ABB ACS580-01-062A-4 AC Drive 30 kW 62 A

30 kW wall-mounted drive on frame R4

Frame R4 starts at 30 kW and is taller at 636 mm. The type fits large process pumps, ventilation plant and compressors in the 30 kW class. The matching ABB part is the ACS580-01-062A-4, a 3-phase drive for 380 to 480 V with 62 A nominal output current and 30 kW typical motor power, packed into a frame R4 body that stands 203 mm wide.

ABB aims the ACS580-01 at light industry such as food and beverage, plastics, textiles, material handling and agriculture. A DC/AC choke, EMC filter, Modbus RTU port and STO function come as standard, so a panel builder needs little extra hardware. Browse more in AC drives or read the ABB ACS580 series page.

Technical specifications

Protection and cooling for ACS580-01-062A-4

Overload data decide whether ACS580-01-062A-4 is the right size. In light-duty use the catalogue allows 58 A continuously and 110% of that, about 63.8 A, for one minute in ten at 40 degrees C. In heavy-duty use the continuous figure drops to 44.6 A, which allows 150%, about 66.9 A, for the same minute. Select by motor nominal current, not only by kilowatts.

Installation data from the catalogue: 777 W typical losses, 150 m3/h (88 ft3/min) cooling air, 70 dBA maximum noise at full fan speed, 300 m recommended motor cable, and 80 A gG or 80 A UL Class T input fuses. The adjacent ratings are ACS580-01-046A-4 (22 kW, 45 A) and ACS580-01-073A-4 (37 kW, 73 A).

Type designation and variants

Decode the code as follows: ACS580 is the product series, 01 the wall-mounted construction, 062A the rating designation from the catalogue table, and 4 the 380 to 480 V voltage range. Option codes follow with a plus sign: +B056 (IP55 / UL Type 12, R1 to R9), +B063 (IP66 / UL Type 4X), +F278 (integrated main switch, R1 to R5), +E223 (integrated C1 filter, R1 to R5), +C135 (flange mounting) and +P944 (conduit box removal, R5 to R9).

Fieldbus choices include FPBA-01 (+K454, PROFIBUS DP), FSCA-01 (+K458, Modbus RTU), FEIP-21 (+K490, EtherNet/IP) and FMBT-21 (+K491, Modbus/TCP). For harsh sites, the IP55 form of frame R4 measures 636 (879 with options) x 203 x 265 mm. The catalogue dimension table lists IP66 only for frames R1 to R3.

Key features of the ACS580-01-062A-4

• All-compatible ABB drive architecture shared across the ACS580 range, so operators trained on one size can handle the others.
• Standard DC/AC choke that reduces input harmonics without an external reactor.
• Built-in EMC filter, Modbus RTU and Safe Torque Off, covering the most common panel requirements out of the box.
• Assistant control panel with setup assistants that guide the user through motor data, start and stop control and reference settings.
• Energy optimiser and energy calculators that show savings against direct-on-line operation.
• Options for higher enclosure class, integrated main switch and a wide choice of fieldbus adapters.

Matching the drive to the load

For a centrifugal pump or fan with a 30 kW motor whose nameplate current is at or below 58 A at 400 V, the light-duty rating of this drive is normally adequate. Loads that start against full torque, such as loaded conveyors, crushers or screw compressors, should be checked against the heavy-duty current of 44.6 A; if the motor current exceeds it, step up to the ACS580-01-073A-4. Long motor cables, high ambient temperature and altitude can also push the selection one size larger.

Commissioning in brief

• Check the supply type; on IT or corner-grounded networks the EMC filter and varistor screws must be handled as the hardware manual describes.
• Enter motor nameplate values and run the identification routine for best control performance.
• Configure the start/stop and reference sources through the primary settings menu.
• Set acceleration and deceleration ramps to suit the process, and enable the PID controller where pressure or flow control is needed.
• Back up the parameters to the control panel or a PC once commissioning is complete.

Maintenance

ABB publishes maintenance intervals for the cooling fan and DC capacitors in the hardware manual, and the drive itself can show maintenance reminders. Clean the heatsink air path regularly, since dust reduces cooling and causes overtemperature trips well before rated current is reached. Keep a parameter backup and record the firmware version, which makes a replacement unit quicker to put into service.

Operating in Oman and GCC conditions

The catalogue ratings apply at 40 °C; plant rooms and enclosures in Oman frequently run hotter in summer, so check the derating figures and size the enclosure cooling for the 777 W loss. Dust from desert environments is the main threat to wall-mounted IP21 units; in dusty or semi-outdoor locations the IP55 option (+B056) is often the more durable choice. For water and wastewater pumping, the built-in pump functions and PID control reduce the need for external controllers.

What to include in your RFQ

• Type code ACS580-01-062A-4 with any option codes, for example +B056 or +F278.
• Motor power, nameplate current and load type.
• Fieldbus adapter, if one is required.
• Quantity and delivery location.

Source document and quotation

The source document is the ABB ACS580 general purpose drives catalogue (3AUA0000145061), linked from this page. It covers the ratings, dimensions, fuses and options quoted above. Seven Star LLC supplies the ACS580-01-062A-4 on request from Muscat; send the motor nameplate data, supply voltage, enclosure class and fieldbus need with your RFQ, and the quotation will state availability and lead time.

Confirm before ordering: the exact type code, the enclosure option, the motor current at your supply voltage and the ambient conditions at site. Ratings are catalogue values at 40 degrees C and up to 1000 m, so derate where the installation is hotter or higher.
