Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220434 ABB: ACH580 HVAC 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 smooth, energy-efficient operation of your HVAC systems in normal and mission-critical situations. This ultra-low variant provides ultimate harmonic performance, reaching even less than 3 % THDi, and exceeding the requirements set by low harmonic recommendations. The drive includes an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, meaning there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers. Other features include output voltage boost and power factor correction. The built-in features significantly reduce installation time, and the intuitive HVAC specific control panel and help assistants make operation easy. The optional Bluetooth=C2=AE capability enables the commissioning and monitoring of the drive from a distance. The variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Ultra-low harmonic control with THDi below 3% and an integrated low-harmonic line filter delivers cleaner power and steadier motor current. This reduces grid distortion, eliminates external filters, and simplifies the installation, cutting set-up time and BOM costs for HVAC projects. Applications include fans, pumps, and compressors in air handling units, ensuring stable operation in difficult electrical environments. An active supply unit and integrated line filter remove the need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements, or special transformers. The business impact is lower capital expenditure and fewer field wiring mistakes, delivering faster commissioning and more predictable performance. This is especially valuable in retrofit HVAC projects where space and time are at a premium. Output voltage boost and power factor correction enhance motor torque and energy efficiency, reducing energy waste in high-demand HVAC loads like fans and compressors. The result is improved drive performance, lower utility penalties, and better compliance with power quality guidelines. The HVAC-oriented control panel and help assistants streamline setup and daily operation, while optional Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring from a central office. This reduces onsite labor, speeds fault diagnosis, and supports preventive maintenance planning. Standard IP21 wall-mount enclosure with optional IP55 and flange-mount configurations offers flexible installation in mechanical rooms and duct spaces. This protects hardware in humid or dusty environments and simplifies mounting on walls or rails, cutting enclosure-related installation time. Ultra-low harmonic performance aligns with low-harmonic recommendations for HVAC drives, delivering reliable operation in mission-critical environments. Combined with ABB's engineering support, this reduces risk of electrical interference, improves grid compliance, and supports longer motor life.

FAQs
For ducted HVAC systems, plan for a wall-mounted installation with the IP21 enclosure as standard and consider optional IP55 mounting for harsher environments. Ensure a 230 V supply capable of 7.6 A and a 5 HP motor rating. The drive’s integrated low harmonic filter reduces external components, simplifying wiring and reducing field labor during commissioning.
A THDi below 3% indicates significantly reduced harmonic distortion on the supply, improving power quality, lowering heat in cables and motors, and reducing electromagnetic interference. This supports more efficient motor operation, smoother starts, and less stress on electrical infrastructure, which translates into lower maintenance and energy costs over the drive’s life cycle.
Yes. The ACH580-31-07A6-4 is designed for HVAC applications, including fans, pumps, compressors, air handling units, and chillers. Its integrated features, such as the active supply unit and low-harmonic filter, simplify installation in HVAC environments while delivering precise control and energy efficiency for large-scale air handling and cooling systems.
The drive supports UL listing and standard IP21 enclosure protection, with options for IP55 mounting. These certifications and ratings help ensure reliable operation in mechanical rooms and restricted spaces, while maintaining compliance with common North American electrical standards and installation best practices for HVAC equipment.
Expect lower maintenance with fewer external components due to the integrated filter and active supply unit, plus easier commissioning from the HVAC-specific control panel. Energy savings come from improved power factor and efficient motor control, while reduced grid distortion lowers risk of faults and downtime, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
