ACS180-04S-09A4-4 drive selection: current, load duty and machine integration
The ABB ACS180-04S-09A4-4 is an IP20 machinery drive with a 4 kW IEC nominal output rating and 9.4 A rated current for the 400 V class. The full designation is important when checking a replacement because frame, supply and current variants are not interchangeable by family name alone.

The table summarizes family or catalog values for identification and initial selection. Confirm the nameplate, environmental limits, standards, revision and options for the exact device before procurement or engineering approval.
Application and system selection
Match the drive to motor nameplate current and the machine’s torque profile across its operating range. Conveyors, mixers and pumps can require different overload capability, acceleration ramps and braking arrangements. Confirm starts per hour, low-speed cooling, required speed range and the available supply before selecting a unit.
Configuration and compatibility
Review the exact ACS180 code, EMC requirements, control I/O, fieldbus and safety functions against the machine design. Verify upstream protection and short-circuit coordination using ABB’s current documentation. A nominal kilowatt match does not establish suitability if ambient conditions, overload, carrier frequency or motor cable length differ.

Installation and commissioning
Install with the specified orientation and cooling clearances, bond protective earth and route motor/control cables according to the drive manual. Observe DC-link discharge requirements before service. At commissioning, enter motor data, verify command and reference sources, test direction, ramps and stop behavior, then record parameters and alarms.
Replacement and procurement information
For a quotation or replacement review, provide the complete designation ACS180-04S-09A4-4, the order code where applicable, serial or hardware revision, quantity, operating environment, connected equipment and required delivery date. Include a legible nameplate image and relevant wiring, loop or switchgear drawing so the exact interface and configuration can be checked.
Ask the supplier to confirm accessories, revision compatibility and any approved successor in writing. Do not select solely from a family name or product photograph. Follow the current ABB installation and safety instructions for the exact unit.
