ABB ACS580-01-046A-4 3AXD50000038963 ACS580 LV AC General Purpose Drive

Product Overview

The ACS580-01-046A-4 is a wall-mounted low voltage AC general purpose drive within the ACS580 family. Engineered for effortless process control, this unit is rated for 22 kW (Pn) and 45 A (In) at 400 V. It is designed to manage both variable and constant torque applications, including compressors, conveyors, pumps, extruders, centrifuges, and mixers.

Standardized with built-in essential features, the ACS580-01 reduces the need for external hardware, streamlining system design and installation. The drive is housed in an IP21 (NEMA Type 1) enclosure and utilizes the R3 frame size. It is extensively utilized across light industrial sectors such as food and beverage, plastic, textile, and agriculture. The architecture supports multiple communication protocols and includes a dedicated control unit with assistants for simplified commissioning and maintenance.

Hardware Configuration

Ordering Information

Industrial procurement requirements should reference the following unique identifiers to ensure exact hardware matching.

Engineering & Installation Guide

Grounding and EMC Compliance:

Proper grounding is critical for the R3 frame size. Ensure a 360-degree grounding of the motor cable shield at the drive lead-through. The drive includes an internal EMC filter; however, for IT (ungrounded) systems, the internal EMC filter must be disconnected to prevent damage to the varistors and internal circuitry.

Cabinet Ventilation and Cooling:

The unit dissipates approximately 672 W at full load. In wall-mounted installations, maintain minimum clearances (refer to R3 frame dimensional drawings) to ensure unobstructed vertical airflow. In high-ambient environments exceeding 40 °C, current derating must be applied according to the manufacturer’s thermal curve.

Wiring Separation:

To minimize electromagnetic interference, control and signal cables must be routed in separate conduits from power and motor cables. If control cables must cross power cables, ensure they cross at a 90-degree angle.

Replacement Precautions:

Before replacement or maintenance, wait at least 5 minutes after disconnecting the input power to allow the DC bus capacitors to discharge. Always verify the voltage across the DC terminals with a multimeter before commencing work.

Hardware FAQ

Q: What is the maximum altitude for the ACS580-01-046A-4?

A: The standard rating is up to 1000 m. Operation at higher altitudes is possible up to 4000 m with appropriate current derating (typically 1% for every 100 m above 1000 m).

Q: Does the drive support functional safety?

A: Yes, the drive includes Safe Torque Off (STO) as standard, complying with SIL 3 / PL e requirements.

Q: Can this drive be used with a 1-phase power supply?

A: No, this model is designed for 3-phase input only (380-480V).

Q: How is the battery replaced in the control panel?

A: The control panel uses a CR2032 lithium coin cell. Replacement is performed by removing the panel from the drive and opening the battery compartment on the rear. This battery maintains the real-time clock settings.
