ABB ACH580-31-027A-4 HVAC Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonic
Part Number: 3AUA0000220468
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-31-027A-4 HVAC drive is a wall-mounted solution that delivers precise speed control for fans, pumps, and compressors in HVAC systems. Engineers frequently confront energy waste and harmonic distortion that shorten motor life and raise operating costs. This ultra-low harmonic variant achieves THDi below 3% thanks to an integrated low-harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, reducing the need for external filters or complex transformers. The enclosure starts at IP21 for wall mounting with optional IP55 or flange options, supporting compact layouts. In practice, it boosts energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of startup, and offers remote monitoring via Bluetooth for distributed sites.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220468 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.
Integrated low harmonic filter and active supply unit remove the need for external filters and multi-pulse transformers, cutting installation time, cabinet space, and material costs, delivering faster ROI for HVAC projects. It is a 20 Hp, 27 A drive rated for 460 V, enabling compact, scalable control for mid-size HVAC assets, while THDi remains under 3%, improving power quality and easing utility compliance. The standard IP21 wall-mount enclosure is complemented by IP55 and flange mounting options for tougher environments, reducing retrofit risk and labor, and enabling closer integration with mechanical rooms. Optional Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring without on-site visits, shortening maintenance windows and facilitating rapid parameter tuning for energy optimization. PF correction, voltage boost, and harmonic suppression support sustained efficiency under fluctuating loads, delivering reliable operation in data centers, campuses, and large commercial buildings.

FAQs
The ACH580-31-027A-4 is designed for HVAC fans, pumps, and compressors, particularly in air handling units, chillers, and rooftop systems. Its wall-mounted form and 460 V, 27 A, 20 Hp rating support mid-size equipment with precise speed control. This drive improves startup sequences, reduces electrical stress on motors, and enhances overall building comfort and system stability.
It achieves ultra-low harmonic performance through an integrated low harmonic filter and active supply unit, pushing THDi below 3%. This minimizes harmonic distortion on the system, reduces the need for external filters, and improves power quality for sensitive electrical equipment. It also helps meet utility and building energy guidelines while maintaining motor efficiency.
By eliminating external filters and complex multi-pulse configurations, the built-in filter reduces cabinet size, wiring runs, and assembly time. This translates into lower material costs, fewer field components, and faster commissioning. Maintenance is simplified since fewer parts require calibration or replacement.
Yes. The standard enclosure is IP21 for wall mounting, with IP55 and flange mounting options available for harsher environments or alternative installation layouts. This flexibility helps facilities adapt to space constraints, protect electronics from dust and moisture, and simplify retrofits in existing mechanical rooms.
Optional Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring, allowing parameter tuning, firmware updates, and fault diagnostics from a distance. This reduces on-site visits, accelerates maintenance windows, and supports energy optimization initiatives across distributed HVAC networks.
