ACS580-01-246A-4 132kW General Purpose Drive 400V IP21 R8 | ABB

The Original New ABB ACS580-01-246A-4 is a 132 kW (180 HP) general purpose wall-mounted drive from the ABB ACS580 series, engineered for reliable high-power motor control across a wide range of demanding industrial applications. Rated at 246 A with a 380–480 V three-phase input, this drive delivers efficient speed and torque control for compressors, conveyors, pumps, extruders, centrifuges, mixers, fans, and many other variable and constant torque applications. Featuring an IP21 / UL Type 1 enclosure, integrated EMC filter (Category C2), built-in brake chopper, and Safe Torque Off (STO) safety function, the ACS580-01-246A-4 simplifies installation and reduces the need for external components. The drive is part of the all-compatible ABB general purpose drive portfolio, and includes an intuitive assistant control panel for fast commissioning. Its robust R8 frame design makes it suitable for heavy industrial environments across multiple sectors, including mining, oil and gas, water treatment, and large-scale manufacturing.
