ABB has expanded its all-compatible drive portfolio with the introduction of a new wall-mounted frame, extending the ACS580-01, ACQ580-01 and ACH580-01 drive ranges with new 315 kW and 355 kW power ratings. The new frame delivers up to 355 kW in a compact wall-mounted format, positioning ABB among the most compact solutions in this power class.
The new frame responds to increasing demand for higher output power combined with limited installation space. Its compact design helps reduce cabinet size, panel footprint and system complexity, lowering integration costs across a wide range of applications, including cooling and refrigeration, water and wastewater, heat pump systems, and general industrial processes.
The wall-mounted drives can be skid-mounted directly to the application or installed within cabinets, including under-unit horizontal mounting. This flexibility enables efficient integration into machine and system structures, supporting compact layouts and modular designs.
All ACS580-01, ACQ580-01 and ACH580-01 variants are available in IP21 and IP55 enclosures, making them suitable for both cabinet installation and more demanding environments. The drives are engineered for harsh operating conditions, supporting ambient temperatures of up to 55 °C (40 °C without derating) and meeting C3 (IP21) and C4 (IP55) environmental classifications for long-term reliability.
Installation, commissioning, and servicing are simplified through an optimized wiring terminal section and a patented tilting cabling box, providing fast access to internal components and improving accessibility during installation and maintenance. Offline configuration capabilities allow parameter setup and commissioning without requiring the physical drive, helping reduce overall commissioning time.
Application-specific functionality is supported across the drive families. For cooling and refrigeration applications, this includes dedicated compressor functionality with support for standard refrigerant tables and Antoine coefficients for custom refrigerants, enabling straightforward integration and redundancy in both new and existing systems. A2L and A3 refrigeration conformity documentation is included to support compliance with modern refrigerants where applicable.
To support sustainability objectives, Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) are available, helping manufacturers and system integrators assess environmental impact and advance lifecycle sustainability goals.
“The demand for higher-output systems continues to grow, while available installation space is becoming increasingly limited,” said Andy Organ, Global Product Manager – HVACR drives at ABB. “By extending the ACS580, ACQ580 and ACH580 families up to 355 kW in a wall-mounted design, we help our customers build more compact, cost-effective and reliable solutions across multiple industries.”
With the introduction of the new 315 and 355 kW wall-mounted frame, ABB further strengthens its all-compatible drive platform, providing greater flexibility, higher power density and application-optimized functionality for a broad range of industrial and infrastructure applications.
