ABB ACS580-01-073A-4 3AUA0000080499 LV AC General Purpose Drive

Product Overview

The ACS580-01-073A-4 is a wall-mounted low voltage AC general purpose drive belonging to the ABB ACS580 series. This all-compatible drive is engineered to simplify process management for a wide range of variable and constant torque applications. It is primarily used to control pumps, fans, conveyors, compressors, and mixers across various industries, including food and beverage, agriculture, and material handling.

This unit operates on a 380 to 480 V three-phase supply, delivering a nominal output current of 73 A and a power rating of 37 kW under normal use. The ACS580-01 architecture incorporates essential features as standard, including an integrated EMC filter, a Modbus RTU interface, and functional safety features like Safe Torque Off (STO). The R4 frame size drive comes with an IP21 enclosure rating, suitable for indoor wall-mounted installations where efficiency and ease of commissioning are prioritized.

Ordering Information

Industrial procurement and replacement should reference the following unique identifiers to ensure system compatibility.

Engineering & Installation Guide

Mounting and Cooling:

The ACS580-01-073A-4 R4 frame requires vertical wall mounting on a non-flammable surface. Ensure a minimum clearance of 200 mm above and below the unit for adequate airflow. The internal cooling fan generates approximately 70 dB(A) of sound; cabinet ventilation must be sized to handle the 858 W power consumption loss at full load.

Grounding and EMC:

To comply with EMC Category C2, use symmetrical shielded motor cables. Ensure 360-degree grounding at the cable entries using the provided metallic clamps. The drive includes an internal EMC filter as standard; however, for IT (ungrounded) systems, the internal EMC filter and varistors must be disconnected before power-up.

I/O and Control Wiring:

Separate control cables from power and motor cables. Use twisted-pair shielded cables for analog signals and RS-485 communication. The drive supports Safe Torque Off (STO) SIL3/PLe; if STO is not used, jumpers must be maintained between the STO terminals (OUT1 to IN1/IN2) for operation.

Hardware FAQ

Q: What is the maximum altitude for the ACS580-01-073A-4 without derating?

A: The drive is rated for up to 4000 m. However, current derating of 1% for every 100 m is required for altitudes above 1000 m. Above 2000 m, the voltage rating of the relay outputs may decrease.

Q: Can this drive be used for heavy-duty applications?

A: Yes. While the normal use rating is 37 kW (73 A), the heavy-duty (IHD) rating is 30 kW (61 A). Ensure the motor FLA (Full Load Amps) does not exceed 61 A for constant torque, high-overload applications.

Q: What should be checked if the drive shows a "Safe Torque Off" fault?

A: Inspect the STO circuit wiring. Both STO channels must be closed for the drive to start. If using an external safety relay, verify the relay contact health and the 24V DC supply integrity from the control unit.
