ABB 3AXD50001011222 Drive - Ultra-low Harmonic THDi<3%
Part Number: 3AXD50001011222
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50001011222 Drive is a wall-mounted ultra-low harmonic HVAC drive designed to optimize control of fans, pumps and compressors in commercial HVAC systems. Facilities often struggle with harmonics, energy waste, and lengthy commissioning. This solution reduces harmonic distortion and simplifies installation with built-in features. It supports UL performance and IP21 enclosure as standard, with IP55 options for harsher environments. By integrating an active supply unit and low harmonic line filter, it speeds up setup and minimizes external components. The result is improved energy efficiency, easier maintenance, and reliable operation in demanding environments, while enabling remote commissioning when Bluetooth capability is enabled. This combination lowers total cost of ownership for HVAC projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AXD50001011222 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.
Ultra-low harmonic performance is achieved with THDi under 3%. This reduces second-order harmonics on the facility’s electrical network, improving power quality and easing compliance with utility requirements. In HVAC applications, this means less additional equipment and smaller feeders when driving fans, pumps, and compressors.\n\nBuilt-in active supply unit and integrated low harmonic line filter simplify installation by removing the need for external filters or multi-pulse arrangements. The business impact is faster commissioning, lower capital expenditure, and reduced maintenance for long-term reliability. In practice, contractors can deploy the drive directly on-wall in HVAC rooms without extra components, accelerating project timelines.\n\nOutput voltage boost and power factor correction help maintain motor performance under varying loads. The result is improved efficiency, reduced current draw, and better stability in variable-frequency operation across fans, pumps, and chillers.\n\nIP21 enclosure as standard with wall-mount installation, with IP55 and flange-mount options for harsher environments. This enables compact, space-saving installations in equipment rooms and rooftop units, while maintaining protection class.\n\nOptional Bluetooth connectivity enables commissioning and monitoring from a distance, reducing on-site visits and accelerating start-up. Combined with a HVAC-specific control panel and help assistants, operators gain intuitive control, fewer misconfigurations, and quicker fault isolation.\n\nCompatibility with ABB ACH580 feature set and HVAC controls ensures seamless integration with existing systems, reducing integration risk. Customers realize lower total cost of ownership through energy savings, fewer spare parts, and shorter project cycles due to built-in capabilities.

FAQs
Plan for a suitable mounting location with adequate ventilation and an ambient temperature within the device’s specifications. The drive is wall-mounted as standard and supports a 230 V supply up to 143 A with a 50 HP rating. Utilize the integrated low harmonic line filter to reduce external hardware, and consider IP55 enclosure if the equipment will be exposed to harsher environments. If remote commissioning is needed, enable Bluetooth when available.
THDi below 3 percent indicates ultra-low harmonic distortion, which improves power quality, reduces heating in electrical components, and simplifies utility and grid-code compliance. This translates to smaller feeders, lower transformer loading, and fewer harmonic mitigation devices, contributing to overall energy efficiency in HVAC drive applications.
Yes. The ABB 3AXD50001011222 Drive is designed for HVAC equipment such as air handling units, fans, pumps, and compressors, including chillers. Its built-in features minimize installation time, while the ultra-low harmonic performance ensures reliable operation and energy efficiency across varying load conditions.
The standard enclosure is IP21 with wall-mount installation, while IP55 options are available for harsher environments or outdoor installations. Choose IP55 when equipment exposure to dust, moisture, or washdown is likely, to maintain protection and reliability.
The integrated design reduces external filter costs and simplifies installation, shortening project timelines. Energy savings from improved efficiency and reduced harmonic distortion lower operating costs, while the built-in features translate to lower maintenance requirements and fewer spare parts over the drive’s lifetime.
