Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000042306 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.
Feature: Built-in active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter simplify installation by eliminating external filters and multi-pulse arrangements. Business Impact: Reduces hardware footprint, lowers installation costs, and shortens commissioning time for HVAC systems. Application: Ideal for wall-mounted setups controlling fans, pumps and compressors in air handling units and chillers. Feature: Ultra-low harmonic performance THDi <3% improves power quality and compliance with low harmonic recommendations. Business Impact: Fewer compliance concerns, improved energy efficiency, and reduced PV & utility penalties on power systems. Application: Critical in large-scale HVAC installations with multiple drives. Feature: Output voltage boost and built-in power factor correction enhance motor performance and grid support. Business Impact: Higher usable motor torque at varying loads, reduced voltage drop, and improved overall system efficiency. Application: Fans and pumps with variable loads common in processing and manufacturing facilities. Feature: IP21 enclosure with wall-mount option and available IP55 and flange mounting. Business Impact: Flexible installation across clean rooms and harsher environments, fewer enclosure transitions. Application: HVAC equipment in restricted spaces, rooftop units, and industrial plants. Feature: Optional Bluetooth commissioning and HVAC-specific control panel assists remote setup and monitoring. Business Impact: Cuts on-site labor, accelerates deployment, and enables remote fault diagnosis. Application: New installations and retrofit projects where service access is limited.

FAQs
Yes. The ACH580-31-088A-4 is designed for wall-mounted installation, aligning with typical HVAC equipment layouts such as AHUs, chillers and fan motor assemblies. Its IP21 enclosure supports indoor use, and optional IP55 or flange mounting broadens applicability for tighter spaces or more rugged environments, reducing project rework and simplifying retrofits.
THDi under 3% delivers superior power quality, easing compliance with utility harmonic guidelines and reducing interference with other equipment. In large arrays of fans and pumps, this enables higher overall system efficiency, lowers energy waste, and minimizes the need for external harmonic mitigation devices, simplifying installation and lowering total cost of ownership.
Absolutely. The ACH580-31-088A-4 is tailored for HVAC applications such as air-handling units, chillers, fans and pumps. Its built-in control features, energy savings, and easy integration with Building Management Systems make it well suited for data centers, manufacturing plants, and other facilities requiring reliable, energy-efficient HVAC operation.
The drive supports UL-listed components and comes with an IP21 enclosure as standard, offering reliable indoor performance. Optional IP55 mounting expands protection for more exposed installations. These certifications and ratings help ensure compliance with safety standards while providing flexibility for installation in environments with higher dust or moisture exposure.
ROI stems from lower energy use due to improved PF correction and reduced THDi, coupled with shorter commissioning times thanks to built-in HVAC-specific controls and, optionally, Bluetooth for remote setup. In retrofit and new-build projects, this often translates to lower energy bills, reduced maintenance costs, and faster time-to-operation for critical HVAC systems.
