It carries CE certification and IP21 enclosure reliability, with an IP55 flange-mount option for demanding environments and continued operation in service-heavy facilities. Built-in active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter minimize external components, enabling faster setup and fewer field adjustments. Bluetooth commissioning (optional) and an HVAC-focused control panel streamline startup, monitoring, and remote diagnostics, delivering measurable business value through lower total cost of ownership and enhanced system performance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220475 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580-31-012A delivers ultra-low harmonic performance with a built-in active supply unit and an integrated low harmonic line filter, achieving THDi below 3% and eliminating the need for external filters or multi-pulse configurations. This directly reduces harmonic-related losses and equipment stress, improving motor efficiency in HVAC applications such as fans, pumps, and compressors. Application: HVAC systems in commercial buildings and industrial facilities, where power quality affects fan curves, pump efficiency, and overall air handling performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive combines an integrated low harmonic filter with an active supply unit, cutting installation time and labor costs by removing external components and multiple wiring phases. This is especially valuable in retrofits and new builds where installation schedules are tight. Application: Retrofit projects for AHUs and central plant equipment. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Output voltage boost and power factor correction improve grid readiness and motor performance, reducing voltage drop effects on long cable runs and ensuring stable operation of HVAC loads. Application: Chillers, air-handling units, and process cooling loops that demand consistent voltage and high power quality. Feature → Business Impact → Application: HVAC-specific control panel and optional Bluetooth capability enable rapid commissioning and remote monitoring, lowering service visits and accelerating fault diagnosis. Application: New installations and continuous operations in remote facilities or multiple-building campuses. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP21 standard enclosure with wall mounting, plus IP55 flange mounting availability, provides flexible installation in restricted spaces while maintaining protection for critical HVAC components. Application: Rooftop units, mechanical rooms, and compact plant rooms where space savings and protection are key. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in components (active supply unit and integrated line filter) reduce total cost of ownership by simplifying maintenance and lowering spare-part inventories. Application: OEM equipment, building automation projects, and service providers seeking predictable performance with lower lifecycle costs.

FAQs
The ACH580-31-012A is designed for HVAC applications including fans, pumps, compressors, air-handling units (AHUs), and chillers. Its wall-mount form with IP21 protection (IP55 flange option available) makes it suitable for mechanical rooms and compact plant spaces, simplifying retrofits and new installations.
The drive targets THDi below 3%, achieved through an integrated active supply unit and an internal low harmonic line filter. This design minimizes external filter hardware, reduces installation complexity, and improves power quality for sensitive HVAC loads.
Yes. The ACH580-31-012A is purpose-built for HVAC equipment such as fans, pumps, AHUs, and chillers. Its HVAC-specific control features, combined with harmonic mitigation and power factor correction, optimize system performance and energy efficiency in those applications.
The unit is CE certified and ships with an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 flange mounting as an option. These ratings support reliable operation in typical mechanical rooms and more demanding environments when configured with IP55 components.
Key benefits include reduced installation time due to built-in components (active supply unit and integrated filter), elimination of external filters, easier commissioning (HVAC-focused control panel and optional Bluetooth), and improved energy efficiency from THDi below 3%, all contributing to a lower total cost of ownership.
