ABB ACH580-01-206A-4 HVAC AC Drive 110 kW 206 A

ACH580-01-206A-4: 206 A of fan and pump control for buildings

Rated 110 kW with 206 A of nominal output current, the ACH580-01-206A-4 belongs to ABB’s ACH580-01 range, the wall-mounted HVAC line with BACnet MS/TP, Modbus RTU and N2 built in. It occupies frame R7. At 110 kW it covers heavy plant fans and pumps on frame R7. ABB positions the family for fans, pumps and also for basic constant-torque duties such as compressors.

Functions that building automation asks for come with the drive, for example motor preheating, an energy optimiser with kWh counters, stall and overload protection and Drivetune smartphone commissioning with the Bluetooth panel. Other sizes are listed in AC drives, and the related general-purpose family is on the ABB ACS580 drive page.

Technical specifications

Sizing the ACH580-01-206A-4 against the motor

Start from 196 A: this is the continuous light-duty current at 400 V, enough for a 110 kW fan or pump motor, with 110% for one minute (about 215.6 A, derived). If the motor is wound for 460 V or 480 V, read the 180 A, 150 hp column instead. The nominal 206 A figure is for loads without any overload demand.

Mounting data for frame R7: the standard IP21 unit is 284 mm wide and 370 mm deep, 880 mm high with the gland box or 600 mm without, and weighs 54 kg. Order the IP55 variant and the body grows to 880 x 284 x 381 mm and 56 kg. The catalogue lists no switch or C1 variant for frames above R5.

Motor pairing from the catalogue: the ACH580-01-206A-4 is listed with 75 kW M3BL280SMA4 at 1500 rpm (173 A nominal, motor efficiency 96.0%, package efficiency 93.6%); 90 kW M3BL280SMB4 at 1500 rpm (202 A nominal, motor efficiency 96.1%, package efficiency 93.7%) in the IE4 synchronous reluctance (SynRM) selection guide. The efficiency figures are ABB’s calculated drive-plus-motor values and do not promise the same result with a different motor.

Decoding the ordering code

Read ACH580-01-206A-4 in four parts: ACH580 is the series, 01 the wall-mounted construction, 206A the rating and 4 the 380 to 480 V class. Plus codes from the catalogue then add features, for example +F316 for the disconnect switch plus a C1 filter, +C135 for flange mounting, +L501 for the CMOD-01 relay and 24 V module and +L523 for CMOD-02 with an isolated PTC interface.

Network options are ordered with +K codes. Examples from the table are CANopen via FCAN-01 (+K457), LonWorks via FLON-01 (+K452) and ControlNet via FCNA-01 (+K462); the standard protocols stay available regardless.

On board you get an operating range of -15 to +50 degrees C, 5 to 95% relative humidity without condensation, altitude derating of 1% per 100 m between 1000 and 4000 m, coated circuit boards and a DC choke built to IEC 61000-3-12.
