ABB ACS580-01-05A7-4 AC Drive 2.2 kW 5.6 A

2.2 kW wall-mounted drive on frame R1

Rated 2.2 kW at 400 V with 5.6 A of nominal current, the ACS580-01-05A7-4 comes from ABB’s ACS580-01 wall-mounted range. Its frame R1 housing is 125 mm wide by 223 mm deep. At 2.2 kW this is a mid-range R1 rating and typically sits behind small circulation pumps, ventilation fans and light conveyors where the motor nameplate reads about 5 A at 400 V.

Setup is guided by the assistant control panel that ships with the drive, with a settings menu and start-up assistants. The family has a built-in choke, EMC filter, Modbus RTU and Safe Torque Off. Compare neighbouring ratings in the AC drives category or start from the ABB ACS580 overview.

Technical specifications

Protection and cooling for ACS580-01-05A7-4

Two numbers matter when sizing: 5.3 A for light-duty loads that rarely exceed nominal torque, and 4 A for loads with frequent overloads. The corresponding motor sizes are 2.2 kW and 1.5 kW at 400 V. Short peaks up to 7.2 A are permitted for 2 seconds at start. Use ABB DriveSize if the duty cycle is not a simple constant load.

For protection the catalogue recommends 10 A gG fuses (15 A UL Class T). Plan for roughly 82 W of heat loss and 43 m3/h of cooling air at a maximum noise level of 55 dBA. The recommended motor cable length is 100 m. Neighbouring catalogue types are ACS580-01-04A1-4 (1.5 kW, 4.0 A) below and ACS580-01-07A3-4 (3 kW, 7.2 A) above.

How to read the type code

The type designation has four parts. ACS580 is the series. 01 marks the wall-mounted construction. 05A7 identifies the rating, and 4 stands for the 380 to 480 V range. After that come plus codes such as +B056 (IP55), +B063 (IP66), +F278 (main switch), +E223 (C1 filter), +C135 (flange mounting) and +P944 (no conduit box, R5 to R9). Leave them out for the plain IP21 drive.

Wet or dusty site? ABB lists +B056 for IP55, and frame R1 then measures 403 x 128 x 233 mm. IP66 / UL Type 4X (+B063) measures 522 x 208 x 249 mm, 11.8 kg. Network adapters such as FPBA-01, FSCA-01, FEIP-21 and FMBT-21 plug in with codes +K454, +K458, +K490 and +K491.

Key features of the ACS580 general purpose drive

• Built-in harmonic choke: the swinging DC choke reduces input current harmonics, which lowers the load on supply transformers and generator sets.
• Integrated EMC filter: the drive is supplied with a filter for the second environment as standard, with options for stricter requirements.
• Safe Torque Off: STO is built in, so the motor torque can be removed safely as part of a machine safety function without an extra contactor in many designs.
• Assistant control panel: plain-language menus and start-up assistants guide the user through motor data, I/O and application settings.
• Embedded Modbus RTU: EIA-485 communication is included, and plug-in adapters add PROFIBUS, PROFINET, EtherNet/IP or Modbus TCP when required.
• Process control functions: the PID controller, energy calculators and pump and fan oriented features let the drive control pressure or flow directly.

Choosing between light duty and heavy duty

The same drive hardware carries different motor ratings depending on the overload the application demands. Centrifugal pumps and fans have a torque that rises with speed and rarely need more than nominal torque, so the light-duty figure applies and this drive suits a 2.2 kW motor. Conveyors, mixers, positive displacement pumps and crushers can demand high starting torque or repeated overloads; for these, use the heavy-duty current of 4 A and a 1.5 kW motor, or move up to the next frame rating. When in doubt, compare the motor full-load current on the nameplate with the drive current for the actual duty, not just the kW figure.

Installation and maintenance tips

• Mount the drive vertically on a solid wall or panel and leave the free space above and below specified in the hardware manual for cooling air.
• Use symmetrical shielded motor cable, ground the shield 360° at the drive, and keep motor cables separate from control and communication wiring.
• Check that the motor insulation is suitable for drive supply, especially on older motors or long cable runs.
• Keep the heatsink and cooling fan clean, and replace the fan and DC capacitors according to the maintenance intervals ABB publishes.
• Back up parameters with the control panel so a replacement drive can be commissioned quickly.

Applications in Oman and GCC conditions

ACS580 drives of this size are widely used on chilled water and condenser pumps, AHU and cooling tower fans, irrigation and lift-station pumps, and small conveyors in cement and food plants. Because catalogue ratings refer to 40 °C and 1000 m, a panel in an unconditioned plant room in Muscat or Sohar in summer can easily exceed the rated ambient; apply the derating from the hardware manual or size one rating higher. For dusty quarries and outdoor pump stations, the IP55 (+B056) or IP66 (+B063) variants avoid the need for a separate enclosure, but they still need shading from direct sun. On generator-fed sites, the built-in choke helps limit harmonic distortion on the supply.

What to include in your RFQ

• Type code ACS580-01-05A7-4 and any plus codes (enclosure, main switch, filter, fieldbus adapter).
• Motor nameplate data and the type of load (pump, fan, conveyor).
• Supply voltage and whether the site is generator-fed.
• Ambient temperature and altitude at the installation site.
• Quantity, delivery location and required date.

Documentation and ordering

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 ACS580-01-05A7-4 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.
