Comfort requires efficientsystems to control heating, ventilation, and airconditioning (HVAC) to ensure the air we breathe is pureand the temperature is comfortable. We also need toensure air quality and safety in the most energy-efficientand cost-effective ways in both normal and missioncritical situations.For half a century, ABB has been leading the way inoptimizing HVAC systems using drive control to ensurethat you can take comfort for granted. The new ACH580series of variable frequency drives (VFDs) provides thequality, reliability, and energy savings you expect. Theyare easy to use and safe to maintain. All you need to do isto set the drive up, and then focus on what counts.

1-6A B B D R I V E S F O R H VA C A C H 5 8 0 1 – 7 0 0 H P—ACH580 ultra-low harmonic (ULH) driveWhat are harmonics?In an ideal case the current in an AC grid is a puresine wave and does not contain harmonics. Inreality the current deviates from this pure sinewave and contains harmonics. Harmonic current istypically measured as a percentage value, calledtotal harmonic distortion (THDi).—Harmonics can cause damage tosensitive electronic equipment,interference to communicationequipment, tripping of circuitbreakers, blowing of fuses, andcapacitor failures. The effects canalso include overheating of cablesand motors, overloading oftransformers, generator failure,and power factor capacitordamage.—01Diode supply—01—02Active supply—02Complete HVAC functionalityThe standard ACH580 ULH has an intuitive controlpanel used to configure, control, and monitor thedrive. An optional Bluetooth control panel allowsthe drive to be configured via the control panel orthe DriveTune app.A robust HVAC firmware package provides drive,motor, and application protection features.Application specific features, such as acceptingfour separate start interlocks (safeties), along withbroken belt detection, are also included. The driveincludes BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU, and JohnsonControls N2 as standard.Savings in total cost of ownershipInstallation costs are reduced with the simple threewires in and three wires out design. Maintenancecosts are lowered as compared to other harmonicmitigation solutions like passive filters, multipulse, and active filters. There are fewercomponents to maintain and stock as spares.Using the ACH580 ULH allows your engineer todesign your electrical system and backupgenerators to the right size and not oversizing forthe harmonics in the network.

A C H 5 8 0 U LT R A - LO W H A R M O N I C ( U L H ) D R I V EReliability for your buildingHarmonics in the network could cause problemswith other electrical equipment in the samenetwork. Worst case scenario, it may cause yoursensitive electrical equipment to fail.Harmonics can also cause problems in retrofitprojects. In such projects, a transformer might notbe able to meet the harmonic levels caused by nonlinear loads such as standard 6-pulse drives, sothere is a risk of overloading the transformer.In addition to the problems caused by harmonics, aweak electrical network can cause troubles to yourHVAC systems. Weak electrical networks that havesags on the line voltage may cause motors tooverheat, trip, or fail.The ACH580 ULH drive offers a reliable solution toovercome these challenges. It is able to lower theharmonic content so that sensitive equipmentstays running and transformers or generators don’tfail. In addition, the ACH580 ULH can boost outputvoltage so that the motor will always run withnominal voltage, despite the fluctuations in linevoltage.Optimized size and performanceACH580 ULH has all the harmonic mitigationtechnology in the drive. With a THDi of 3% or less,there is no need to install external components forreducing harmonics, this drive doesn’t create theharmonics to fix.1-7ACH580 ultra-low harmonic packaged drives withdisconnectThe ACH580 ultra-low harmonic (ULH) packageddrive is an ACH580 ULH variable frequency driveenclosed with either an input disconnect switchand fast acting fuses (ACH580-3PDR) or an inputcircuit breaker and fast acting fuses (ACH5803PCR).
