This drive supports UL-rated variants and IP-rated enclosures, with IP21 as standard and IP55 options for harsher environments. By integrating advanced filtering and control features, it reduces installation complexity, improves energy performance, and lowers total cost of ownership, while enabling seamless commissioning and remote monitoring as needed.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000507405 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 → Business Impact → Application: The ultra-low THDi of less than 3% is achieved with a built-in active supply unit and an integrated low harmonic line filter, eliminating the need for external filters and specialized transformers. This reduces installation time, minimizes power quality concerns, and enhances overall energy efficiency in HVAC systems such as air handling units and chillers. Application-wise, contractors can deploy the drive with confidence in demanding commercial and industrial buildings where harmonic integrity is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Output voltage boost and power factor correction improve voltage quality and reduce input current, delivering better motor efficiency and smaller wiring losses. In practice, this translates to more stable operation of fans, pumps, and compressors and lower utility costs in large-scale HVAC installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in HVAC-specific control panel and help assistants streamline commissioning and ongoing operation, reducing commissioning time by enabling intuitive setup and troubleshooting for engineers. This is particularly valuable for multi-suite buildings and data centers where quick ramp-up matters. Feature → Business Impact → Application: IP21 standard enclosure with wall-mount design and optional IP55 or flange mounting offers flexible installation and protection in variable environments. This supports retrofit projects and new builds where space constraints or environmental exposure demand adaptable mounting. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Optional Bluetooth capability enables remote commissioning and monitoring, limiting on-site visits and accelerating fault diagnosis. In practice, maintenance teams in hospitals and manufacturing facilities can rapidly adjust parameters and verify performance without downtime.

FAQs
For reliable installation, ensure a proper wall-mount location with adequate clearance for cooling and wiring. Use the built-in IP21 enclosure as standard and plan for the 460 V supply, 180 A current, and 150 HP capability. The drive’s integrated low harmonic filter reduces external hardware, while the selectable IP55 option supports harsher environments. Verify compatible wiring sizes and electrical protection, and consider Bluetooth-enabled commissioning if remote setup is planned.
Ultra-low THDi (<3%) minimizes harmonic disturbances on the facility electrical network, reducing losses, overheating, and potential capacitor bank requirements. This translates to steadier motor operation for fans and pumps, lower energy consumption, and improved equipment life. The built-in filter and active supply unit simplify compliance with power quality standards while supporting peak-demand management in large HVAC installations.
Yes. The ACH580-based 3AXD50000507405 variant is specifically designed for HVAC tasks, including fans, pumps, and air handling units. With 460 V operation, 180 A current, and a 150 HP rating, it delivers precise speed control and energy savings. The integrated features reduce wiring and installation complexity, while the HVAC-specific control panel supports straightforward commissioning and reliable operation.
The drive supports IP21 standard enclosure with IP55 and flange mounting options for broader environmental applicability. It also aligns with UL-based performance expectations in the ACH580-31-180A-4 variant, providing a UL-related performance reference. While IP ratings address environmental protection, confirm specific regional certification requirements during procurement to ensure full regulatory compliance for your project.
Bluetooth-enabled commissioning allows remote setup, diagnostics, and monitoring, reducing on-site visits and associated downtime. This accelerates startup, enables faster tuning of HVAC controllers, and supports proactive maintenance by flagging parameter drift. Over time, the ability to optimize fan and pump curves remotely can yield measurable energy savings, lower maintenance costs, and a faster payback on retrofit projects.
