ABB ACH580-31-088A-4+B056 HVAC Drive - THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AXD50000046647
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 HVAC drive controls fans, pumps, and compressors in HVAC systems with ultra-low harmonic performance. Harmonics from traditional drives can cause overheating, efficiency loss, and costly maintenance in critical air handling and comfort systems. CE certified, IP21 enclosure standard, with IP55 and flange mounting variants, provides reliable compliance for building services. Built-in active supply unit and integrated low harmonic filter reduce installation complexity and negate the need for external filters, while power factor correction boosts overall efficiency. Combined with HVAC-specific controls and optional Bluetooth for remote commissioning, it supports energy-efficient operation and predictable performance across facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000046647 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.

FAQs
The ACH580 is designed for wall mounting with a compact footprint. Install it in a dry, accessible mechanical room or equipment closet. Connect the drive to the supply and the controlled loads (fans, pumps, compressors) using standard wiring practices for LV drives. The built-in active supply unit and integrated low harmonic filter simplify wiring by eliminating external filters and transformers. Ensure the enclosure IP21 is appropriate for the site, and consider IP55 or flange mounting for harsher environments if required.
The ACH580 delivers ultra-low harmonic distortion with THDi below 3%, which reduces electrical noise, minimizes transformer loading, and lowers overheating risk in motors. This improves motor efficiency, extends bearing life, and helps you meet power quality standards in commercial and industrial HVAC installations. The integrated filter further simplifies compliance by delivering cleaner current without extra components.
Yes. The ACH580 is purpose-built for HVAC applications, including air handling units, chillers, and pumps or fans in AHUs and VAV systems. Its HVAC-specific control panel and built-in energy features support stable operation under varying load conditions, while its compact, wall-mounted form factor facilitates retrofits and new builds in mechanical rooms with limited space.
The ACH580 is CE certified and shipped with an IP21 enclosure as standard, ensuring safe operation in typical indoor mechanical rooms. Optional IP55 and flange-mount variants are available for harsher environments or different installation constraints. These certifications and ratings support regulatory compliance and safer, more reliable operation in commercial facilities.
With an integrated low harmonic filter and an active supply unit, the ACH580 reduces maintenance needs by eliminating external filtering hardware and transformer arrangements. Power factor correction and voltage boosting contribute to energy savings, while the HVAC-specific interface shortens commissioning time and lowers on-site labor. Remote commissioning via Bluetooth further reduces site visits and accelerates ROI for project timelines.
