ABB launches IP66/Type 4X drives for Australia's harsh industrial environments

ABB has launched ACS580, ACH580 and ACQ580 drives with IP66/Type 4X protection for Australia's demanding industrial environments. The drives are tailored for food and beverage, HVACR, and water and wastewater applications exposed to dust, water, humidity and outdoor weather. The IP66/Type 4X design allows drives to be positioned closer to applications, potentially reducing installation costs by eliminating protective enclosures and shortening motor cable runs. Built-in features include coated circuit boards, integrated EMC C2 filtering, DC choke for harmonic mitigation, and Safe Torque Off. ABB emphasises that IP66 rating only covers dust and water ingress protection. Environmental characteristics like UV, corrosion and chemical resistance require separate assessment. The drives are available in power ratings from 5.5 kW to 22 kW.
