Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000507542 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.
The ultra-low harmonic architecture combines an active supply unit with an integrated low harmonic line filter, delivering THDi below 3%. This directly reduces harmonic distortion at the source, minimizing extra cooling, wiring, and transformer sizing while improving energy efficiency in HVAC fans and pumps. In practice, this means fewer external components and simpler installation in mechanical rooms. Output voltage boost and power factor correction are built-in, improving voltage stability and reducing the burden on upstream transformers and feeders, which lowers installation cost and enhances performance in large air-handling units and chillers. The HVAC-specific control panel and help assistants accelerate commissioning and reduce operator training time, translating to shorter downtime during new installs and retrofits. Optional Bluetooth enables remote commissioning and monitoring, cutting site visits and enabling proactive maintenance. IP21 enclosure with wall-mount compatibility, plus IP55 and flange options, offers installation flexibility in tight mechanical spaces and varying building codes. Overall, the integration supports energy efficiency, equipment protection, and lifecycle cost reduction in commercial and industrial buildings.
