Description

Where the ACS380-040S-25A0-4 fits

Among the ACS380 machinery drives, the ACS380-040S-25A0-4 is a module for 3-phase 380 to 480 V input. Nominal output is 25.0 A at 11 kW, in frame R3. Machine builders use this size for compressors and mid-power machine axes. The standard variant (I/O and Modbus, BMIO-01 module fitted) comes with the low filtering level (C3 filter on 400 V, no internal filter on 230 V).

Choosing between light and heavy duty

Pick the current by load type: 21 A light-overload, 14 A heavy duty, 25.2 A maximum. The overload definitions are 110% for 60 seconds every ten minutes (light) and 150% for 60 seconds every ten minutes (heavy). UL rating on the ABB page: 15 Hp, 21 A at 480 V. Always size from the nameplate current at your supply voltage.

Branch protection in the catalogue is 50 A gG or 80 A gR (IEC) and 50 A class T (UL). Where a motor protector replaces fuses, ABB names MS165-42 against an input current of 33.6 A. Expect about 346 W (1182 BTU/h) of heat loss; air flow 128 m3/h (75 ft3/min), maximum sound level 66 dBA.

Braking needs no add-on module because the chopper is part of the drive. The resistor window is 23 to 39 ohm, with 10 Hp continuous braking power. The same firmware includes brake sequence control for holding brakes and supports induction and permanent magnet motors.

How the ACS380-040S-25A0-4 is configured

In ACS380-040S-25A0-4, the 04 means module construction, digit 0 chooses the filter, letter S selects the connectivity variant, 25A0 is the size and 4 the supply. Three connectivity letters exist: S (BMIO-01 I/O and Modbus), N (base, no module) and C (configured). Plus codes such as +L515 for the BIO-01 I/O extension, +R700 for an English printed manual, +K451 for FDNA-01 DeviceNet 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. Above 1000 m the current must be derated, up to 4000 m (400 V) or 2000 m (230 V). Motor cables up to 150 m are allowed without external chokes.

Control panel options

The ACS380 comes with an icon-based control panel as standard. ABB’s catalog lists several alternatives for the ACS380-040S-25A0-4:

ACS-AP-S / ACS-AP-I: assistant control panels with alphanumeric, multilingual display.
ACS-AP-W: assistant panel with Bluetooth, used with ABB’s free Drivetune mobile app to commission and monitor the drive from a phone.
ACS-BP-S: basic control panel for mounting in a cabinet door.
DPMP-01 / DPMP-02: flush and surface mounting platforms for door mounting (the panel is ordered separately).

The BSPL-01 panel bus adapter and BPLG-01 termination plug allow up to 32 ACS380 drives to be connected in a daisy chain to one assistant control panel.

PC tools and cold configuration

The free Drive composer tool covers start-up, maintenance and backups, and collects parameter loggers, faults and backups into a support diagnostics file. Drive composer pro adds custom parameter windows, graphical control diagrams and improved monitoring. The PC connects to the RJ45 panel port with the BCBL-01 cable. With the CCA-01 cold configuration adapter, parameters and even new software can be loaded into an unpowered drive, taking power from the PC’s USB port, which is useful for machine builders preparing drives before installation.

Fieldbus option codes

The S in this type code is the standard variant with I/O and built-in Modbus RTU. The configured (C) variant accepts preinstalled fieldbus adapters: +K451 DeviceNet, +K454 PROFIBUS DP, +K457 CANopen, +K469 EtherCAT, +K470 Ethernet POWERLINK, +K475 two-port EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP and PROFINET IO (FENA-21), and dual-port adapters +K490, +K491 and +K492. The 25 A, 400 V drive is a frame R3 unit.

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 ACS380-040S-25A0-4. To request the ACS380-040S-25A0-4, send Seven Star LLC your motor data and supply details; availability comes with the quotation.

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. Browse neighbouring sizes in AC drives; for a larger general purpose range see the ABB ACS580 drive.

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.
