Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220476 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 operation is achieved through an integrated low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit. This feature reduces neutral current, lowers transformer losses and improves grid compatibility. Lowering harmonic distortions translates to smaller cable and transformer sizing, fewer external filters, and faster commissioning. Application-wise, it is ideal for HVAC fans, pumps and compressors driving air handling units and chillers. Output voltage boost and power factor correction are built in, delivering more stable motor voltage during throughput fluctuations and improving overall efficiency. This reduces energy waste, enhances motor life, and supports better performance in variable-load HVAC systems. Typical applications include diverse HVAC setups in commercial and industrial facilities where energy savings add up over time. Built-in Bluetooth capability is optional for remote commissioning and monitoring. This capability reduces on-site visits, accelerates start-ups, and enables proactive maintenance through remote diagnostics. Use it across distributed HVAC equipment or multi-unit installations to maximize uptime and simplify service planning. IP21 enclosure is standard, with IP55 and flange-mount options available. This provides installation flexibility for wall mounting in tight mechanical rooms or retrofits, while maintaining enclosure protection for humid or dusty environments. An HVAC-specific control panel and help assistants streamline operation. Operators gain intuitive parameter guidance, faster commissioning, and reduced training time, lowering the total cost of ownership. The integrated active supply unit and built-in filters reduce wiring complexity and parts count, delivering faster installation, shorter commissioning windows, and lower material costs on retrofit or new-build projects.
