ACS800-04/U4 product overview

The ACS800-04/U4 is an IP00 drive module for controlling AC motors. It is to be installed into a cabinet by the customer with base or wall fastening. The input cable terminals are located at the top of the unit whereas the motor cable terminals are located at the left- or right-hand side of the unit. The unit is delivered pre-assembled with mounting pedestal and output busbars.

Type designation label

The type designation label includes an IEC and NEMA rating, C-UL US, and CSA markings, a type code and a serial number, which allow individual recognition of each unit. The first digit of the serial number refers to the manufacturing plant. The next four digits refer to the unit’s manufacturing year and week respectively. The remaining digits complete the serial number so that there are no two units with the same serial number.

The type designation label is located on the front cover and the serial number label inside the unit. Example labels are shown below.

Type code

The type code contains information on the specifications and configuration of the drive. The first digits from left express the basic configuration (for example, ACS800-04-0170-5). The optional selections are given thereafter, separated by plus signs (for example, +E202). The main selections are described below. Not all selections are available for all types.
