VFD for Compressors: Selection Guide
How to select and size a VFD for screw, reciprocating and centrifugal compressors, covering overload rating, turndown limits and energy savings.
ABB ACS580-01-07A3-4, 3 kW / 7.2 A / 400 V wall-mounted AC drive, IP21 frame R1.
The ABB ACS580-01-07A3-4 (order code 3AXD50000038951) is a 3 kW, 7.2 A general purpose AC drive for a 400 V three-phase supply, wall-mounted in an IP21 frame R1 enclosure for pumps, fans, conveyors and similar variable-torque loads. It runs at 47.5-63 Hz with onboard RS-485 for Modbus RTU and a USB port for the PC tool.
At 3 kW and 7.2 A, this is the highest-rated R1-frame unit in this lineup, sitting just below where the R2 frame begins; its heavy-duty rating (2.2 kW/5.6 A) is the figure to size against for high-starting-torque loads. Beyond the light-overload rating of 6.8 A, the next step is the R2 frame rather than pushing this frame past its continuous rating.
