Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000284818 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. The built-in features significantly reduce installation time and the intuitive control panel with an HVAC-specific primary settings menu and help assistants makes startup, commissioning and operation easy. The optional Bluetooth=C2=AE capability enables the commissioning and monitoring of the drive from a distance. The ACH580-01 comes in IP21 enclosure and can be installed on the wall as standard. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Built-in control for fans, pumps and compressors reduces the need for external controllers and simplifies wiring. The result is faster installation, lower labor costs and fewer field failures during startup, particularly in AHUs, chillers and rooftop systems. The compact design also reduces panel footprint and cabling complexity, making retrofits easier. HVAC-specific primary settings menu with help assistants streamlines startup and commissioning, reducing training time and human error. Guided prompts and contextual wizards help ensure correct parameter selection, delivering consistent performance across multiple units. This translates to shorter project timelines and easier ongoing support for facilities teams. In addition, built-in diagnostics highlight misconfigurations before they become failures. Optional Bluetooth capability enables remote commissioning and monitoring, cutting on-site visits and enabling proactive maintenance. Remote access supports energy optimization, fault fast-tracking and improved regulatory reporting. For multi-site operators, this capability translates into measurable productivity gains. Secure pairing and role-based access ensure data integrity during remote sessions. IP21 enclosure with IP55 and flange-mount options offers installation flexibility and protection for varied environments. Wall-mounted configuration saves space and simplifies routing of power and controls, while flange and IP-rated variants support retrofits and harsher mechanical rooms. The combination reduces installation errors and makes field service more predictable. Energy-efficient speed control reduces fan and pump losses, delivering tangible energy savings and lower operating costs. When used with a modern BMS, it enables demand-based control and improved system responsiveness, improving overall facility performance. Compatibility with 230 V, 3 HP, and 10.6 A values supports scalable deployment across fleets of HVAC assets. The drive’s rugged design also helps minimize maintenance cycles in demanding environments. Compatibility and installation advantages include 230 V operation, 3 HP rating, 10.6 A draw, and straightforward integration with HVAC equipment, enabling scalable deployment across facilities with minimal spare parts and training.

FAQs
Begin with securing a clean, vibration-free wall and mounting the device in the IP21-rated enclosure. Connect the 230 V supply, ensure wiring complies with local electrical codes, and attach output leads to the controlled fans, pumps or compressors. Use the HVAC-specific settings to configure basic parameters, and verify motor direction and safe-stop functions before commissioning. Remote features, if enabled, can simplify post-commission checks.
Key specs include 3 HP rating, 230 V input, and a current draw of approximately 10.6 A. The drive is designed for LV HVAC applications and supports wall-mounted installation with an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available. It provides integrated control for fans, pumps and compressors, enabling smooth, variable-speed operation across HVAC equipment.
Yes. The ACH580-class HVAC drive offering built into the unit supports control of fans, pumps, compressors, and more complex equipment like air-handling units and chillers. Its built-in features reduce installation time, while the HVAC-specific settings menu ensures reliable startup, commissioning and ongoing operation for AHUs and chilled-water systems.
The drive is UL-listed for 3 HP at 230 V, indicating a recognized safety certification for electrical equipment. It is supplied in an IP21 enclosure by default, with IP55 and flange-mount options available for enhanced protection. While CE compliance is common for ABB HVAC drives, verify local regulatory requirements for your project to confirm additional certifications.
Expect reduced commissioning time due to HVAC-specific settings and built-in help, along with remote monitoring when Bluetooth is used. Energy-efficient operation lowers running costs, and fewer field visits lower maintenance expenses. For multi-site deployments, remote diagnostics and standardized configurations translate into measurable productivity improvements and faster payback on HVAC retrofit projects.
