Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001002718 ABB: Designed for harsh locations, the ACH580-01 Type 4X / IP66 drive can withstand unfriendly environments with ease. The drive is resistant to various weather conditions from the snows of winter to the heat of summer. Indoors, it is resistant to water spray, dirt and chemicals and is NSF 169 certified for food splash zones. This drive is ideal for food and beverage, agriculture, livestock applications and for coastal areas. Versatile and straightforward settings menu and assistants enable fast setup, commissioning, use and maintenance, while rugged and robust design makes it a good fit for various environments. With the ACS580 drives you can easily take full control of your processes to comprehensively manage your plant.
Rugged enclosure and environmental protection are foundational features, delivering Type 4X and IP66 ratings that withstand wind, snow, spray, and chemical exposure. This protection translates into fewer unplanned shutdowns and longer equipment life in seafood processing, coastal plants, and livestock facilities. By eliminating additional external enclosures, it reduces installation time and total cost of ownership. Fast setup and maintenance follow as a core benefit; the versatile settings menu and assistants enable quick parameterization, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance, cutting training time and speeding time-to-value. In practice, technicians can upigrate configurations with confidence, reducing commissioning risk and downtime. The drive’s NSF 169 certification supports hygiene-driven applications in food and beverage facilities, while UL listings reinforce electrical safety for HVAC environments, enabling compliant retrofits. Compatibility with ABB’s broader drive ecosystem, including ACS580 platforms, provides a path for scalable process control and centralized energy management. This translates to measurable ROI through improved uptime, energy efficiency, and longer service life in coastal, agricultural, and industrial sites. Maintenance intervals shorten as the rugged design resists water spray, dust, and chemicals, and the built-in safeguards help prevent CSPs (Customer Specific Problems) during operation. Overall, the solution aligns with industry best practices for modern HVAC automation, delivering reliability without sacrificing ease of use or installation speed.

FAQs
Installation involves mounting the LV AC drive on a suitable wall space within a clean, ventilated enclosure. Leverage its Type 4X / IP66 protection to minimize the need for external housings in washdown zones. Connect power and motor leads per the ABB wiring diagrams, enable the basic commissioning wizard, and configure motor parameters, protection, and communications to match your HVAC system requirements.
The unit is specified for 3 HP, 4.8 A, and 500 V operation. It is designed for LV AC applications in HVAC environments, with protection ratings of IP66 and Type 4X. The drive supports harsh environments, offers straightforward setup, and integrates with ABB’s control ecosystems, providing reliable performance in demanding facilities.
Yes. NSF 169 certification confirms suitability for food splash zones, and the Type 4X / IP66 enclosure provides robust protection against water spray, dust, and chemicals. This makes it well suited for food and beverage facilities, agriculture, livestock environments, and coastal installations where washdowns and corrosion are concerns.
Key certifications include NSF 169 for hygiene in food zones, UL listings for HVAC equipment, and the IP66 / Type 4X enclosure rating for harsh environments. These certifications help meet industry hygiene, safety, and environmental requirements, simplifying regulatory approvals for retrofits and new builds alike.
Expected ROI comes from reduced downtime due to rugged protection, faster commissioning via intuitive menus, and lower maintenance costs from fewer enclosure needs. The combination of energy-efficient speed control and reliable operation supports longer service intervals, while enabling faster project completion and a quicker path to energy savings in HVAC systems.
