Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001011208 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 → Ultra-low harmonic performance with integrated low harmonic filter reduces THDi to less than 3%, delivering smoother power delivery and compliance with power quality guidelines. Business Impact → Less electrical stress on feeders, fewer external filters, and lower total installed cost. Application → Ideal for variable-speed control of fans, pumps, and compressors in AHUs and chillers. Feature → Built-in active supply unit and integrated line filter simplify installation by eliminating multi-pulse arrangements or external filters. Business Impact → Faster commissioning, reduced wiring, and improved reliability. Application → Suitable for wall-mounted HVAC drives in compact retrofit projects. Feature → Output voltage boost and power factor correction improve energy efficiency and voltage stability. Business Impact → Lower utility charges and better motor performance across load profiles.

FAQs
This ABB HVAC drive is designed for wall-mounted installation and ships in an IP21 enclosure as standard. Optional IP55 enclosures and flange mounting variants are available to suit higher protection requirements or constrained mechanical rooms, enabling flexible retrofits and new builds while maintaining safe, compliant operation in controlled environments.
The drive delivers THDi below 3%, thanks to its built-in low harmonic filter and active supply unit. This reduces line distortion, improves power factor, and lowers the need for external harmonic mitigation, contributing to energy savings, smoother motor operation, and compliance with power quality standards in modern buildings.
Yes. The ACH580-31-024A-2 is engineered for HVAC applications, including fans, pumps, compressors, air-handling units, and chillers. Its compact, wall-mounted form and built-in controls support precise speed regulation, improving temperature control, system efficiency, and lifecycle performance across varied HVAC loads.
Key considerations include CE marking for Europe and IP ratings for enclosure protection. The standard IP21 enclosure with optional IP55 variants covers typical indoor installations, while flange mounting options extend protection for more demanding environments. These certifications help meet regulatory requirements and simplify acceptance tests during audits.
Expect reduced maintenance due to integrated features that minimize external components, faster commissioning with HVAC-specific controls and Bluetooth, and lower energy costs from reduced THDi and improved PF. Over the life of the installation, these factors contribute to a favorable ROI through energy savings, reduced wiring complexity, and simpler serviceability.
