Product Information
Extended Description
3ABD00058695-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.
Built-in control features simplify startup and commissioning, delivering faster deployment for HVAC fans, pumps, and compressors. This reduces on-site wiring complexity and accelerates time-to-commissioning, enabling system integrators to meet tight project deadlines and avoid costly delays. In practice, the ACH531-01 can directly drive critical HVAC components such as air handling fans or condenser pumps, delivering precise speed control and stable operation across normal and mission-critical conditions. The IP20 wall-mounted enclosure is designed for compact installation in service rooms and equipment closets where space is at a premium. This mounting approach minimizes cabinet footprint while keeping the drive accessible for maintenance. The robust design also helps meet general safety requirements in busy mechanical rooms, supporting quick retrofits and upgrades without extensive enclosure remodeling. With a 7.5 kW rating and 17 A nominal current, the ACH531-01-018A-4+P973 is well matched to mid-size HVAC fans, pumps, and air-handling units. The IEC-based rating streamlines electrical design, reduces cable runs, and supports scalable expansion as loads grow. This makes it an ideal choice for commercial offices, data centers, and industrial facilities seeking energy-efficient fan and pump control. Optional Bluetooth enables commissioning and monitoring from a distance, reducing service truck rolls and enabling remote diagnostics. Engineers can validate performance and adjust parameters via a mobile device during startup, commissioning, or routine maintenance. This capability also supports ongoing energy management initiatives by enabling timely software updates and inline troubleshooting without on-site visits. Built to integrate with standard HVAC controls and safety features, the ACH531-01 offers compatibility with common networked control schemes and a simple basic control panel for startup. Its rugged IP20 enclosure supports long-term operation in mission-critical environments, while the built-in control logic reduces external hardware needs. These attributes translate to lower total cost of ownership, improved energy efficiency, and smoother retrofit campaigns.
