Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001001643 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.
Sealed IP66 / Type 4X enclosure protects the drive electronics from rain, dust, and salt spray, delivering significantly higher uptime and reducing enclosure-related failures in outdoor installations. This level of protection is essential for cooling towers and coastal facilities where environmental exposure is constant and service windows are short. The rugged enclosure also simplifies retrofit projects by allowing direct mounting on a wall, minimizing cabinet footprint and wiring complexity. UV-resistant housing and an optional sun shield extend outdoor reliability, protecting critical electronics from ultraviolet degradation and sun glare. In plants with long daylight hours or coastal sites, this reduces failure rates and extends component life, translating to lower replacement costs. The sun shield option adds extra protection in extreme sun conditions without complicating maintenance. Wall-mount design reduces the need for heavy enclosures and simplifies installation. With 24 A and 240 V compatibility, wiring is straightforward, accelerating commissioning and reducing labor time. The compact footprint also makes it easier to integrate with existing ABB automation systems and fieldbus networks. Energy efficiency and precise motor control are at the core of this drive, enabling smooth starts and stops that minimize mechanical stress and electricity spikes. Facilities can achieve better process stability and reduced energy consumption, supporting ROI targets in pumping, fans, and conveyors. The device is built to meet demanding regulatory expectations while providing long-term reliability. Compatibility and installation advantages include plug-and-play wiring, robust mounting options, and protection against environmental hazards. This drive fits neatly into ABB's ACH580 family, enabling consistent performance across multiple lines and easier procurement. The rugged design reduces the need for external enclosures, lowering total installed cost and downtime.
