ABB 3AXD50001001391 LV AC General Purpose Drive - IP66 4X
Part Number: 3AXD50001001391
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50001001391 is a LV AC general purpose drive that controls motors in harsh industrial environments. When equipment sits outdoors or near corrosive biocides, standard drives degrade quickly, causing downtime and costly maintenance. UL listing with IP66 4X protection and UV resistance, plus an optional sun shield, ensure reliable operation in exposed sites. This rugged drive supports outdoor installations and demanding cooling tower applications, delivering longer life and lower total cost of ownership. Engineered for resilience, it reduces maintenance cycles and helps meet compliance for harsh environments. By integrating with ABB's ACH580 family, it aligns with existing control architectures. That combination supports predictive maintenance and easier scalability across facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001001391 ABB: Designed for operation in rain, heat, cold, salt spray, dust and other extreme environments, this drive is fully sealed, providing protection against external elements. Its design offers exceptional corrosion resistance to biocides typical for cooling tower applications. Additionally, the ACH580-01 Type 4X / IP66 is UV-resistant, and the optional sun shield makes it suitable for prolonged exposure to harsh sunlight.
Fully sealed enclosure and rugged construction protect the drive against rain, dust, salt spray, and temperature extremes. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Reduced field failures and maintenance cycles translate to higher uptime in outdoor HVAC and process installations. The sealed design minimizes ingress paths, enabling reliable performance in cooling towers and outdoor equipment without frequent enclosure upgrades. The result is lower lifecycle costs and predictable operation in harsh environments. Corrosion resistance tailored to biocides common in cooling tower environments enhances asset longevity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Longer component life reduces replacement intervals and maintenance labor, supporting compliance with industry durability standards while improving total cost of ownership. In addition, UV-resistant materials along with an optional sun shield extend service life under direct sunlight, minimizing derating or downtime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Outdoor deployments maintain consistent performance in hot climates and sunny sites, ideal for remote facilities or rooftop installations. Electrical compatibility supports simple retrofitting: UL-listed, 1 Hp output, 4.6 A, 240 V input with a wall-mounted footprint. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Quick installation in existing control cabinets or new builds reduces commissioning time and speeds project returns. The drive’s integration with ABB control ecosystems offers reliable communication with PLCs and safety systems, delivering safer operation and scalable control for growing sites.
