Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001004750 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.
Feature: IP66 enclosure and 4X rating with a fully sealed body. This level of protection minimizes ingress of rain, dust, and contaminants, delivering higher reliability and lower maintenance costs across outdoor installations. Application: cooling towers, outdoor pumps, and conveyors in exposed industrial sites benefit from extended service life and predictable performance. Feature: corrosion-resistant housing designed to withstand biocides and salt spray. Business impact: extends component life and reduces corrosion-related downtime in aggressive water-treatment environments. Application: cooling towers and chemical processing facilities where outdoor exposure is routine. Feature: UV-resistant shell with optional sun shield. Impact: protects electronics from thermal degradation, preserving drive performance in sustained sunlight. Application: rooftop units and other sun-exposed outdoor equipment benefit from reliable operation and longer intervals between service. Feature: UL-listed at 15 Hp and 23 A, with 4X Type 4X compatibility within the ABB ACH580 family. Impact: simplifies procurement, ensures regulatory compliance, and enables scalable motor control across multiple lines. Application: general-purpose drives for fans, pumps, and conveyors in industrial facilities. Feature: wall-mounted design with straightforward installation and standardized wiring. Impact: reduces commissioning time, minimizes field wiring errors, and lowers labor costs during retrofit projects. Application: plant rooms, outdoor enclosures, and ABB ecosystem installations. Feature: sealed construction supports maintenance-friendly service and easy accessory integration (sun shield, mounts, and protection covers). Impact: strengthens total cost of ownership by lowering maintenance frequency and extending mean time between failures. Application: cooling towers and outdoor processing lines requiring robust, compliant performance with minimal operational disruption.

FAQs
For outdoor installations, plan a wall-mounted mounting location with adequate clearance for heat dissipation and access to the sealed enclosure. The IP66/4X rating protects against rain, dust, and salt spray, while the optional sun shield helps manage solar heating. Use shielded cables and proper strain relief to maximize longevity and ensure safe wiring in exposed conditions.
This drive is rated for UL: Pld 15 Hp and 23 A, and supports an ABB ACH580 family ecosystem with 4X Type 4X protection. It is designed for LV AC general purpose control, offering reliable speed and torque regulation for fans, pumps, and conveyors in demanding environments while meeting CE and UL standards for industrial equipment.
Yes. The IP66/4X enclosure and corrosion-resistant housing are specifically chosen to withstand rain, dust, salt spray, and biocidal chemistry common in cooling towers. This combination reduces corrosion-related downtime, extends component life, and supports long-term outdoor operation with minimal maintenance.
The drive carries UL and CE compliance and is built with an IP66/4X enclosure for rugged outdoor use. It also features UV resistance and is compatible with ABB ACH580 components, providing a proven regulatory and performance framework for industrial installations exposed to harsh environments.
Expect a lower total cost of ownership due to fewer field failures, reduced maintenance visits, and longer mean time between failures. The sealed design minimizes ingress-related issues, while the optional sun shield and robust protection lower protective hardware replacement needs, delivering improved uptime for cooling towers, outdoor pumps, and other outdoor equipment.
