Cost-Effective and Economical Drive:The ACS180 series is ABB’s entry-level drive designed for basic industrial applications such as fans, pumps, compressors, and conveyors—offering reliable performance at a low cost, ideal for budget-conscious projects.

Suitable for Medium-Power Motors (11 kW):The “038A” in the model indicates a rated output current of 38 A, capable of driving an 11 kW (15 HP) three-phase induction motor—perfect for medium-duty industrial machinery.

Compact Design with Side-by-Side Mounting:Despite its higher power rating, it features a compact footprint and supports 0 mm clearance side-by-side installation, saving valuable panel space and enabling dense drive configurations.

Wide Input Voltage Range (380–480 V AC):Compatible with standard 3-phase industrial power supplies worldwide, ensuring stable operation under varying grid conditions and voltage fluctuations.

Integrated RFI Filter (Class C1):Standard built-in RFI filter compliant with EMC Class C1 (residential/light industrial environments), reducing electromagnetic interference and simplifying system design.

Built-in Brake Chopper for Dynamic Braking:Equipped with an integrated brake chopper that supports external braking resistors—ideal for applications requiring rapid stopping or handling high-inertia loads.
