ABB ACH580-31-073A-4 HVAC Drive - Ultra-Low Harmonics
Part Number: 3AXD50000047700
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580-31-073A-4 HVAC drive is a wall-mounted LV drive for energy-efficient HVAC fans, pumps, and compressors. Too many HVAC installations battle harmonic distortion, external filter clutter, and long commissioning cycles that erode uptime and drive costs. This model delivers UL-listed safety with a 50 Hp rating at 480 V and IP21 enclosure, with optional IP55 and flange mounting for tougher environments. Built-in features such as a low harmonic line filter, output voltage boost, and power factor correction streamline start-up and system regulation. The optional Bluetooth capability supports remote commissioning and monitoring, while the intuitive HVAC-specific control panel reduces operator training time and helps ensure stable operation in mission-critical applications. In practice, this translates to lower total cost of ownership and more reliable building performance.

FAQs
For best results, plan a wall-mounted installation using the IP21 enclosure as standard, ensuring access to the HVAC-specific control panel. The drive includes an integrated low harmonic line filter and an active supply unit, reducing the need for external components. Use the 400 V supply with a 37 kW rating and 73 A current, with optional IP55 or flange mounting for tougher environments.
THDi below 3% significantly improves power quality, reduces electrical stress on upstream equipment, and lowers the risk of nuisance trips. The built-in filtering eliminates the need for external filters or multi-pulse transformers, cutting installation complexity and costs. This is especially valuable in large air handling units, chillers, and variable-air-volume systems.
Yes. The standard IP21 enclosure supports wall mounting in typical indoor mechanical rooms. IP55 and flange-mount options extend compatibility to harsher environments. Its HVAC-focused control panel and compact footprint simplify retrofits in rooftop units, mechanical rooms, or compact plant spaces while maintaining reliable operation.
This model is UL-listed for safety with a 50 Hp rating at 480 V and uses an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 optional. Its architecture supports low-harmonic operation and reduces external components, aiding regulatory compliance and smoother approvals in modern HVAC modernization projects.
By eliminating external filters, reducing harmonic distortion, and enabling built-in power factor correction, the drive lowers energy consumption and maintenance costs. The integrated features shorten commissioning time, while optional Bluetooth enables remote monitoring, reducing site visits. For multi-branch HVAC systems, this typically yields faster payback and improved system reliability.
