Part Number: 3AUA0000220435
Quick Summary
ACH580 HVAC drive delivers precise motor control for fans, pumps and compressors in commercial HVAC applications. Engineers often battle harmonic distortion, energy waste, and lengthy commissioning when upgrading HVAC drives. With IP21 standard enclosure and optional IP55, plus an integrated low-harmonic line filter and a THDi under 3%, the solution meets reliability and compliance expectations in modern facilities. This combination translates to faster installs, reduced wiring, and lower total cost of ownership, while enabling energy-efficient operation and seamless integration with existing control schemes. The optional Bluetooth capability enables commissioning and monitoring from a distance, further reducing on-site time. Wall-mount design saves cabinet space and simplifies retrofits in constrained mechanical rooms.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220435 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.
