The ABB ACH580-01-018A-4, ordered under code 3AXD50000038993, is a wall-mounted low-voltage AC drive aimed at HVAC loads — the fan, pump and AHU end of a building-services panel rather than a high-inertia conveyor line. Normal-use output is 7.5 kW at 17 A; heavy-duty is 5.5 kW at 12.6 A; light-overload is 7.5 kW at 16.2 A. For North American jobs the UL nameplate carries PlD 10 Hp at 14.0 A and IhD 11.0 A, so the same SKU reconciles cleanly across IEC and UL documentation sets without a parallel model number on the PO.
Input envelope and site limits
Apparent-power output is rated 12 kVA, and standby loss is held to 15 W, which matters for the always-on fan wall in a mechanical room where phantom load compounds across a dozen cabinets. Deployment is bounded at maximum 40 °C ambient, 1000 m altitude and 95 operating relative humidity, so above 40 °C or 1000 m the standard output ratings need the ABB derating curves applied — not just a free pass because the part is in frame R2.
Cabinet footprint, sound and enclosure
It mounts on the wall in frame R2 with an IP21 / Type1 enclosure, so the cabinet needs only drip-proof clearance, not a sealed fan-cooled cubicle, and the gland plate sizing follows the R2 outline drawing rather than a custom cutout. Acoustic emission is rated 64 dB(A), which keeps the drive inside typical mechanical-room NC budgets without acoustic treatment on the cabinet door. The control unit ships in the package, so the integrator is not chasing a separate control-panel order code to bring the drive up — the standard HVAC control program is what comes out of the box.
Compliance and documentation pack
RoHS compliance is declared under EU Directive 2011/65/EU and Amendment 2015/863 July 22, 2019, with a RoHS date of 20240508; REACH is declared true (contains substances above 0.1 mass percentage) with a REACH date of 20250905. The SCIP database number for the EU Substances of Concern declaration is 4a4ed2db-43e7-4612-8e9c-3921e4acd08b (Finland submitter), which closes the decl-pack question for a broker shipping into the EU. The WEEE category is 5 (small equipment with no external dimension more than 50 cm), which puts disposal on the standard small-equipment B2B channel rather than the large-appliance take-back path.
Service item — the internal coin cell
An internal CR2032 lithium coin cell (220 mAh, 3 V, 3 g, one piece) carries the real-time clock across power cycles, so a line-down call about lost fault timestamps after a long outage usually traces to this cell rather than a firmware fault.
