Max output current is 67.9 A. That figure is what sizes the output cabling and the line-side breaker against the motor's locked-rotor inrush. Footprint is 22.9 cm x 20.3 cm x 49 cm — that is a single-cabinet column, bookcase-mount in the usual ACS580-01 frame, and it leaves room above and below for the line reactor and the brake chopper wiring if the application is a vertical load or a fast-stop profile. ## Same-frame sibling worth weighing against the BOM Step one notch down the ACS580-01 family and you land on the ACS580-01-039A-4 — identical 22.9 cm x 20.3 cm x 49 cm frame, identical 11.8 Kg mass, but the current ceiling drops from 67.9 A to 56.9 A and the kW step falls to 15 heavy-duty / 18.5 light-duty / 18.5 nominal. That is a meaningful split for the panel builder or the MRO planner: the cabinet cut-out, gland plate pattern, and backplane footprint carry over unchanged between the two, but the contactor, output cable, and the brake-resistor thermal rating on the smaller unit are sized for the lower current — so if the panel was specified around the 039A and you are upgrading to the 046A for motor headroom, the wiring and the line-side protection have to be re-rated, not just the drive. ## Sourcing reality for this order code Shipping weight on the order is 13 Kg against the unit's 11.8 Kg, which is the packaging delta a receiving dock plans for, not a spec that drives selection — flag it once so the inbound scale check does not get flagged as a discrepancy.","metaTitle":"ABB ACS580-01-046A-4 drive, 22 kW / 67.9 A","metaDescription":"ABB ACS580-01-046A-4 lower-voltage AC drive, 22 nominal kW, 67.9 A max output, 18.5 kW heavy-duty.
