Key Features
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive series.
45 kW rated output power.
171 A nominal output current.
Three-phase 230 V AC input supply.
Dedicated HVAC control features and application macros.
Built-in communication support for building automation networks.
Energy optimisation functionality for fan and pump applications.
Wall-mounted enclosure for plant room and panel installations.
Efficient HVAC Motor Control
Variable frequency drives such as the ABB ACH580 regulate motor speed by adjusting output voltage and frequency. In HVAC systems, this allows fans and pumps to operate according to actual demand rather than running continuously at full speed, helping to reduce energy consumption and improve system efficiency.
The ACH580 series is designed for building services engineers, facilities teams and HVAC contractors. Its dedicated control functions support reliable operation in ventilation, heating, cooling and pumping systems while helping maintain comfortable indoor environments.
Typical Applications
Air handling units and ventilation fans.
Chilled water and heating pumps.
Cooling tower fans.
Booster pumps and circulation systems.
Commercial HVAC plant rooms.
Building management and automation systems.
