ABB ACS380-040N-05A6-4 Machinery Drive 2.2 kW 5.6 A
Description
ACS380-040N-05A6-4 for 2.2 kW machine drives
The ACS380-040N-05A6-4 is an ABB ACS380 machinery drive module for 3-phase 380 to 480 V supplies. Frame R1 houses the 5.6 A, 2.2 kW power stage. Machine builders use this size for conveyors, mixers, fans and small pumps. ABB supplies it as the base variant without an I/O or fieldbus extension module, with the low filtering level (C3 filter on 400 V, no internal filter on 230 V).

Ratings, duty classes and motor matching
The catalogue gives three current figures for this type: 4.8 A in light-overload use, 3.4 A in heavy-duty use and 6.1 A as the maximum output current. Overload capability is 110% for one minute out of ten in light use and 150% in heavy duty, valid at 50 degrees C ambient. UL rating on the ABB page: 3 Hp, 4.8 A at 480 V. Start from the motor nameplate current rather than the kilowatt figure.
Branch protection in the catalogue is 10 A gG or 32 A gR (IEC) and 10 A class T (UL). A UL installation can use MS132-10 & S1-M3-25 at 7.7 A input; its minimum enclosure volume is 1850 cubic inches. Expect about 93 W (317 BTU/h) of heat loss; air flow 57 m3/h (33 ft3/min), maximum sound level 63 dBA.
A brake chopper is built in as standard. The resistor window is 99 to 206 ohm, with 2 Hp continuous braking power. The same firmware includes brake sequence control for holding brakes and supports induction and permanent magnet motors.
Type code and option codes
The designation splits into ACS380, 04 for module, 0 for the EMC filter level, N for connectivity, 05A6 for size and 4 for voltage class. S means a BMIO-01 I/O and Modbus module is fitted; N means no module; C means a configured variant with a module chosen by plus code. Plus codes such as +K451 for FDNA-01 DeviceNet, +K454 for FPBA-01 PROFIBUS DP, +K457 for FCAN-01 CANopen apply to the C variant only.
Ambient limits are -10 to +50 degrees C (60 with derating on frames R1 to R4) and 5 to 95% humidity without condensation. Altitude is 0 to 4000 m for 400 V units and 0 to 2000 m for 200 V units, with derating above 1000 m. A motor cable of up to 150 m needs no extra filter, according to the catalogue.
Source document and RFQ
The figures above come from the ABB ACS380 machinery drives catalogue (US edition, Rev E, linked here) and the ABB product page for the ACS380-040N-05A6-4. Seven Star LLC quotes the ACS380-040N-05A6-4 from Muscat after you send the motor nameplate, voltage and fieldbus needs.
Confirm before ordering: the full type code with plus options, motor current at your voltage, EMC category, brake resistor and derating for temperature and altitude. The catalogue is a US edition, so cross-check IEC values against ABB hardware manual 3AXD50000029274. Other ratings are listed in AC drives, and the wall-mounted general purpose sibling is on the ABB ACS580 page.

About brand
ABB is the Swiss-Swedish engineering group for electrification and automation: low voltage drives, motors, circuit breakers and motor control, process instruments and analysers, control systems and robots. It was formed on 5 January 1988 by the merger of two older companies. ASEA was founded in Västerås, Sweden, in 1883 by Ludvig Fredholm to make electric lighting and generators. BBC Brown Boveri was founded in Baden near Zurich in 1891 by Charles E. L. Brown and Walter Boveri. ABB Ltd is incorporated in Switzerland, headquartered in Zurich and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.

Choosing an ABB drive
ABB's ACS drive codes are easy to read once you know the pattern. In ACS580-01-046A-4, "ACS580" is the drive family, "01" means a wall-mounted single drive, "046A" is the rated output current (about 46 A) and "-4" means a 380–480 V supply. The family is chosen by application: ACS355 for compact machinery, ACS310 for simple pumps and fans, ACS580 as the general-purpose drive, ACQ580 for water and wastewater with pump functions such as pipe fill and dry-run protection, and ACS880 for heavy industrial duty with direct torque control. Size the drive on the motor's full-load current, not only its kW rating, and allow derating for the high ambient temperatures common in Gulf electrical rooms.
Where ABB products are used
In Oman and the GCC, ABB drives and motors run pumps, fans and compressors in water and wastewater plants, district cooling, oil and gas and industry. ABB flowmeters, level instruments and analysers are used in water utilities, power and desalination plants and refineries, and SACE breakers protect switchboards in buildings and plants.

Ordering ABB products: what we need
Send the full type code from the nameplate (for example ACS580-01-046A-4 or 266DSH...) and, for spare parts, the ABB ID number (such as 3BSE008508R1 or 1SBL176001R3010). For drives, add the motor power and current and any option codes (+...). For instruments, send the complete order code, which sets range, materials and approvals. Baldor motors are listed on their own brand page.
