Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00058691-D ABB: The ACH531 drive offering has all key features built-in to control fans, pumps and compressors, and more complex equipment like air-handling units and chillers, ensuring a smooth, energy-efficient operation of your HVAC systems in normal and mission-critical situations. The built-in features significantly reduce installation time and the standard basic control panel can make startup, commissioning, and operation easy. The optional Bluetooth=C2=AE capability enables the commissioning and monitoring of the drive from a distance. The ACH531-01 comes in an IP20 enclosure and can be installed on the wall as standard.
Feature presented here is the built-in control for fans, pumps and compressors, which translates to a streamlined startup and reduced wiring complexity. This directly impacts project timelines and site labor costs, particularly in new-build HVAC cabinets or retrofits. The drive’s capability to manage multiple HVAC loads through a single device improves system coordination, enabling tighter speed-torque regulation and energy efficiency across fans, pumps, and compressors. The IP20 wall-mount enclosure offers a compact footprint and simple installation, reducing enclosure space requirements and facilitating quick panel integration. The included basic control panel accelerates commissioning, lowering commissioning risk and enabling faster handover to operations. Optional Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring, cutting site visits and enabling proactive maintenance. These features collectively enhance reliability in air handling units, chillers, and complex HVAC suites while supporting IEC-based design expectations and long-term operating cost reductions. In practice, installers appreciate fewer field junctions, faster fault isolation, and a lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s lifecycle. The 2.2 kW, 5.6 A rating aligns with common HVAC drive requirements, while maintaining headroom for peak loads without oversizing equipment. This balance of performance and simplicity helps contractors meet project schedules and building-owner KPIs for energy use and uptime.
