ABB 3AUA0000220469 HVAC Drive - Ultra-low THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AUA0000220469
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive controls fans, pumps, and compressors with high precision for reliable commercial HVAC operation. Installation challenges like harmonic distortion, lengthy commissioning, and the need for external filters can drive up cost and delay projects. This wall-mounted solution uses an IP21 enclosure by default with optional IP55 and a UL-listed configuration to meet safety and reliability needs, while delivering THDi below 3%. Built-in HVAC-specific control panels and power factor correction shorten commissioning time and simplify operation. For engineers and procurement teams, the result is lower total cost of ownership and easier integration with building management systems, delivering value across the project lifecycle.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220469 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.

FAQs
Installation should follow the wall-mount configuration with the IP21 enclosure as standard. Ensure a 460 V supply, up to 34 A, and 25 Hp capacity are matched to the application. Route motor and sensor wiring cleanly, use the built-in control panel for initial parameterization, and leverage the integrated low-harmonic filter to minimize external components. Optional IP55 mounting and Bluetooth enable remote commissioning when required.
Key performance specs include THDi < 3% through the integrated low-harmonic line filter and active supply unit, along with output voltage boost and power factor correction. These features reduce harmonic distortion, improve motor efficiency, and help meet utility and regulatory guidelines, delivering tangible energy savings across fans, pumps, and compressors in HVAC systems.
Yes. The standard is an IP21 enclosure, designed for wall-mounted installation in indoor environments. Optional IP55 enclosure and flange-mount variants are available for harsher or space-constrained installations. This flexibility supports a wide range of HVAC setups, from equipment rooms to compact mechanical spaces, while maintaining appropriate protection levels.
The ACH580 variant supporting 3AUA0000220469 includes a UL-listed configuration for safety compliance and reliability. It also features IP-rated enclosures (IP21 standard, IP55 optional), aligning with common industrial safety and electrical standards for HVAC equipment.
The integrated features reduce external components and commissioning time, lowering installation costs and labor. THDi reduction improves electrical efficiency and reduces utility penalties, while remote commissioning (Bluetooth option) minimizes site visits. Overall, expect faster project delivery, lower maintenance costs, and improved system reliability in HVAC applications.
