Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50000956708 ABB: The ACH180 HVACR compact drive modules provide the quality, reliability, and energy savings you expect, while offering essential HVACR features, being compact and easy to fit tight spaces. They are simple to use and safe to maintain. All you need to do is to set the drive up, and then focus on what counts. Everything you need, nothing you don't.
Compact form factor enables installation in tight spaces, reducing panel depth and allowing closer equipment placement. This directly lowers enclosure costs and lowers wiring complexity, enabling faster commissioning for HVAC projects and retrofits. The 2.2 kW rating with 230 V input and a 9.8 A draw provides precise motor control for fans and pumps, delivering improved process stability and energy efficiency in air handling units and rooftop units. UL-listed safety for HVACR drive modules strengthens regulatory compliance, reducing risk during audits and plant inspections. The module’s design emphasizes a straightforward setup and safe maintenance, echoing ABB’s promise of “Everything you need, nothing you don’t,” which shortens installation time and minimizes field troubleshooting. Compatibility with existing ABB HVACR drives and control architectures supports scalable deployment, while compact wiring and plug-in components cut installation costs. Real-world HVAC applications benefit from smoother motor starts, lower peak power draw, and extended equipment life, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and improved system reliability. Industry professionals appreciate the robust protection features and the ability to tailor acceleration and deceleration profiles to match cooling and ventilation cycles, ensuring compliant operation under varying load conditions. Overall, this drive module balances performance, footprint, and serviceability for mission-critical HVAC infrastructure planning and execution, making it a compelling choice for energy-conscious facilities.

FAQs
Begin with de-energizing the panel, mount the drive in the designated enclosure, and follow the wiring diagram to connect L, N, and ground, plus the motor leads. Use the compact form factor to minimize panel depth, route conductors neatly, and utilize predefined ABB configuration parameters to accelerate commissioning while maintaining safe clearances.
The device is rated at 2.2 kW with a 9.8 A current draw at 230 V input. For motor protection and performance, note the UL listing for HVACR use (Pld 2.0+ Hp, 9.6 A, 208 V). Choose wiring that supports the 230 V supply and ensure proper overcurrent protection and grounding per local codes.
Yes. The 2.2 kW, 230 V LV AC drive is well suited for HVAC fans and pumps in rooftop units, offering precise speed control, energy savings, and a compact footprint that fits restricted spaces typical of rooftop installations. It also enables smooth starts and stops to reduce mechanical stress on bearings and belts.
The module carries UL-listed HVACR safety certification, which supports compliance in many markets. CE and IP ratings are common for ABB products, but you should verify regional certification requirements with ABB or your distributor to ensure full regulatory alignment for your plant location and application.
Expect lower energy consumption from optimized motor control, reduced wear due to soft-start functionality, and easier maintenance from a compact, serviceable design. The space savings also lowers enclosure and wiring costs, while simple setup speeds commissioning, all contributing to a shorter payback period for HVAC retrofit projects.
