FAQs
This ABB LV AC drive comes with a standard IP21 enclosure suitable for wall mounting, and optional IP55 or flange mounting configurations are available for harsher environments or restricted spaces. The mounting flexibility simplifies installation in both new builds and retrofits, reducing cabling and improving service access while maintaining safety compliance.
THDi below 3 percent means significantly lower harmonic distortion, which reduces stray heating, improves motor efficiency, and minimizes voltage distortion. For HVAC systems, this translates into lower energy waste, cooler cabinets, longer motor life, and fewer electrical disturbances that can affect control accuracy and system reliability.
Yes. The ACH580-based architecture with ultra-low harmonic performance is designed to control fans, pumps, and compressors, including air-handling units and chillers. Its integrated control features, compact footprint, and wall-mount compatibility make it a strong fit for HVAC OEMs and retrofit projects seeking precise speed control and energy savings.
The drive provides an IP21 enclosure standard with IP55 and flange mounting options available, supporting safe installation in typical HVAC environments. Its built-in low harmonic filter and active supply unit help meet harmonic mitigation goals, simplifying compliance with lower THDi requirements and influencing overall electrical system integrity.
Adopting this drive typically yields faster commissioning due to built-in HVAC features and reduced need for external harmonic filters, cutting on-site labor and wiring. The improved power quality and longer motor life contribute to lower maintenance costs and energy savings, delivering a favorable payback period in mission-critical HVAC applications.
