ABB IP66 / Type 4X Drives

For Demanding Environments

• ACS580, ACH580 and ACQ580 IP66 / UL Type 4X drives join ABB's all-compatible drive portfolio, engineered for the most demanding environments

• Purpose-built to withstand extreme rain, heat, cold, salt spray, dust and humidity, the drives deliver robust, reliable and efficient motor control across a broad range of industrial and infrastructure applications.

• An optional Bluetooth control panel enables seamless connectivity, remote commissioning and monitoring, while keeping personnel safely outside the arc flash boundary.

ABB has extended its all-compatible drive portfolio with the introduction of IP66 / UL Type 4X rated variants across its ACS580 General Purpose, ACH580 HVACR, and ACQ580 Water & Wastewater drive families. Purpose-built for the most demanding operating environments, the new drives can withstand extreme rain, heat, cold, salt spray, hosing down, dust, cleaning agents, corrosive gases and humidity, delivering robust, reliable and efficient motor control - with energy savings typically reaching 25% - where conventional drives would fall short.

The expansion addresses growing demand for high-performance drives capable of operating in harsh conditions without the need for additional protective enclosures, helping to reduce installation complexity, system footprint and total cost of ownership across several industries and applications.

1) The ACH580 IP66 drive controlling a rooftop air handler withstands rain and snow

2) Mount the ACQ580 IP66 drive right next to a clarifyer - it will withstand corrosive gases such as ammonia and chlorine compounds.



3) ACS580 IP66 drives, resistant to hosing down and cleaning agents, are perfect for food and beverage applications

The ACS580 drives are suited to food & beverage and agricultural environments where washdown, chemical exposure and stringent hygiene standards are routine, covering applications such as dairy, meat processing, bakery and aquaculture. The ACQ580 variants offer exceptional corrosion resistance for water and wastewater infrastructure, including pump stations, clarifiers and dosing systems, where caustic chemicals and gases are commonplace. The ACH580 drives extend the same level of protection to HVACR applications, making them a natural fit for rooftop air handlers, cooling towers, outdoor pump skids and exterior supply and exhaust fans.

An optional Bluetooth control panel enables seamless connectivity, commissioning and monitoring through ABB's Drivetune and Drive Composer applications, with the added safety benefit of keeping personnel outside the arc flash boundary during live work. The drives also feature an optional DC choke, a built-in C2 EMC filter and two option slots for fieldbus adapters and additional I/Os, providing system integrators with the flexibility to tailor connectivity to specific application requirements.

With the additional of IP66 / UL Type 4X variants to the ACS580, ACH580 and ACQ580 families, ABB further strengthens its all-compatible drive platform, offering customers a cohesive, application-optimized portfolio that now spans multiple environmental ratings and installation demands. The new drives are available in a broad section of power ratings, providing extensive coverage across key applications and markets.

Power-Flo Technologies is proud to partner with ABB in bringing the new IP66 / UL Type 4X versions of the ACS580, ACH580, and ACQ580 drive families to market, giving operators a durable, high-performance solution designed to deliver reliable motor control in some of the toughest industrial and infrastructure environments. By eliminating the need for additional protective enclosures, these drives simplify installation, reduce overall system costs and improve operational flexibility. Combined with ABB's all-compatible architecture, advanced connectivity options and proven energy-saving performance, they help organizations enhance efficiency, reliability and safety across industrial, HVACR, water and wastewater applications. Whether facing harsh weather, corrosive environments or demanding washdown requirements, ABB's latest drive solutions are built to deliver long-term performance where it matters most.
