Order code and what it pins down
The ABB ACS850-04-08A0-5+0C168 is a low-voltage AC drive from the ACS850-04 wall-mount family, catalogued under Motors & Motor Controls / Drives / Motor Drives. Order code ACS850-04-08A0-5+0C168 breaks down into the base frame (ACS850-04), the 8A0 current size, the 5 enclosure/voltage class, and the +0C168 plus-string that carries factory option content — the plus-string has to be decoded against the ACS850 configurator before an order is released, because two drives on the same base code can ship with different option boards.
Sizing and panel handling
The drive is listed at 2.38 kgs, which sits in the range where a single technician can handle the unit on a backplate but a two-person lift is the safer call — wall-mount backplate and M6-style anchors need to be confirmed against the ACS850-04 mechanical drawing before the panel goes in.
Where this class sits in the line
ACS850-04 units are the compact member of the ABB industrial drive family, used for standard industrial motor control where a cabinet-mounted low-voltage drive is specified — the broader ACS850 series covers the wider current range while the ACS880 family now supersedes it in ABB's current portfolio.
Sourcing posture
The ACS850-04-08A0-5+0C168 is specified to order against an RFQ — the base code, the +0C168 option string, and the panel mechanical spec all travel together, so the order line should carry the full plus-string and the destination panel reference to avoid a kitting gap on delivery.
