Brand: ABB
SKU: ACS580-04-505A-4

Description

A 250 kW ACS580 on a 400 V supply

ACS580-04-505A-4 is the open-chassis ACS580-04 module that ABB rates at 250 kW and 400 V. It delivers 505 A continuously (250 kW typical motor power) in frame R10. Use cases include OEM skids needing a 250 to 355 kW module and panel builders who assemble their own cabinet. STO, the multilingual control panel and the panel mounting platform come with every ACS580-04.

Ratings and motor matching of the ACS580-04-505A-4

From the ratings table: nominal 505 A / 250 kW, light overload 485 A / 250 kW, heavy duty 361 A / 200 kW, Imax 560 A. Light-overload use allows 110% for one minute in ten at 40 degrees C; heavy duty allows 150%. On a 460 to 480 V network ABB gives 483 A (400 Hp) light-overload and 361 A (300 Hp) heavy duty. Variable-torque loads such as pumps and fans normally use the light-overload column.

Cabinet design should allow 5600 W of loss and 1200 m3/h of air; noise reaches 72 dBA at full fan speed. Fuse sizes and types for the R10 and R11 modules are given in the ACS580 hardware manual 3AXD50000015497, not in the catalogue, so check them there. Rated at +40 degrees C in an enclosure of IP00 or IP20.

Allow a cabinet space of 350 mm width, 1462 mm height and 529 mm depth for the module (162 kg). Construction options include +B051 IP20 shrouds for finger-safe operation and +H370 full-size input power terminals for busbars or multiple cables.

Reading the type code

The designation splits into ACS580, 4 (drive module), the 505 A size and 4 for 380 to 480 V. ABB’s option list includes +L501 for CMOD-01 external 24 V and relays, +L523 for CMOD-02 with isolated PTC interface, +L512 for CHDI-01 115/230 V digital inputs. Category C2 applies to wall-mounted drives and cabinets to R9, while modules and R10 or R11 cabinet drives meet C3 without external filters. No brake chopper is built in at this size, so braking is added externally.

Documentation and ordering

This page follows the linked ACS580 catalogue (3AUA0000145061, Rev G) and the ABB product page for the ACS580-04-505A-4. Seven Star LLC quotes the ACS580-04-505A-4 from Muscat after receiving the motor nameplate, supply voltage and option list. Please confirm type code, options, motor data and ambient conditions before ordering; the catalogue revision may be newer than the linked one. A quotation request is quickest when it names the motor kW and nameplate current, the supply voltage and frequency, the required enclosure class and any fieldbus the ACS580-04-505A-4 must talk to. Other sizes are listed in AC drives, and the family introduction is on the ABB ACS580 page.

About brand

ABB is the Swiss-Swedish engineering group for electrification and automation: low voltage drives, motors, circuit breakers and motor control, process instruments and analysers, control systems and robots. It was formed on 5 January 1988 by the merger of two older companies. ASEA was founded in Västerås, Sweden, in 1883 by Ludvig Fredholm to make electric lighting and generators. BBC Brown Boveri was founded in Baden near Zurich in 1891 by Charles E. L. Brown and Walter Boveri. ABB Ltd is incorporated in Switzerland, headquartered in Zurich and listed on the SIX Swiss Exchange and Nasdaq Stockholm.

Choosing an ABB drive

ABB's ACS drive codes are easy to read once you know the pattern. In ACS580-01-046A-4, "ACS580" is the drive family, "01" means a wall-mounted single drive, "046A" is the rated output current (about 46 A) and "-4" means a 380–480 V supply. The family is chosen by application: ACS355 for compact machinery, ACS310 for simple pumps and fans, ACS580 as the general-purpose drive, ACQ580 for water and wastewater with pump functions such as pipe fill and dry-run protection, and ACS880 for heavy industrial duty with direct torque control. Size the drive on the motor's full-load current, not only its kW rating, and allow derating for the high ambient temperatures common in Gulf electrical rooms.

Where ABB products are used

In Oman and the GCC, ABB drives and motors run pumps, fans and compressors in water and wastewater plants, district cooling, oil and gas and industry. ABB flowmeters, level instruments and analysers are used in water utilities, power and desalination plants and refineries, and SACE breakers protect switchboards in buildings and plants.
