Part Number: 3AXD50001001773
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-01-023A-4+B066 LV AC wall-mounted drive enables reliable motor control in harsh environments. In outdoor settings such as cooling towers, weather exposure and dust can quickly degrade drives if they’re not properly protected. The device features Type 4X/IP66 enclosure, UV resistance, and an optional sun shield to withstand sun exposure, while corrosion resistance guards against biocides and salt spray. By integrating with ABB automation ecosystems, it delivers predictable performance, reduced downtime, and improved energy efficiency, offering a clear business case for upgrade or replacement in utility and process applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001001773 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.
Rugged, fully sealed IP66, Type 4X enclosure protects the drive electronics from rain, dust, and salt spray. This configuration reduces unscheduled downtime by preventing water ingress and corrosion in outdoor installations. In practice, it means fewer field service calls and longer maintenance intervals at cooling towers, pumping stations, and outdoor processing skids. Biocide-resistant construction delivers exceptional corrosion resistance to the chemicals used in cooling towers. The result is extended component life and lower spare-parts inventory in water treatment and industrial processes. This durability translates into higher asset availability and lower lifecycle costs. UV-resistant housing and an optional sun shield protect the drive from direct sunlight. That helps maintain stable operating temperatures, reducing thermal stress and drift in drive electronics. It also boosts reliability for plants at remote sites, outdoor chiller housings, and heat-exchange systems. With 15 HP capacity and 23 A at 480 V, the ACH580-01-023A-4+B066 is suited for common motor loads in HVAC, water handling, and conveyors. Its compatibility with standard three-phase motors simplifies retrofits and minimizes oversizing, enabling smoother commissioning. The result is faster project delivery and predictable performance across shifts. Its integration with ABB’s drive family and control architecture eases commissioning and diagnostics. The wall-mounted form factor saves cabinet space and reduces wiring complexity in retrofit projects. Clear documentation and remote diagnostics support faster maintenance and reduced downtime. Energy-efficient motor control features help reduce energy bills while protecting equipment from overload or short circuits. Protective functions guard against over-voltage, over-current, and thermal faults, strengthening plant safety. These capabilities support reliable operation in dusty or hot environments where maintenance windows are limited. Reliability is built into the design, delivering consistent speed control and torque management under variable loads. This translates to higher uptime for critical processes and better process stability in outdoor industrial applications. Ultimately, customers gain a rugged, adaptable drive that lowers lifecycle cost, simplifies maintenance, and improves asset performance in outdoor industrial settings.

FAQs
Install the ACH580-01-023A-4+B066 in an outdoor-rated enclosure or mounting location that preserves its IP66/Type 4X protection. Ensure cables are shielded, grounded, and run in protected conduits to prevent water ingress. Consider the optional sun shield in high-irradiance environments, and follow ABB installation guidelines for proper clearance, ventilation, and maintenance access to enable reliable field service.
Confirm the nominal horsepower and current: 15 HP, 23 A, and 480 V, three-phase input. Check efficiency, motor protection features, motor diagnostics, and compatibility with ABB's Controller or SDC. Ensure environment rating IP66/Type 4X and UV resistance. Validate communication interfaces and motor control modes (V/Hz, vector control) for your load profile.
Yes. The ACH580-01-023A-4+B066 is designed for cooling towers and other outdoor equipment, with corrosion resistance to biocides, salt spray, and dust. The fully sealed enclosure and optional sun shield maintain reliability in humid, chlorinated environments. It supports variable speed control, reducing pump energy consumption while maintaining process stability.
It features IP66 Type 4X protection and UV resistance for outdoor use. The labeling references UL and 15 HP, so confirm local regulatory compliance with ABB documentation. Ensure installations meet applicable electrical codes and safety standards. Use manufacturer documentation for any CE/UL confirmations and field testing as required by your site.
Outdoor duty drives reduce maintenance by preventing ingress and corrosion, extending service life and reducing downtime. The 15 HP, 480 V drive improves energy efficiency for pump and fan loads and lowers peak demand. Combined with ABB diagnostics and predictable performance, you can justify retrofit costs through reduced maintenance trips and enhanced asset availability.
