ABB 3AXD50000429561 ACH580 HVAC Drive - Ultra-low THDi
Part Number: 3AXD50000429561
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC Drive is a LV AC controller that optimizes fans, pumps and compressors in HVAC systems. Many projects struggle with harmonic distortion, lengthy commissioning, and limited remote monitoring, which raise energy costs and downtime. CE certification with IP21 enclosure and optional IP55/flange mounting provide safety and reliability for varied environments. By integrating an active supply unit and low-harmonic filter, it reduces installation complexity and enables HVAC-focused control, while Bluetooth commissioning supports remote monitoring for building automation initiatives. This combination translates into measurable savings, simplified maintenance, and scalable operation across facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000429561 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.
Feature: Ultra-low harmonic architecture with a built-in active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter. This reduces THDi to less than 3%, lowering harmonic distortion and avoiding the need for external filters. Application: ideal for HVAC drives powering fans, pumps, and compressors in commercial and industrial buildings. Feature: Energy-efficient control with output voltage boost and power factor correction. Business impact: improved overall efficiency, lower energy bills, and better electrical supply performance. Application: retrofit projects and new installations with variable HVAC loads. Feature: Fast installation and easy commissioning through an HVAC-specific control panel and help assistants, with optional Bluetooth for remote setup. Business impact: shorter project timelines, reduced commissioning labor, and fewer on-site errors. Application: building automation integrations and facilities with limited commissioning resources. Feature: Flexible protection and mounting options, including IP21 standard housing with wall-mount capability and optional IP55 or flange mounting. Business impact: adaptable deployment in mechanical rooms or rooftop units, reduced enclosure costs, and easier service access. Application: HVAC equipment rooms and outdoor installations requiring robust protection. Feature: Broad compatibility for fans, pumps, and compressors with built-in control logic and monitoring, enabling reliable operation under mission-critical loads. Business impact: simplified control architectures, improved reliability, and easier integration with BMS. Application: AHUs, chillers, and central plant installs.
