ABB 3AXD50001001810 LV AC Drive - IP66 Type 4X
Part Number: 3AXD50001001810
Quick Summary
LV AC drive 3AXD50001001810 delivers reliable motor control for harsh outdoor applications such as cooling towers. Outdoor equipment often suffers downtime from rain, dust, heat, and salt spray that degrade components and disrupt production. The unit’s IP66 enclosure with Type 4X corrosion resistance, UV durability, and UL listing provides proven protection and safety. For integrators, the wall-mounted design simplifies installation, while robust performance supports industrial automation initiatives and energy-efficiency goals across HVAC, pumping, and process-skid systems. This combination minimizes maintenance costs, extends service life, and reduces downtime in demanding environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001001810 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, rugged enclosure keeps dust, moisture, and salt spray out, dramatically reducing maintenance cycles and downtime. This protection translates to longer intervals between service visits and lower total cost of ownership when deployed in outdoor substations, cooling towers, and process skids. Corrosion resistance to biocides used in cooling towers guards critical drive components from pitting and degradation, yielding extended motor life and consistent drive performance in chemical environments typical of water treatment and HVAC loops. UV-resistant housing with an optional sun shield minimizes degradation from prolonged sun exposure, supporting year-round operation in desert or coastal climates and reducing replacement and cleaning costs. Wall-mount installation and a compact footprint simplify integration with existing control panels and conduit runs, while the 575 V, 2 HP, 2.7 A ratings align with standard industrial networks and safety standards. These design choices strengthen preventative maintenance strategies and deliver predictable performance, energy efficiency, and reduced risk of environment-triggered faults for pumps, fans, and other outdoor equipment.

FAQs
Outdoor installation should use a wall-mount arrangement with proper clearance for heat dissipation and cable ingress. Verify IP66/Type 4X enclosure integrity, ensure the optional sun shield is available for sun exposure, and follow standard ABB installation practices for 575 V, 2 HP configurations. Plan for conduit routing, grounding, and safe access for maintenance.
Key specs include IP66 / Type 4X enclosure, UV-resistant housing, and corrosion resistance to cooling-tower biocides. It operates reliably in rain, heat, cold, salt spray, and dust, while delivering 2 HP output at 575 V and a current of 2.7 A, making it well-suited for outdoor pumps and fans in challenging environments.
Yes. The combination of a fully sealed IP66/Type 4X enclosure, UV resistance, and biocide-corrosion protection makes it a strong fit for cooling towers and coastal/saline environments. UL listing further supports safety compliance in industrial cooling and outdoor process applications.
The rugged enclosure reduces ingress-related maintenance and downtime, while reliable motor control supports efficient operation of pumps and fans. By resisting environmental degradation and enabling steady performance, the drive helps lower total cost of ownership and sustain energy-saving operation in harsh outdoor settings.
Plan for standard industrial control interfaces compatible with 575 V, 2 HP drives and ABB control schemes. The wall-mounted ACH580-derived design supports straightforward integration with existing automation networks, safety interlocks, and panel layouts, reducing wiring complexity and enabling reliable commissioning in outdoor environments.
