Designed to simplify drive selection, set up, operation and maintenance, 

the ACS580 general purpose drives conquer more applications in more industries without the head scratching complexities.

One product, many applications

The drive includes all the essential components for typical light

industry applications. The ACS580 is ready to control compressors,

conveyors, mixers, chippers, extruders, as well as many other variable

and costant torque applications.

Reliability and constant high quality

ACS580 drives are designed for customers who value high quality and

robustness in their applications. Coated control boards, high enclosure

classes, and motor temperature monitoring along with supervision and

other protection functions ensure your processes will run smoothly – even

in harsh conditions. In addition, all the drives are tested during production

at maximum temperature and with nominal loads. We make sure the

drives perform as they should so you do not need to worry about it.

Efficiency and simplicity for many applications

All the essential features are built-in, which makes the drive

suitable for a broad range of applications. Built-in features

and components simplify drive selection and reduce

the need for additional hardware. The user-friendly,

functionality-focused menu with multiple languages on

the ACS480 control panel provides smart and quick

commissioning and startup of the drive. Users can also

upgrade the panel to an optimal Bluetooth control panel for

wireless commissioning and monitoring. Primary settings

and integrated macros are designed to make setting

parameters and commissioning as simple as possible

with only a few clicks.

Scalable offering

What if you require even more flexibility? You can choose

the next member of the all-compatible drives portfolio,

such as the ACS580 general purpose drive, or for even more

demanding applications, the ACS880 is there to help you.

These drives share similar user interfaces and options,

enabling you to use the knowledge you have gained with

the ACS480 drives. You increasingly keep saving time,

as it is not wasted on learning one new interface after

another. And saving time translates to saving money and

improving profit potential.

The next generation in ANSI medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker technology.

The AMVAC is the next generation of ANSI medium voltage vacuum circuit breaker, 

utilizing magnetic actuation technology to provide a more reliable and longer lasting solution to the industry. 

This is made possible by the simplicity of the magnetic actuator design features such as one moving part and built-in safety features.
