ABB ACH580-01-293A-4 HVAC AC Drive 160 kW 293 A
Description
Where the ACH580-01-293A-4 fits in a building
The 160 kW rating belongs to frame R8, used for large chiller-plant pumps and tunnel or car-park fans. The catalogue type that matches is the ACH580-01-293A-4: three-phase, 160 kW typical motor power, 293 A nominal current, frame R8. It is the HVAC-optimised sibling of ABB’s general purpose drive and keeps the same all-compatible platform, so panels, PC tools and fieldbus adapters carry over.
Software separates it from a general purpose drive: the HVAC program supplies Drivetune smartphone commissioning with the Bluetooth panel, override (fire) mode, four start interlocks and belt-loss (under-load) detection.

Choosing between 400 V and 480 V data
The catalogue gives three ratings for this type. Nominal use is 293 A for 160 kW. Light-duty use on 380 to 415 V is 278 A for 160 kW, which allows 110% overload for one minute in ten (about 305.8 A, derived). On a 440 to 480 V supply the light-duty current is 260 A, matching 200 hp. ABB states that all ACH580 ratings apply at +40 degrees C ambient.
Frame R8 in IP21 form stands 965 mm tall including the gland box (680 mm without it), 300 mm wide and 393 mm deep, and weighs 69 kg. The IP55 build measures 965 x 300 x 452 mm at 77 kg. The catalogue lists no switch or C1 variant for frames above R5.
Motor pairing from the catalogue: the ACH580-01-293A-4 is listed with 132 kW M3BL315SMB4 at 1500 rpm (290 A nominal, motor efficiency 96.4%, package efficiency 94.0%) in the IE4 synchronous reluctance (SynRM) selection guide. The efficiency figures are ABB’s calculated drive-plus-motor values and do not promise the same result with a different motor.
Type code and option codes
An order line starts with ACH580-01-293A-4: 01 marks the wall-mounted drive, 293A is the rating field and 4 the voltage class. Typical plus codes are +L523 for CMOD-02 with an isolated PTC interface, +L512 for CHDI-01 with 115/230 V inputs, +B056 for IP55 and +F278 for a main disconnect switch with auxiliary contact.
Beyond the built-in protocols, the catalogue pairs plus codes with adapters, for instance POWERLINK via FEPL-02 (+K470), BACnet/IP via FBIP-21 (+K465) and Modbus TCP via FMBT-21 (+K491).
Catalogue data for the family includes a DC choke built to IEC 61000-3-12, Safe Torque Off certified to SIL 3 / PL e, an EMC category C2 design for frames R1 to R9, six digital inputs and two analog inputs and two analog outputs and three relay outputs.
Documents and quotation
Request the ACH580-01-293A-4 from Seven Star LLC with your motor nameplate, supply voltage and communication needs; the quotation gives availability and lead time. Ratings, dimensions, motor pairing and option codes on this page were taken from ABB catalogue 3AUA0000186691, revision F (9.14.2019), available via the document link.
Confirm before ordering: type code and plus options, motor rated current, enclosure class, ambient temperature and altitude, and any change in newer ABB documents.

About brand
ABB, formed in 1988 and headquartered in Zurich, covers an unusually long stretch of a plant's equipment list, from the flowmeter and analyzer in the field to the drive, breaker and protection relay in the electrical room.
Seven Star LLC is an independent supplier serving Oman and the GCC. Our ABB listing concentrates on measurement and analytics: ABB flowmeters, liquid analysis sensors and systems, level and pressure instruments. It also includes valve actuators, low voltage circuit breakers, ABB drives, soft starters and protection relays.
ABB product families on this page
Flow measurement includes ABB electromagnetic, Coriolis, vortex and swirl meters, sold under names such as ProcessMaster, AquaMaster, CoriolisMaster and SwirlMaster. Liquid analysis covers pH, conductivity and dissolved oxygen sensors with their transmitters. SensyTemp TSP sensors handle temperature. On the electrical side the listing has ACS355 machinery drives, the ACS550 general purpose drive, the ACQ580 for water and wastewater and the ACS880-01 industrial drive, with fieldbus adapters such as the FPBA-01 for PROFIBUS DP. Protection and switching products include SACE Tmax XT molded case breakers, SACE Emax 2 air circuit breakers, PSR soft starters and the REM615 and RET615 relays.
Where ABB instruments and drives are used
Water and wastewater plants use the electromagnetic flowmeters, analyzers and ACQ580 drives together. Oil and gas, power and chemical plants specify the Coriolis and vortex meters, pressure and level transmitters and the 615 series relays for motor and transformer feeders. The drives run pumps, fans, conveyors and compressors in almost every industry.
Ordering ABB parts: what we need
For drives send the full type code from the rating label, for example ACS355-03E-05A6-4, plus the serial number if it is a replacement. For instruments send the complete order code, measuring span, process connection, wetted materials, output or protocol and the hazardous area approval. For breakers give frame size, rated current, breaking capacity, number of poles, trip unit and fixed or withdrawable version.
