Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001003234 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 IP66 / Type 4X enclosure and UV-resistant housing safeguard the ACH580-01-024A-2+B066+F254 from rain, dust, salt spray, and prolonged sun exposure. This protection directly reduces corrosion, maintenance downtime, and the frequency of unwanted field service visits. Ideal for cooling towers, outdoor pumps, and other outdoor equipment, the drive keeps critical control parameters stable in harsh environments. 7.5 HP, 24 A rating supports robust motor control for general-purpose LV drives. This enables smoother starts, reduced energy waste, and lower mechanical stress on pumps, fans, and conveyors in outdoor facilities. Designed for extreme environments, the unit is fully sealed against rain, heat, cold, and dust, with corrosion resistance to biocides common in cooling systems and an optional sun shield for extended sun exposure. It reduces UV-related degradation and maintenance costs. The wall-mount form factor simplifies retrofits and installation, offering a compact footprint and straightforward wiring, which translates to faster commissioning and lower installation costs. Compatibility with the ACH580 family ensures consistent performance across multiple drive sizes, while rugged construction supports longer intervals between service. A practical concern for many buyers is integration with existing controls; the ACH580 series provides reliable commissioning and fault diagnostics, helping minimize downtime and supporting predictable plant uptime without complicating the control architecture.
