ACH580-31-046A-4 ABB 22kW Three Phase ABB ACH580 Variable Speed Drive

Why Choose the ABB ACH580-31-046A-4 Ultra-Low Harmonic HVAC Drive?

The ABB ACH580-31-046A-4 (Product ID: 3AXD50000042305) is an advanced AC variable frequency drive (VFD) designed specifically for heating, ventilation and air-conditioning applications where both energy efficiency and power quality are critical. As part of the specialised ABB ACH580 ultra-low harmonic HVAC drive series, this model delivers precise motor control while significantly reducing harmonic distortion in electrical networks.

Unlike conventional drives, the ACH580-31 integrates an active supply unit and low harmonic line filter within the drive itself. This design achieves less than 3% total harmonic distortion (THDi), helping installations comply with power quality standards without requiring external harmonic filters or complex transformer arrangements. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The drive provides a rated motor output power of 22 kW and a nominal output current of 45 A, operating from a three-phase 380–480 V AC supply. Its wall-mounted industrial design with integrated HVAC functionality makes it ideal for controlling fans, pumps, air-handling units and chiller systems in large commercial and industrial buildings. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
