Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220470 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 design: The ACH580 HVAC drive achieves THDi under 3 percent, reducing harmonic pollution and helping facilities meet electrical standards without external filters or multi-pulse arrangements. Business impact: lower lifecycle costs, simplified compliance, and fewer maintenance headaches in retrofit projects. Application: ideal for air handling units and chillers where tight power quality is essential for reliability. Built-in active EMI suppression and integrated low harmonic line filter: This combination minimizes external components and accelerates installation, cutting on-site labor and material costs. Application: smooth integration into existing power networks with minimal wiring changes. The drive also supports output voltage boost and power factor correction, enabling energy-efficient operation of fans and pumps under varying loads, improving overall plant efficiency. Business impact: measurable energy savings and enhanced back-end power quality for utility rebates. Application: large HVAC loops where variable-speed control yields proportional energy reductions. Intuitive, HVAC-specific control panel with help assistants and optional Bluetooth enables rapid commissioning and easier ongoing tuning. Business impact: faster project delivery, fewer commissioning visits, and improved operator confidence. Application: building management system (BMS) integration and remote monitoring for fault diagnostics. IP21 standard enclosure with wall-mount flexibility, plus IP55 and flange mounting options offer installation versatility across plant layouts. Business impact: scalable deployment in tight spaces and harsh environments, reducing installation time and retrofit risk. Application: retrofit projects in retrofits or new builds with compact mechanical footprints. The ultra-low harmonic variant’s advanced protection and built-in features mitigate common objections about complex external components, enabling simpler procurement, reduced BOM, and faster time-to-value for HVAC modernization.

FAQs
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for wall mounting with IP21 enclosure standard. It supports 460 V systems up to 44 A and integrates an active supply unit with a built-in low harmonic line filter, eliminating the need for external filters in many installations. This simplifies wiring, reduces project timelines, and fits compact mechanical spaces typical in HVAC rooms.
The drive delivers ultra-low harmonic distortion with THDi under 3%. This is achieved through an integrated low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, which minimizes distortions to the electrical network. Benefits include improved power quality, easier compliance with electrical standards, and reduced risk of nuisance tripping on upstream transformers or feeders.
The ACH580 is optimized for fans, pumps, compressors, air-handling units, and chillers. It supports energy-efficient, variable-speed control for large HVAC loops, helping reduce energy consumption while maintaining precise process and comfort levels. Its built-in diagnostics and intuitive control panel simplify tuning for these loads.
This model comes with UL-listed safety and CE compliance. The standard IP21 enclosure suits many indoor installations, and optional IP55 or flange-mount configurations expand its suitability for harsher environments or restricted spaces, ensuring reliability in diverse plant layouts.
Yes. The drive offers an optional Bluetooth capability for remote commissioning and monitoring, enabling you to configure, start-up, and adjust parameters from a distance. This reduces on-site visits, speeds up project timelines, and supports ongoing performance tuning and fault diagnostics.
