ABB 3AUA0000220483 ACH580 HVAC Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonics
Part Number: 3AUA0000220483
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 HVAC drive is a wall-mounted controller that manages fans, pumps and compressors in HVAC systems. Many installations struggle with harmonic distortion, lengthy commissioning, and wiring complexity that delay projects and raise costs. This drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance, with THDi typically under 3%, and includes an active supply unit plus integrated low-harmonic line filter to minimize external components. Built for reliability, it comes in IP21 standard (with IP55 and flange mounting options) and offers easy remote commissioning via optional Bluetooth. By combining smart control with installation efficiency, this solution supports energy efficiency goals and faster downtime-ready operation for critical HVAC equipment.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000220483 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.
