What it is
The ABB ACS800-04M-0170-5 is a wall-mount industrial AC drive in the ACS800 family, listed under Motors & Motor Controls and sitting on the Motor Drives line. Mass on the spec sheet is 45.36 kg — a one-or-two-person lift that drives the cabinet structural check and the hoist plan before a swap-out, which is the only reason a weight figure on a drive this size earns a place on the page. Sourcing posture: this order code is quoted to order against an RFQ through the independent channel, so a buyer with a downed line or a BOM hole can move on a single part number rather than re-engineering the panel.
Frame-class delta vs the ACS880-01
For a panel originally specified around the ACS880-01-156A-5, the ACS800-04M-0170-5 should be treated as a like-function alternate only after the integrator checks the cabinet cutout, the cooling clearances and the control-board firmware — the part codes do not interchange silently.
Commissioning-side notes for a -04M swap
EMC posture: mount the drive on a grounded backplane with the line filter and motor-cable shield terminated at the drive end; long pigtails on the shield or filter defeat common-mode attenuation. Commissioning entry point: drive rating, motor nameplate and the encoder/feedback option card need to be confirmed against the panel drawing before energising — that is the parameter set that decides whether the drive holds torque under load rather than tripping on first ramp.
Sourcing close
For a BOM line already frozen on ACS800-04M-0170-5, the independent channel carries the part to order; for a panel currently running an ACS880-01-156A-5, treat the ACS800-04M-0170-5 as a like-function alternate only after the mechanical and firmware check above, not as a silent cross.
