The R8 frame houses a control unit and is cabinet-built. Input voltage range is 380–480 V at 47.5–63 Hz. The IP21 / NEMA Type 1 enclosure suits indoor installations. ## Duty ratings — normal, heavy, light-overload Three duty curves are specified so you can match the drive to the actual load profile. Normal use (Pn) is 160 kW / 293 A; heavy-duty use (PhD) is 132 kW / 246 A; light-overload use (PlD) is also 160 kW but at a slightly lower 278 A. UL ratings mirror the IEC values for North American projects: heavy-duty UL output is 150 Hp / 240 A; light-overload UL is 200 Hp / 260 A. If you're specifying for a UL-listed panel, those are the numbers to use on the nameplate. ## Power factor, consumption, and sound level Power factor sits at 0.98, which means near-unity — minimal reactive current draw and no need for external PF correction caps in most installations. Power consumption at rated load is 4942 W, so budget for that in your panel cooling calculation. The drive emits 65 dB(A) — noticeable in a quiet plant room but typical for a cabinet drive of this power class. Apparent power output is 203 kV·A, giving you a quick check for transformer sizing upstream. The drive carries 2 analog inputs and 2 analog outputs, plus 6 digital inputs and 3 digital outputs — enough for basic process control (speed reference, feedback, start/stop, fault relay) without an extra I/O module. Communication is via CAN, which is the native fieldbus for ABB's drive family; for Ethernet-based networks (PROFINET, EtherNet/IP) you'll need an optional adapter module — the drive lists 0 Industrial Ethernet interfaces onboard. Note the ecodesign exemption: because this is a cabinet-built drive (assembled from conforming modules), energy-efficiency data per EU 2019/1781 is not provided — the regulation excludes this form factor. That's a paperwork point, not a performance issue. ## What's in the box and what to know The drive includes the control unit. A lithium coin cell (CR2032, 220 mAh, 3 V) is fitted for real-time-clock backup — expect to replace it every few years during maintenance. WEEE category is 4 (Large Equipment), so plan for end-of-life recycling compliance.","metaTitle":"ABB 3AXD50000049040 ACQ580-07 Drive, 160 kW, 293 A, R8","metaDescription":"ABB ACQ580-07 LV AC cabinet-built drive, 160 kW / 293 A normal duty, 400 V, IP21.
