Part Number: 3AUA0000220474
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive delivers ultra-low harmonic control for HVAC systems in commercial buildings. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and prolonged commissioning when upgrading drives in constrained mechanical spaces. This solution offers IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and wall-mount options, plus an integrated low-harmonic line filter and active supply unit to meet low-harmonic recommendations. The built-in features shorten installation time, while the HVAC-specific control panel and optional Bluetooth enable remote commissioning and monitoring, reducing on-site visits. Together, these capabilities support reliable operation of fans, pumps, and compressors, delivering energy efficiency and regulatory compliance for critical facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220474 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 performance is achieved with an integrated active supply unit and a low harmonic line filter, reducing harmonic distortion at the source and simplifying compliance with utility recommendations. In practice, this means smoother motor operation for fans, pumps and air-handling units, and fewer commissioning hurdles. Output voltage boost and built-in power factor correction improve grid efficiency and reduce reactive power draw, translating into lower energy costs and tighter voltage control within HVAC plants. The HVAC-specific control panel, combined with optional Bluetooth for remote commissioning, speeds setup and enables monitoring from a distance, cutting service time and improving uptime. IP21 enclosure is standard with wall-mount installation that saves space, while IP55 is available for more demanding environments, addressing common installation objections. In short, the ACH580 drive supports reliable operation for fans, pumps, compressors and chillers, delivering measurable gains in energy efficiency, reliability and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
The ACH580 is designed as a wall-mounted HVAC drive suitable for fans, pumps, compressors, and air-handling units. With an IP21 enclosure standard and optional IP55 rating, it adapts to typical mechanical rooms and wall installations. Its integrated low-harmonic filter and active supply unit simplify retrofits by reducing the need for external filters and multi-pulse arrangements, while the optional Bluetooth capability enables remote setup and monitoring to minimize on-site visits.
This drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with a total harmonic current distortion (THDi) of less than 3% under typical operating conditions. The integrated low-harmonic line filter and built-in active supply unit help meet low-harmonic recommendations, reducing electrical interference and improving power quality for HVAC applications such as fans, pumps, and chillers.
Yes, the ACH580 offers optional Bluetooth capability for commissioning and remote monitoring. This feature enables technicians to configure settings, calibrate control parameters, and monitor drive performance from a distance, reducing on-site labor, accelerating start-ups, and supporting proactive maintenance in facilities management programs.
The unit ships with an IP21 enclosure as standard and is designed for wall mounting, providing space-saving installation suitable for mechanical rooms and corridor spaces. An IP55 option is available for more demanding environments, offering higher protection against dust and water splash while preserving the wall-mounted form factor.
Key benefits include reduced energy consumption thanks to improved power factor and lower reactive power, minimized harmonic distortion improving equipment longevity, and shorter installation and commissioning cycles. Remote monitoring via Bluetooth further lowers maintenance costs, while the integrated features reduce the need for external components, delivering a lower total cost of ownership for critical facilities.
