What the part is
The ABB ACS580-01-07A6-4 is an ACS580-series general-purpose variable frequency drive built around a 3-phase, 480 VAC architecture, with a 5 hp normal-duty frame rating that drops to 3 hp on the heavy-duty curve. It runs on a 380-480 VAC three-phase supply and delivers a three-phase output in a NEMA 1 wall-mount enclosure, sized for the smallest R1 frame at 14.69 in H by 4.92 in W by 8.78 in D — the panel-builder reads that footprint against available wall space before specifying.
What the ratings actually decide
The two numbers that move together on this rating plate are the normal-duty 7.6 A / 5 hp pair and the heavy-duty 4.8 A / 3 hp pair: the same drive frame, with the heavy-duty curve applying to constant-torque loads and the normal-duty 7.6 A ceiling covering variable-torque loads.
Where the class fits
The ACS580 general-purpose family sits in the Motors & Motor Controls / Drives / Motor Drives line and is aimed at standard industrial induction motor applications like pumps, fans, conveyors, and mixers. For the panel builder, the R1 footprint and NEMA 1 rating mean the unit mounts on a flat vertical surface inside an equipment room or enclosure, not in a washdown or outdoor location.
Sourcing and lifecycle
For a BOM freeze, the order code ACS580-01-07A6-4 is the line item to write in: 5 hp normal-duty / 3 hp heavy-duty on a 480 VAC three-phase supply, frame R1, NEMA 1 wall mount. Submit the RFQ against that exact configuration rather than a parametric stand-in.
