The ABB 3AXD50001109394 is an ACS580-01 series LV AC industrial wall-mounted single drive, rated 18.5 kW normal-use output (38 A) at 400 V, with a heavy-duty rating of 15 kW (31.6 A). It carries an IP66 / NEMA Type4X enclosure, so it handles washdown environments and outdoor installation without an extra cabinet — a common fit for pump, fan, and conveyor applications in food-and-bev, water/wastewater, and HVAC where spray and dust are present. Input accepts 380–415 V three-phase at 47.5–63 Hz, covering 50/60 Hz grids globally. The drive includes a control unit, 2 analog inputs, 2 analog outputs, 6 digital inputs, and 3 digital outputs, with CAN as the onboard communication protocol — no industrial Ethernet on this variant, so plan for a separate gateway if you need PROFINET or EtherNet/IP.
Load ratings and duty selection
Three duty ratings let you match the drive to the load profile. Normal use (Pn 18.5 kW, In 38 A) suits constant-torque loads like conveyors and positive-displacement pumps. Light-overload use matches the same 18.5 kW but at 36.1 A, and the UL light-overload rating is 25 Hp at 34 A. Heavy-duty use (PhD 15 kW, IhD 31.6 A) is the one to size for variable-torque loads like centrifugal pumps and fans where peak demand is intermittent. The IE2 efficiency level and 0.98 power factor mean the drive draws near-unity power from the line, keeping distribution losses low and avoiding the need for upstream power-factor correction capacitors.
Wall-mounted with an IP66 / NEMA Type4X enclosure — hose-down rated, corrosion-resistant, and suitable for outdoor installation without a rain hood. Maximum ambient temperature is 40 °C; above that, derate per the drive's thermal curve. Standby loss is 16 W, negligible for thermal budgeting inside a panel. The drive includes a CR2032 lithium coin cell (3 V, 220 mAh) for real-time-clock backup — expect a service life of several years, but factor replacement into long-term maintenance intervals.
