ABB 3AXD50001076412 Drive - Ultra-low harmonic THDi <3%
Part Number: 3AXD50001076412
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive is a wall-mounted HVAC solution that delivers ultra-low harmonic control for fans, pumps and compressors in commercial and industrial applications. Engineers often struggle with harmonics, energy waste, and space constraints during retrofit projects, making external filters and multi-pulse arrangements costly and space-inefficient. This ultra-low harmonic variant delivers THDi below 3%, UL-listed performance, IP21 enclosure standard, and offers IP55 and flange-mount options for flexible deployment. Built-in features, including an active supply unit and integrated low-harmonic line filter, translate to shorter installation times and simpler commissioning. The drive also provides output voltage boost and power factor correction, delivering tangible business value through improved efficiency and reduced lifecycle costs. Secondary benefits include remote commissioning via optional Bluetooth and easier integration with modern BMS ecosystems.

FAQs
The ACH580 HVAC drive is designed for HVAC systems such as fans, pumps, and compressors within air handling units and chillers. It operates at 230 V and is capable of handling up to 74.8 A for a 25 HP load, making it suitable for both new installations and retrofits in mid-size to large-scale HVAC applications.
A THDi below 3% significantly reduces harmonic distortion on the supply, improving power quality, reducing electrical stress on motors, and helping meet low-harmonic recommendations. This translates to longer motor life, fewer nuisance trips, and easier compliance with facility electrical standards in commercial and industrial HVAC projects.
Yes, the ACH580 is designed for wall-mounted installation with an IP21 standard enclosure. For more demanding environments, IP55 and flange-mount variants are available, offering enhanced protection and installation flexibility in mechanical rooms, rooftops, or compact plant layouts.
The ACH580 HVAC drive features UL-listed performance and standard IP21 protection, with optional IP55 and flange-mount configurations. These certifications and mounting options simplify regulatory compliance and enable versatile integration in new builds or retrofit projects across diverse HVAC environments.
By integrating a built-in low-harmonic filter and active supply unit, the drive reduces installation time and space needs, cutting upfront labor costs. The THDi reduction improves reliability and efficiency, lowering energy bills and maintenance intervals for HVAC equipment, resulting in a favorable return on investment (ROI) over equipment life cycles.
