The ABB ACH580-01-017A-2 is a 3-phase, 208–240 VAC variable frequency drive (VFD) rated for 16.7 Amps continuous output (5 HP Normal Duty / 3 HP Heavy Duty) from ABB’s dedicated ACH580 HVAC drive series. Housed in a compact R1 frame wall-mountable enclosure (UL Type 1 / IP21), this drive delivers precise motor speed control, energy efficiency, and operational reliability for low-voltage HVAC air handling fans, pumps, and compressors. Equipped with an intuitive Hand-Off-Auto (HOA) assistant control panel, integrated variable swing choke for line harmonic reduction, dual-channel Safe Torque Off (STO), and embedded building automation protocols (BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU, JCI N2), the ACH580-01-017A-2 simplifies installation and optimizes building control automation.
