ACH 180

Essential and reliable climate control in a compact footprint

ABB drives for HVACR — ACH180, 0.37 to 22 kW.

The ACH180 is an all-compatible ABB HVACR drive ideal for compact machines. This cost-effective drive with a small footprint is optimized for HVACR machine builders requiring ease of use and reliable performance.

The ACH180 offers excellent performance and quality at its price level with all essential HVACR application features embedded. The built-in EMC filter, building automation protocols and STO bring savings in cabinet size and cost. Coated circuit boards, minimized airflow through the electronics and advanced ground fault protection guarantee reliable operation even in harsh conditions, with a design for 60 °C ambient temperature with derating.

Installation and commissioning are quick and easy thanks to the ACH180's intuitive icon-based backlit display, simple parameter structure and spring control terminals. ACH180 drives support induction, permanent magnet and permanent magnet assisted synchronous reluctance motors, and are part of the ABB all-compatible drives portfolio with the same user interface, PC tools and options.
