Three duty points are listed: normal use (18.5 kW / 38 A), heavy-duty (15 kW / 32 A), and light-overload (18.5 kW / 36 A). The heavy-duty figure governs continuous operation on a constant-torque load like a conveyor or extruder; the normal-use figure applies to variable-torque loads such as pumps and fans. The light-overload current sits between them — useful when the drive runs a motor that occasionally exceeds the normal-duty curve but stays within the drive's thermal capacity.","metaTitle":"ABB 3ABD00046177 ACS380 Drive Module, 18.5 kW, 38 A, R4","metaDescription":"ABB ACS380-040C-038A-4+K492 drive module, 18.5 kW normal-use output, 38 A, 380-480 V, 3-phase, IP20, frame R4.
