FAQs
Install the ACH580 in an appropriately rated cabinet with proper clearances for cooling and service access. Ensure wiring meets IEC/UL standards for 400 V systems, torque all terminals to the manufacturer’s specs, and connect protective earth correctly. Use the HVAC-specific settings menu to configure motor parameters and enable built-in protections. For retrofit projects, verify compatibility with existing ABB controls and verify that the IP00 enclosure is suitable for the cabinet environment.
In IEC terms, the drive supports PN 250 kW with approximately 505 A at 400 V. In UL terms, the drive lists around 400 Hp with 483 A at 480 V. These figures guide motor selection, cable sizing, and protective device ratings. When designing the system, ensure the motor and power wiring match these ratings and use the appropriate enclosure configuration (IP00 standard, IP20 option if required for cabinet installations).
Yes. The ACH580 HVAC drive is purpose-built for HVAC systems, delivering precise speed control for fans, pumps, and compressors found in air-handling units and chillers. Its HVAC-oriented settings menu simplifies configuration for common equipment like AHUs and chillers, while built-in energy-management features support continuous operations and demand-side controls in commercial buildings.
The ACH580 HVAC drive is UL-listed and CE-compliant, addressing both safety and regulatory requirements for global deployments. It is delivered with an IP00 enclosure as standard, with an IP20 option for cabinet installations, which helps meet varying protection and installation standards across facilities and regions.
Deploying the ACH580 can reduce commissioning time and enable more efficient HVAC operation, leading to lower energy costs and reduced maintenance visits. The integrated diagnostics and ABB ecosystem compatibility support predictive maintenance and seamless upgrades, delivering faster payback in large facilities with multiple AHUs, pumps, and chillers.
