## ABB Introduces 315 and 355 kW Wall-Mounted VFD Drives

ABB has introduced new wall-mountable variable frequency drives with 315 kW and 355 kW power capacities, designed for industrial automation, HVAC, and water infrastructure. These new products add high-power options to the ACS580, ACQ580, and ACH580 series.

This expanded drive series offers an ideal solution for areas with high power requirements while maintaining a compact wall-mounted design. It was specifically developed for use in cooling systems, water and wastewater infrastructure, and industrial processes where installation space is limited.

### Technical Specifications

• Power range: 315 kW and 355 kW
• Applicable series: ACS580-01, ACQ580-01, and ACH580-01
• Protection class options: IP21 and IP55
• Maximum operating temperature: 55 °C (full performance up to 40 °C)
• Environmental classification: C3 (IP21), C4 (IP55)
• Mounting options: Inside electrical panel or on equipment rack
• Compact wall-mount design reduces installation space
• Flexible integration with under-unit horizontal mounting support

### Applications and Use Cases
These drives support special functions, particularly compressor control in HVAC cooling and industrial processes, and the integration of standard chiller tables. They also offer the ability to configure customized chillers with Antoine coefficients. They are supported by A2L and A3 class certifications, compatible with modern refrigerants with low global warming potential.

### Ease of Installation and Commissioning
The innovative wiring space and optimized terminal section facilitate access during installation and maintenance. Additionally, the offline configuration feature allows system parameters to be set in advance without physically connecting the drive. This speeds up the commissioning process.

### Sustainability and Environmental Impact
Thanks to the Environmental Product Declarations (EPD) provided for the products, the environmental impact of system components can be assessed. These documents support sustainability reporting and life cycle assessments in industrial and infrastructure projects.

With these new 315 and 355 kW wall-mounted drives, ABB has added flexible and high-power drive solutions suitable for industrial, HVAC, and infrastructure applications to its portfolio.
