ACS480-04-02A7-4: motor-current and cabinet-integration dossier
ABB ACS480-04-02A7-4 is an ACS480 general-purpose variable-speed drive. ABB's ratings identify 0.75 kW nominal power, 2.6 A nominal output current and an R1 frame in the 380–480 V three-phase class. The allowable continuous current changes with duty and ambient conditions.
Technical data for identification
| Technical item | Verified value / selection note |
|---|---|
| Type designation | ACS480-04-02A7-4 |
| Three-phase supply | 380–480 V AC product class |
| Nominal power at 400 V | 0.75 kW |
| Nominal output current | 2.6 A |
| Light-duty current | 2.5 A at stated catalog conditions |
| Heavy-duty current | 1.8 A at stated catalog conditions |
| Frame | R1; verify ordered enclosure and options |
For a drive or softstarter, compare the motor nameplate, overload profile, upstream protection, cabling, heat rejection and stop category with the actual machine. The installation drawing and the fitted option codes govern the final selection.
Where this configuration fits
ACS480-04-02A7-4 should be assessed in the actual equipment arrangement. Use this size for a three-phase motor only after comparing the actual motor nameplate current, torque demand, overload time and cooling at reduced speed. Pump or fan service and constant-torque machinery can place different demands on the same hardware.
A request for ACS480-04-02A7-4 should identify the host system, process or motor duty, available supply and the expected normal and fault behavior. This makes the selection review specific to the installed equipment.
Order-code and compatibility review
For ACS480-04-02A7-4, Confirm enclosure, control-panel option, fieldbus, EMC arrangement, cable length, braking and safe-torque-off wiring against the project drawing. ABB's light-duty and heavy-duty ratings are not interchangeable selection figures.
Before substituting ACS480-04-02A7-4, compare the complete label with the engineering drawing, ABB configuration data, installed accessories and site approval record. A partial designation or a similar enclosure cannot establish interchangeability.
Field checks and acceptance
Commissioning of ACS480-04-02A7-4 should follow a controlled procedure. Record the existing drive parameters, motor data and wiring before replacement. Confirm protective earth, input protection and ventilation, then test direction, acceleration, stop response, alarms and the process feedback with the machine in a controlled state.
Capture the as-left settings, test points, abnormal-state response and revision of ACS480-04-02A7-4. Include photographs of its nameplate and terminal arrangement so the next service event can be traced.
