FAQs
The ACH480 is a cabinet-optimized LV AC drive designed for HVAC equipment such as fans and pumps. It wires into standard panel architectures with compact footprint, uses HVAC-specific primary settings, and integrates with existing ABB or third-party motor controls. This simplifies panel design, reduces wiring complexity, and accelerates commissioning by providing clear startup guidance and built-in diagnostics.
Key specifications include a 4 kW power rating, 17.5 A current, and a 200 V input. This combination supports standard fan and pump applications in HVAC systems, enabling smooth speed control and reliable performance in both normal and mission-critical environments. The module is designed to fit cabinet-based installations with straightforward wiring and control integration.
Yes. The ACH480 drive is explicitly built to control HVAC equipment such as fans, pumps, and compressors in air-handling units and other commercial installations. Its HVAC-focused features, intuitive control panel, and the option for Bluetooth-enabled commissioning make it well-suited for AHUs in offices, hospitals, and data centers while delivering energy-efficient performance.
HVAC drives from ABB typically conform to CE safety and electromagnetic compatibility requirements, with robust enclosure protection appropriate for panel installations. In practice, many installations also require IP-rated enclosures and considerations for SIL capabilities where safety-related functions are involved. Check your regional regulations and customer specifications to confirm the exact certification set for your project.
ROI benefits arise from reduced commissioning time, lower energy consumption through precise motor control, and extended equipment life due to smoother operation. Maintenance is simplified by built-in diagnostics and intuitive settings, decreasing field service time. Remote commissioning with Bluetooth further lowers on-site visits, delivering faster deployments and ongoing operational visibility.
