ABB ACH580-04-585A-4 HVAC Drive Module 315 kW 585 A

A 315 kW HVAC drive module for cabinet builders

ACH580-04-585A-4 is the 315 kW, 585 A step of ABB’s ACH580-04 drive-module range. Unlike the wall-mounted ACH580-01, which stops at 250 kW, the -04 modules cover 250 to 500 kW and are meant for system integrators, cabinet builders and OEMs who want to design their own enclosure around the drive. This type sits on frame R10 and carries the same HVAC control program as the smaller sizes, so BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU and N2 are available without an adapter.

ABB names fans, pumps, compressors, air handling units and chillers as the target applications for its HVAC drives, and notes that the ACH580-04 comes with a choke for harmonic mitigation. If a project needs a ready-built panel instead, the catalogue lists the same 585 A rating as a cabinet-built ACH580-07 drive. Smaller wall-mounted sizes are in the AC drives category and the sister platform is on the ABB ACS580 overview.

Technical specifications

Ratings and what they mean in practice

On a 380 to 415 V network the catalogue gives 585 A for 315 kW in nominal use and 575 A for 315 kW in light-duty use, where ABB allows 110% for one minute in ten (about 633 A, a derived figure). On a 440 to 480 V network the light-duty entry is 573 A for 450 hp. ABB states that frames R10 and R11 comply with EMC category C3 with the pre-configured internal filter, so check the first-environment rules if the drive is installed in a residential or commercial building without further filtering.

The ratings table covers the neighbouring modules too: 505 A / 250 kW below and 650 A / 355 kW above, followed by R11 modules at 725, 820 and 880 A. Frame R10 is therefore the entry to the large-module range, and the 585 A type is its middle step.

Mounting and enclosure notes

The module measures 1462 mm in height, 350 mm in width and 529 mm in depth and weighs 162 kg, so lifting gear and a rigid cabinet base are needed. The module is supplied as IP00 / UL Type Open and, with the +B051 option, receives IP20 finger shrouds; the catalogue lists IP00 or IP20 as the degree of protection of the whole ACH580-04 line. The operating temperature range for -04 modules is -15 to +55 degrees C, five degrees higher than the wall-mounted drives.

Cabinet design drives the rest of the project: heat removal, input protection, an output filter where the motor cable is long, and a control panel mounting solution. The catalogue offers the DPMP-05 outdoor mounting kit for ACH580-04 and ACH580-34 panels, and a control panel is part of the delivery.

Ordering code and communication

Read ACH580-04-585A-4 as series ACH580, construction 04 (module), rating 585A and voltage code 4 for 380 to 480 V. Options are added with plus codes: +B051 for finger shrouds, +L501 for CMOD-01, +L523 for CMOD-02 and +L512 for CHDI-01 extension modules, and +K codes for fieldbus adapters such as +K465 for BACnet/IP with FBIP-21, +K491 for Modbus TCP with FMBT-21 or +K492 for PROFINET IO with FPNO-21.

Documents and quotation

All values come from ABB’s ACH580 HVAC catalogue (3AUA0000186691, revision F, dated 9.14.2019), linked on this page. Seven Star LLC supplies the ACH580-04-585A-4 on request from Muscat; send the motor nameplate, supply voltage, cabinet concept and network protocol with your RFQ, and the quotation states availability and lead time.

Confirm before ordering: that this catalogue revision still matches ABB’s current data for the type, the plus options, the cooling and fuse concept for your cabinet, the EMC category needed on site and the motor current at your voltage.
