Facing worries about harmonic distortion, long installation times, and difficult commissioning, this drive minimizes electrical noise and speeds up deployment. With an IP21 enclosure as standard (IP55 and flange mounting options available), and UL-listed variant handles up to 60 Hp at 460 V for demanding configurations, it fits a range of installation needs. Built-in features like active supply unit, integrated low harmonic line filter, output voltage boost, and PF correction cut external hardware and simplify commissioning—an optimal choice for modern HVAC projects. Optional Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring, adding flexibility for service teams.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220473 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
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for wall mounting with a standard IP21 enclosure, simplifying installation in small equipment rooms and retrofits. IP55 option and flange mounting variants extend flexibility for harsher environments or unique layouts, while the built-in features reduce cabling and wiring complexity.
The ACH580 delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with THDi under 3%, integrated low harmonic line filtering, and an active supply unit. This combination minimizes distortion, enhances power factor, and reduces the need for external filters, making it ideal for fans, pumps, and compressors in HVAC systems.
Optional Bluetooth capability enables commissioning and monitoring without on-site visits. This feature supports remote diagnostics, easier software updates, and faster start-up workflows, which is especially valuable for multi-site deployments or retrofit projects where service access is limited.
The drive operates at 460 V with a current rating of 77 A and supports up to 60 Hp. These specs suit medium-to-large HVAC loads, including high-capacity fans and pumps, offering reliable performance without external harmonic mitigation equipment.
By eliminating external filters, reducing installation time, and improving energy efficiency through PF correction and efficient speed control, the ACH580 lowers total installed cost and maintenance overhead. In HVAC applications, this translates to faster payback and predictable operation across seasonal demand cycles.
