In practice, building owners experience lower energy costs and teams gain faster, more predictable operations across fans, pumps, and air-handling units.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000284979 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 HVAC control and ACH580-01-022A-6 HVAC menus speed up commissioning for fans, pumps, and compressors. By centralizing power, speed, and protection functions, it reduces field wiring, steps, and potential misconfigurations, cutting on-site time by days on large retrofits. The approach is ideal for air handling units, rooftop units, variable-air-volume systems, and modular HVAC circuits where consistent performance and rapid ramping are crucial, even under mission-critical conditions. Wall-mounted form factor minimizes cabinet footprint and simplifies retrofits; the standard IP21 enclosure supports easy mounting on walls near equipment, while optional IP55 and flange-mount variants expand installation options in dusty or humid environments. Its 22 A at 575 V capability supports common HVAC loads up to 20 HP, enabling compact, cost-efficient wiring. The design reduces panel space, wiring, and cooling requirements across new builds and upgrades. Energy efficiency is realized through precise motor control and torque management, enabling variable-speed operation for fans and pumps under varying loads. For facilities with fluctuating cooling and ventilation demands, this translates into measurable energy savings, reduced peak demand, faster payback, and lower maintenance costs due to smoother start/stop sequences and fewer motor stress events. Bluetooth capability enables remote commissioning, configuration, and monitoring, reducing site visits and accelerating fault diagnosis across multi-site installations. Operators can verify setpoints, monitor current and voltage, and adjust parameters from the control room or service hub, enhancing uptime and enabling proactive maintenance programs without compromising system security. Compatibility and compliance are reinforced by UL listing, CE marking, and the ability to integrate with building-management systems and HVAC controls. With IP21 standard and IP55 option, the ABB drive aligns with typical plant electrical standards, supports standard wiring practices, and simplifies retrofits. Lifecycle support, serviceability, and access to spare parts further reduce total cost of ownership.
