It's been sitting in a warehouse forever in a day->new old stock. It's ABB brand. ABB is known for their switching gear, especially in medium and high voltage. Their VFDs are very good too, similar to AB, and Yaskawa in quality. Model ACS-141-1K1-1U: The 140 series, 1 phase, 1K1:.55KW...

New and unused!

Mounting supports DIN rail too!

Control wires go in this side. Heatsink is part of the mount.
