The ACH550 range of AC Inverter drives from ABB provides customers with a quantum leap in simple installation, start-up and use.
With a control panel based on mobile-phone typology, the 1 to 500 Horsepower AC drives are extremely intuitive and simple to set up and include a full complement of features that make precise motor control across all commercial/HVAC applications far easier than ever before. In addition the development has been assisted by input from HVAC engineering professionals with up-to-date commercial awareness of building services methodology.

The introduction of a dedicated ABB drive for HVAC marks a significant milestone in the development of AC drives. Macros for the most common applications are built in to the new drive as standard. Selecting the application takes only seconds. The rest of the start-up is intuitive, with a user interface as simple to use as a mobile phone.
The drive is programmed with several HVAC applications, including supply and return fans, cooling tower fans, booster pumps and condensers. The intelligence within the assistant control panel means that the user is given direct and understandable instructions at all times.
Harmonics and RFI emissions are major concerns within many HVAC installations. The ABB drive for HVAC fulfils demanding requirements for electromagnetic compatibility. A patent pending, swinging DC choke cuts harmonics emissions efficiently.
The drive has two PID controllers built in. PID controllers can be used for example for pressure or flow control. One of the controllers can be used separately for numerous external process control purposes, like damper or valve controllers.
ABB has developed variable speed drives since 1969 and today is the global leader. The new ABB drive for HVAC is the result of 30 years of continuous product development.
