Part Number: 3AXD50001001711
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50001001711 AC drive is a rugged LV AC wall-mounted unit for outdoor industrial use. Outdoor installations demand reliable, sealed drives that resist rain, dust, heat, and salt spray to minimize downtime. Built with Type 4X / IP66 protection, UV resistance and an optional sun shield, it thrives in harsh environments. Like many ABB drives, it supports efficient motor control for cooling towers, pumps and processing equipment, delivering lower maintenance and uptime. Its compatibility with 480 V three-phase systems and UL-listed design helps engineering teams meet safety, reliability, and compliance goals while reducing total cost of ownership in facilities worldwide.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001001711 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 from rain, dust, salt spray and washdowns, reducing corrosion risk and unplanned downtime. This protection lowers maintenance costs and extends service life in outdoor equipment, such as cooling towers and outdoor pumping stations, where weather is a constant variable. Biocide resistance of the enclosure and finishes preserves connector integrity and drive electronics, slowing wear and enabling predictable maintenance windows in water treatment plants and chemical processing lines. UV resistance, with an optional sun shield, minimizes material degradation and thermal stress, supporting stable performance in direct sunlight for outdoor HVAC condensers, irrigation pumps, and outdoor conveyors. The 480 V three-phase compatibility and 2 HP rating streamline procurement and installation, reducing wiring complexity and enabling seamless integration with existing plant motors. Wall mounting saves footprint and simplifies service access, while the rugged enclosure supports washdowns and humid environments. ABB engineering and UL listing provide reliability and easier support planning for outdoor facilities, improving overall equipment effectiveness and lifecycle cost.

FAQs
This drive uses a sealed IP66 / Type 4X enclosure and can be wall-mounted for compact outdoor installations. It’s designed to withstand rain, dust and salt spray, with UV resistance and an optional sun shield to maintain performance in direct sun. Ensure a proper outdoor-rated disconnect and wiring method per local codes.
The unit offers IP66/Type 4X protection and UV resistance, suitable for harsh outdoor conditions. It is designed for corrosion resistance in biocide-rich cooling tower environments and can be fitted with an optional sun shield. It is aligned with UL standards for listed equipment to support safe operation.
Yes. The sealed 4X/IP66 enclosure and corrosion-resistant design tolerate biocides commonly used in cooling towers, salt spray and high humidity. This reduces maintenance frequency and corrosion-related failures, delivering longer service life for cooling, pumping, and water treatment applications.
Variable speed control enables energy optimization and smoother startup, lowering energy consumption and peak demand. The rugged enclosure reduces downtime from weather-related failures, lowering maintenance costs and extending motor life, which translates into a faster payback in outdoor HVAC, pumping, and processing systems.
Confirm compatibility with 480 V three-phase supply and 2 HP motor loads. Verify enclosure rating, space for wall mounting, and availability of the sun shield option for sun-exposed sites. Plan for routine maintenance access and spare parts availability for long-term support.
