Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220478 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 technology is embedded in the ACH580 platform, delivering THDi <3% through an integrated active supply unit and built-in low harmonic line filter. Business impact: dramatically reduces electrical disturbance, lowers the need for external harmonic mitigation, and supports compliance with industry harmonic guidelines. Application: ideal for HVAC fans, pumps, and compressor trains in air handling units and chillers, particularly where space is tight or retrofit work is required. The result is fewer outages, reduced transformer and filter costs, and easier permit approval.Built-in features simplify installation and commissioning.

FAQs
The ACH580 model is designed for wall mounting with an IP21 enclosure standard, and optional IP55 or flange mounting. It includes an integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter, which reduces the need for external harmonic mitigation components. Bluetooth connectivity is available for remote commissioning, minimizing on-site work and enabling easier integration with existing HVAC control schemes.
THDi <3% means the drive introduces minimal harmonic distortion to the power system, reducing electrical stress on upstream transformers and feeders. This translates to lower energy losses, better power quality, and easier compliance with harmonic standards. In practice, fans, pumps, and compressors operate more smoothly with fewer disturbances and potential regulator trips.
Yes. The ACH580 is specifically aimed at HVAC applications such as fans, pumps, compressors, air-handling units, and chillers. Its built-in PF correction, voltage boosting, and minimal harmonic footprint make it well-suited for AHUs and chillers that demand reliable control, energy efficiency, and compact installation in space-constrained environments.
The device is CE compliant and ships with an IP21 enclosure as standard. There are options for IP55 enclosures and flange mounting to suit harsher environments or different installation geometries. These ratings help ensure safe operation in typical HVAC spaces and support site-specific regulatory requirements.
The built-in low harmonic filter and active supply unit reduce the need for external filters and complex wiring, lowering installation time and material costs. Remote commissioning via Bluetooth minimizes site visits, accelerating startup and maintenance. Overall, the solution often delivers faster payback through energy savings, reduced downtime, and simpler, lower-risk deployments.
