ABB 3AUA0000220479 Wall-mounted ultra-low harmonic drive - THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AUA0000220479
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000220479 wall-mounted ultra-low harmonic drive optimizes HVAC motor control for fans, pumps and compressors. It addresses the common pain point of harmonic distortion and installation delays that plague commercial HVAC projects. The unit features an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange-mount options to suit different installation environments, plus an integrated active supply unit and low harmonic line filter that remove the need for external components. This approach simplifies commissioning and minimizes wiring complexity, while delivering smoother operation and reduced electrical stress. In practice, the drive supports familiar ABB HVAC controls and offers optional Bluetooth commissioning for remote setup and monitoring, helping facilities shorten project timelines and lower total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220479 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 low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, delivering THDi under 3%. This directly reduces electrical stress on feeders and motors, minimizes stray currents, and eliminates the need for external multi-pulse filters. HVAC applications such as fans, pumps and compressors benefit from cleaner power and steadier torque, improving reliability and reducing maintenance costs. IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange mounting options, enables flexible, space-efficient installation across rooftops and equipment rooms. The wall-mount design simplifies retrofits and new builds alike, cutting console and cabinet footprint while speeding integration with existing HVAC controls. Output voltage boost and power factor correction features enhance motor performance under varying loads, yielding energy savings and better control of air-handling equipment. These built-in capabilities reduce the need for separate power electronics and simplify compliance with energy regulations in commercial buildings. Bluetooth commissioning capability (optional) enables remote setup, commissioning checks and monitoring, reducing site visits and risk during startup. The drive also supports intuitive HVAC-specific control panels and assistants that streamline operation for operators and maintenance teams. Designed for compatibility with ABB HVAC ecosystems, it integrates with typical control sequences for fans, pumps and chillers, and minimizes installation time through built-in protection features and straightforward parameterization. This reduces total cost of ownership by shortening commissioning cycles and lowering maintenance needs over the drive's lifecycle.

FAQs
This wall-mounted drive uses a standard IP21 enclosure (with IP55 option) to fit against walls and in equipment rooms. It simplifies retrofits by eliminating external filters thanks to the integrated low harmonic line filter and active supply unit, and it supports easy integration with existing ABB HVAC controls. Ensure adequate space for heat dissipation and accessibility for maintenance.
THDi under 3% indicates very low harmonic distortion, which reduces electrical noise, improves feeder efficiency, and minimizes stress on motors. For HVAC systems, this translates to smoother fan and pump operation, potential energy savings, and easier compliance with low-harmonic guidelines in commercial buildings.
Yes, Bluetooth commissioning is optional. It enables remote setup, monitoring, and diagnostics, reducing on-site visits during start-up and maintenance. This feature accelerates commissioning, improves field visibility, and helps technicians tune performance without interrupting equipment operation.
Ideal applications include fans, pumps and compressors in air-handling units, chillers, and other HVAC equipment. The built-in voltage boost and power factor correction support stable operation under varying loads, while the ultra-low harmonic design maintains power quality across the system.
By reducing external filter needs, enabling quicker commissioning, and delivering energy-efficient operation, the drive lowers total cost of ownership. The compact, wall-mounted design saves installation time and space, while built-in protection features reduce maintenance downtime and extend equipment life.
