ABB 3AUA0000220482 Wall-mounted HVAC Drive - THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AUA0000220482
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000220482 is a wall-mounted HVAC drive that optimizes fans, pumps and compressors in HVAC systems. Many installations suffer from harmonic distortion, lengthy commissioning, and the need for external filters, driving costs and downtime. Key standards include IP21 enclosure by default with IP55 option and ultra-low harmonic performance (THDi under 3%), supporting reliable, compliant operation. The integrated features—active supply unit, built-in low-harmonic line filter, output boost, and PF correction—deliver faster installation, easier commissioning, and measurable energy efficiency for HVAC equipment. Bluetooth capability is optional for remote commissioning, monitoring, and troubleshooting, saving on field service time.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220482 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.

FAQs
When mounting the ACH580 on a wall, ensure the wall can support the drive's weight and allow adequate clearance for ventilation and cable access. Use the IP21 enclosure as standard and consider IP55 if the environment is harsh. Plan for accessible terminals and a stable mounting surface to minimize vibration and thermal build-up.
THDi under 3% means significantly lower harmonic distortion on the supply, reducing additional losses in transformers and cables and improving overall power quality. This translates to smoother operation of HVAC equipment, reduced maintenance needs, and potential energy savings due to more stable current and voltage profiles.
Yes. The ACH580 variant is designed to control fans, pumps, and compressors, including air-handling units and chillers. Its built-in low-harmonic features, PF correction, and output boost support precise speed control, energy efficiency, and reliable operation in complex HVAC segments.
The unit ships in an IP21 enclosure by default and can be equipped with IP55 for harsher environments. It is designed for wall mounting, enabling compact integration in control rooms or on equipment skids without requiring separate filter housings or external transformers.
Maintenance is typically reduced due to the built-in active supply unit and low-harmonic filter, which lowers wiring complexity and eliminates external filters. The PF correction and voltage-boost features improve system efficiency, contributing to faster return on investment through energy savings and reduced commissioning/service visits.
