Part Number: 3AXD50000429073
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000429073 is an HVAC drive that optimizes fans, pumps, and compressors in building systems. Many facilities struggle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and lengthy commissioning when integrating legacy controls. This drive supports UL-listed configurations with an IP21 enclosure and optional IP55 mounting, delivering robust protection in demanding environments. By integrating a low-harmonic line filter, an active supply unit, and built-in PF correction, it reduces installation complexity and enables faster start-up. For engineering teams, the result is predictable energy savings, easier procurement, and simplified maintenance across retrofit projects and new installations in commercial HVAC applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000429073 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. This ultra-low variant provides ultimate harmonic performance, reaching even less than 3 % THDi, and exceeding the requirements set by low harmonic recommendations.
The drive includes an active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter, meaning there is no need for external filters, multi-pulse arrangements or special transformers. Other features include output voltage boost and power factor correction. The built-in features significantly reduce installation time, and the intuitive HVAC specific control panel and help assistants make operation easy. The optional Bluetooth=C2=AE capability enables the commissioning and monitoring of the drive from a distance. The variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Ultra-low harmonic performance with a built-in low-harmonic line filter is the core feature. The business impact is dramatically reduced THDi (<3%), simplifying compliance with utility harmonic limits and easing electrical cabinet design. This is particularly advantageous for HVAC fans, pumps, and compressors where harmonic distortion can derail controls and reduce motor efficiency. Active supply unit and built-in power factor correction optimize energy use and minimize external equipment needs. The business impact is higher efficiency, lower reactive power charges, and simpler integration with existing building management systems. In practice, this drives measurable cost savings for large air handling plants and chillers. Output voltage boost and integrated protection features streamline commissioning and startup. The business impact is faster time-to-value and fewer on-site adjustments, improving project timelines. Applications include variable-speed control for fans and pumps in energy-efficient HVAC systems, where precise torque and speed control matter. HVAC-oriented control panel, intuitive help assistants, and optional Bluetooth enable remote commissioning and monitoring. The business impact is reduced site visits, quicker troubleshooting, and better asset visibility. This supports remote facilities management and allows OEMs to deliver robust performance across multiple sites. Enclosure and mounting flexibility, standard IP21 with IP55 and flange mounting options, plus wall mounting, simplify installation in constrained mechanical spaces. The business impact is faster installation, fewer space constraints, and compatibility with retrofit scenarios in existing plants. The product accommodates 90 kW ratings at 400 V with 169 A and supports the ACH580 family ecosystem for scalable HVAC drive control.

FAQs
When retrofitting, verify 400 V supply compatibility and confirm enclosure suitability for the installation site. The device features an integrated low harmonic filter and PF correction to simplify electrical work and cabinet design, reducing the need for external harmonic mitigation components. Ensure mounting surface accommodates IP21 standard or opt for IP55 if exposed to harsher environments. Plan for remote commissioning if Bluetooth capability is selected to minimize现场 visits.
Key specs include a 90 kW power rating, 169 A current, and a THDi under 3%. The built-in PF correction and output voltage boost improve motor efficiency and reduce reactive power, lowering utility charges. These features translate to tangible energy savings for fans, pumps, and compressors within air handling units and chillers, especially during peak demand periods.
Yes. The drive is designed for HVAC applications such as fans, pumps, compressors, air handling units, and chillers. Its integrated low-harmonic filter and robust protection enable smooth operation in mission-critical HVAC environments, while the wall-mounted form factor supports space-constrained installations. The optional IP55 mounting further enhances suitability for more demanding mechanical spaces.
The 3AXD50000429073 series includes UL-related capabilities in the specified ACH580-31-169A-4 configuration and provides an IP21 standard enclosure, with an IP55 option available. While CE compliance is commonly expected for global products, this entry highlights UL-based performance and enclosure ratings, ensuring reliable operation in standard industrial environments and meeting core safety requirements.
ROI is driven by energy savings from PF correction and reduced harmonic distortion, plus faster commissioning thanks to built-in features. Maintenance improves due to fewer external filters and simpler diagnostics via the HVAC-optimized control panel and optional Bluetooth monitoring. In retrofit programs and multi-site deployments, the result is lower lifecycle costs and more predictable asset performance.
