FAQs
The ACS380 is designed for straightforward retrofit and new builds, offering 400 V IEC and 480 V UL variants to match regional electrical grids. It supports PROFINET communication and PROFIsafe for integrated safety, reducing the need for disparate safety modules. Wiring is simplified with standard ABB interfaces, and the compact form factor eases mounting in machine enclosures. For retrofits, verify motor rating alignment (1.1 kW IEC / 1.5 Hp UL) and ensure compatible braking resistors are present. Commissioning benefits from documented parameter sets and adaptable programming that shorten setup times and minimize commissioning risk.
ACS380-040N-03A3-4 provides IEC ratings of 1.1 kW with 3.3 A at 400 V, and UL ratings of 1.5 Hp with 3.0 A at 480 V. These specs determine available torque, acceleration profiles, and energy efficiency across regional power supplies. The 400 V/480 V variants enable consistent performance across machines such as conveyors and mixers, while maintaining safe current levels and thermal margins. Performance tuning through adaptive programming further optimizes motor response for varying load conditions without overloading the drive.
Yes. The ACS380 is well-suited for conveyor systems, mixers, and textile machinery due to its precise motor control, robust safety features, and flexible voltage options. Its PROFIsafe over PROFINET capability allows seamless integration with machine safety systems, a common requirement in material handling and textile equipment. The driveās small footprint, configurable acceleration/deceleration, and adaptive programming enable smooth start/stop sequences and energy-efficient operation across long conveyor runs and high-speed textile processes.
The ACS380 includes UL-listed safety capabilities and safety integration through PROFIsafe over PROFINET, enabling it to participate in machine safety systems without external safety modules. This enhances compliant risk reduction and safer machine operation. While CE conformity is typical for ABB drives, always verify local certification needs with your compliance team. In practice, these features support safer commissioning, predictable shutdown behavior, and reliable emergency stopping aligned with industrial safety standards.
Expected ROI stems from reduced wiring complexity with PROFIsafe over PROFINET, lower downtime due to safer integrated designs, and faster commissioning through adaptive programming. The drive's robust hardware and compatibility across 400 V and 480 V variants simplify spare parts inventory and maintenance planning. Long-term cost savings come from improved energy efficiency, reduced fault incidence, and faster deployment across new lines or upgrades in food, material handling, and textile applications.
