ABB 3AXD50001001780 LV AC wall-mounted drive - Type 4X IP66
Part Number: 3AXD50001001780
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50001001780 is a LV AC general-purpose wall-mounted drive that controls motors in outdoor or challenging industrial environments. In rain, dust, salt spray, and extreme temperatures, reliability and corrosion resistance are major pain points for plant operators. The ACH580-01 Type 4X / IP66 enclosure is UV-resistant and CE compliant, with an optional sun shield to protect components in direct sun. By combining robust sealing with flexible mounting, maintenance intervals can be extended and lifecycle costs reduced, delivering measurable business value. In critical cooling tower or outdoor pumping applications, its 20 HP rating at 480 V aligns with standard industrial motor specs, simplifying procurement and integration with existing control architectures.

FAQs
Begin by mounting the wall-mounted drive on a sturdy vertical surface in a clean, ventilated area. Connect the 480 V supply and motor leads following the ACH580 wiring scheme, then configure the drive’s parameter set for the motor’s 20 HP rating and 27 A current. Use shielded cables where possible and verify protective enclosure seals for outdoor installations to maintain IP66 protection.
Yes. The ACH580-01 variant used in this model features an IP66, Type 4X enclosure with UV-resistant materials, designed for outdoor use. An optional sun shield further protects against direct sunlight, helping extend component life in harsh environments.
Absolutely. Its IP66 Type 4X enclosure, corrosion resistance, and UV stability make it well-suited for outdoor cooling towers exposed to rain, salt spray, and temperature fluctuations, delivering reliable motor control with reduced maintenance.
The drive variant is UL-listed for a 20 HP configuration and CE-compliant, and it features a rugged IP66 enclosure with UV-resistant construction, making it appropriate for global deployment in regulated environments.
The sealed 4X/IP66 enclosure minimizes ingress of moisture and contaminants, reducing maintenance intervals. UV resistance and an optional sun shield minimize heat-related wear, extending service life. Together with energy-efficient drive control, this lowers downtime and lifecycle costs, delivering a favorable return on investment in outdoor industrial installations.
