Normal use (Pn 18.5 kW, In 38 A) covers constant-torque loads like conveyors and pumps. Light-overload (PlD 18.5 kW, IlD 36.1 A) handles variable-torque fans and centrifugal pumps where peak current is brief. Heavy-duty (PhD 15.0 kW, IhD 31.6 A) is for high-starting-torque loads such as crushers or extruders. The 26 kV·A apparent power output confirms the drive can deliver full rated current into the motor. Built-in I/O covers most standalone applications: 6 digital inputs, 3 digital outputs, 2 analog inputs, and 2 analog outputs. Communication is CAN-based — no onboard Industrial Ethernet, so if you need PROFINET or EtherNet/IP, plan for an optional fieldbus adapter. The drive includes a control unit, so you don't need to order a separate controller module.","metaTitle":"ABB 3AXD50000038962 ACS580-01 Drive, 18.5 kW, 38 A, R3","metaDescription":"ABB ACS580-01 general purpose wall-mounted drive, 18.5 kW normal use, 38 A output, 380-480 V 3-phase.
