ABB 3AXD50001003227 Motors & Drives - IP66 Type 4X
Part Number: 3AXD50001003227
Quick Summary
3AXD50001003227 is an LV AC general purpose wall-mounted drive for rugged motor control in harsh environments. Engineers often struggle with outdoor durability, salt spray, and heat that shorten drive life. It features a Type 4X / IP66 enclosure with UV resistance and an optional sun shield for prolonged sun exposure. This combination reduces maintenance costs and unplanned downtime, enabling reliable control in industrial facilities. In rugged HVAC, water treatment, and process plants, it delivers robust protection and efficient performance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001003227 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 enclosure for harsh environments → Reduces exposure to rain, dust, and temperature extremes, delivering longer service life and lower maintenance in cooling towers and outdoor equipment. Corrosion resistance to biocides used in cooling towers → Extends component life, minimizes corrosion-related failures, and lowers replacement costs in aggressive chemical environments. IP66 / Type 4X protection with UV resistance → Enables outdoor installations with confidence, reduces weather-related downtime, and supports outdoor sun exposure with the optional sun shield. Compact wall-mounted design → Simplifies retrofits and minimizes space in existing control cabinets, speeding installation and reducing enclosure footprint. UL-listed configuration for 5 Hp, 17 A along with LV AC compatibility → Matches common motor loads and simplifies procurement, installation, and spare-part planning. Built for reliability → Long service intervals improve total cost of ownership and uptime across industrial facilities.

FAQs
Install the wall-mounted drive in a protected outdoor location or in an enclosure that preserves the IP66/Type 4X rating. Use the optional sun shield if exposed to direct sunlight. Follow ABB installation guidelines for wiring, grounding, and cable routing to maintain protection against dust and moisture. Ensure proper gasket maintenance and verify seals after mounting.
The drive is designed for rain, heat, cold, salt spray, and dust, with a fully sealed enclosure. Its UV-resistant construction and 4X/IP66 protection ensure reliable operation in outdoor and harsh industrial settings such as cooling towers and coastal facilities. It supports continuous duty in variable climates and helps minimize failure modes due to environmental exposure.
Yes. The enclosure provides corrosion resistance to biocides commonly used in cooling towers, helping extend component life and reduce maintenance intervals in aggressive chemical environments. Engineers can plan preventive maintenance around the drive rather than replacing components prematurely.
It features IP66 protection with a Type 4X enclosure and UV resistance for outdoor use. The data also references UL-rated configurations for common motor loads such as 5 Hp with 17 A, aiding procurement and compliance. This combination supports safety, environmental, and performance requirements across manufacturing, refining, and utility installations.
Rugged outdoor protection reduces downtime and maintenance costs, while a compact wall-mounted form simplifies retrofits. The drive supports reliable motor control in harsh environments, delivering improved uptime, lower total cost of ownership, and easier integration with LV AC systems. This translates to faster project delivery, fewer spare parts, and predictable performance in critical plant sections.
