FAQs
Yes. The ACH580-31-039A-4 is designed for wall-mounted installation with an IP21 standard enclosure, and IP55 options available. It includes an integrated low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, reducing the need for external filters and complex wiring. Wiring should follow ABB installation guidelines and consider short, shielded runs to minimize EMI, with appropriate disconnects and protective measures for HVAC environments.
The drive delivers THDi below 3%, thanks to its built-in low harmonic filter and active supply unit. This improves voltage quality delivered to motors, reduces stray harmonics, and minimizes nuisance electromagnetic interference. The result is smoother motor operation, lower heat losses, extended motor life, and measurable energy savings in air handling, pumping and refrigerant systems.
Fans, pumps and compressors are primary beneficiaries, along with air-handling units and chillers. The drive’s built-in protections and energy-saving features enable precise speed control, soft-start behavior, and reliable operation under mission-critical demand, making it well-suited for commercial buildings, data centers, hospitals, and industrial HVAC plants where harmonic compliance and reliability matter.
The ACH580-31-039A-4 is UL-listed for safety. It is supplied with an IP21 enclosure as standard and offers IP55 and flange mounting options for enhanced protection. While CE conformity is typically implied for ABB drives, ensure your regional documentation aligns with local electrical standards and building codes. This combination supports compliance in most commercial HVAC installations.
Expect reduced maintenance due to integrated filters and a robust active supply unit, along with easier commissioning via optional Bluetooth. ROI comes from energy savings through improved motor efficiency and harmonic suppression, shorter installation times, and lower total cost of ownership thanks to simplified wiring and fewer external components in HVAC systems.
