157A-4?

Listed cabinet weight is 35.38 kgs, so installation and replacement call for a two-person lift or hoist rather than a single-operator handling.
