Many facilities struggle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and maintenance costs from legacy drives; this solution targets those pain points with an integrated low-harmonic filter and active supply unit. The product uses IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available, and emphasizes compliance with low-harmonic performance targets. Built-in features simplify installation and commissioning, while an HVAC-specific control panel and optional Bluetooth enable remote setup and monitoring for faster project delivery. These capabilities translate to lower lifecycle costs and improved system reliability for HVAC projects in commercial and industrial facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000429585 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 THDi performance directly reduces electrical distortion and compliance risk, improving feeder capacity and reducing penalties on power networks. Business impact: smoother operation, fewer nuisance trips, and extended motor life in air handling units and large HVAC loads. Application: fans, pumps, chillers, and compressors in commercial buildings and data centers. The drive's built-in active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter remove the need for external filters or complex multi-pulse configurations, cutting installation time and cost. Application: retrofit projects and new builds seeking compact, cost-efficient harmonic management. Output voltage boost and power factor correction improve motor efficiency and grid interaction, supporting energy savings and lower utility charges in high-demand HVAC installations. Application: variable-torque loads and systems with stringent PF requirements. IP21 enclosure is standard for wall mounting, with IP55 and flange-mount variants available, enabling flexible placement in mechanical rooms or behind equipment. Application: space-constrained installations. HVAC-specific control panel and help assistants streamline commissioning and operation, reducing commissioning time and training needs. Application: rapid project handover and consistent performance. Optional Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring, supporting service teams at remote sites or dark factories. Application: remote diagnostics and scheduled maintenance. By combining these features, the drive delivers measurable ROI through energy savings, reduced maintenance, and faster deployment in both new construction and modernization programs.

FAQs
The drive is supplied in a standard wall-mount IP21 enclosure, designed for easy installation in mechanical rooms or equipment closets. For more demanding sites, IP55 and flange-mount variants are available, offering greater protection and installation flexibility in environments with higher humidity or vibration. This broad mounting choice helps optimize space and reduces layout constraints on HVAC projects.
THDi <3% indicates very low harmonic distortion current, which minimizes distortion on the electrical supply and reduces stress on transformers, switches, and feeders. This improves power quality, lowers energy penalties, and enables more stable operation of fans, pumps, and compressors, especially in systems with multiple drives or critical load profiles.
Yes, Bluetooth commissioning is optional. It enables remote setup, monitoring, and diagnostics without现场 service visits, speeding up commissioning and ongoing maintenance. For sites with limited access or multiple equipment rooms, Bluetooth reduces travel time, enables quicker parameter optimization, and supports proactive maintenance through remote health checks.
The ACH580-based drive excels in HVAC applications such as supply and exhaust fans, cooling tower fans, condenser and chiller pumps, and air handling units. Its ultra-low harmonic design, integrated PF correction, and control panel tailored for HVAC workflows help optimize energy use, reduce vibration, and improve overall system reliability in commercial, industrial, and data center environments.
Compared with legacy drives, this solution reduces external components (filters and transformers), shortens installation time, and lowers maintenance labor due to built-in features and an HVAC-specific control interface. The result is lower upfront costs, faster project delivery, and ongoing energy savings from improved PF and harmonic management over the system’s life.
