Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001001742 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, corrosion-resistant enclosure with IP66 Type 4X protection and UV-resistant housing ensures reliable operation in rain, salt spray, and dusty plant floors. This reduces unplanned downtime and maintenance costs while extending service life for cooling towers, outdoor fans, and pumping stations. The drive delivers 5 HP at 480 V with 7.6 A, enabling smoother motor control and improved energy efficiency for motor-driven systems, including HVAC fans and process pumps, contributing to lower operating expenses. Wall-mounted installation simplifies deployment, while compatibility with UL-listed configurations supports safe integration into existing control architectures and panels. The robust enclosure withstands biocide exposure common in cooling towers, lowering corrosion risk and maintenance frequency. An optional sun shield adds outdoor reliability by mitigating thermal buildup during peak sun hours, reducing thermal stress on electronics.

FAQs
When installing this drive, place it in a location with adequate ventilation, ensure IP66 Type 4X rated enclosure remains intact, and verify mounting on a stable surface. Use proper cable routing to minimize EMI, and consider the optional sun shield for outdoor installations to mitigate solar heating. Verify 480 V input and 7.6 A current rating during setup.
Yes. The enclosure is IP66 Type 4X, UV-resistant, and designed to withstand rain, salt spray, dust, and temperature extremes, making it well-suited for outdoor cooling towers and pump control in challenging environments. UL listing further supports safe integration into control panels and field installations.
The drive features IP66 protection with Type 4X enclosure and UL listing, signaling robust ingress protection and compliance with many safety standards. These certifications reduce risk for outdoor or harsh-environment deployments, simplify panel approvals, and support long-term reliability in industrial facilities.
The drive is a 5 HP unit designed for 480 V AC input, drawing approximately 7.6 A under full load. This combination supports reliable control of 3-phase motors in typical industrial applications, delivering stable performance for fans, pumps, and conveyors with energy-efficient operation.
The fully sealed, IP66 Type 4X enclosure protects against rain, dust, salt spray, and biocides, reducing corrosion risk and minimizing unplanned downtime. This translates to lower maintenance frequency, longer service life for the drive and connected motors, and overall lower lifecycle costs in harsh environments.
