ABB’s low harmonic active front end drives have been known as the Ultra-low harmonic drives for over 20 years. Recently non-ABB manufacturers have started calling their drives “ULH” or “ultra low harmonic,” which has caused confusion in the industry. This technical note provides some history and background information on Ultra-low harmonic ABB drives.

Crest factor is a unitless calculation of the “peakiness” that a waveform exhibits and can have negative effects on electrical systems if it exceeds certain limits. Three different ABB drives, the ACH180 microdrive, the ACH580-01 base drive, and the ACH580-31 ULH drive have their crest factor documented in this technical note.

This technical note explains the details behind parking facility ventilation classification, ventilation systems types, standards to adhere to and the operation of the system. It also highlights the benefit of using drives on these systems and the key features used within the drive.

This technical note focuses on understanding how supply voltage impacts drive selection in an HVACR applications. It reviews a variety of situations, such as when the supply voltage is lower than the motor's nameplate voltage.

This guide assists design and installation personnel when trying to ensure compliance with the radio frequency requirements of the EMC Directive in the user's systems and installations when using AC drives.

The ULH 580 series (both ACH580 and ACQ580) have the ability to proactively correct displacement power factor. The extra capacity in a drive can be used for power factor correction. This technical note outlines the power factor correction concept with a drive, along with providing control strategies that can be used.

Data center cooling and humidity control is a critical requirement to maintaining both the operation and life of the equipment involved. The ACH580 drive has ability to support chilled water pumping applications in any configuration. These drives fit the sequence of operation and add both efficiency to the operation as well as lengthen the life of the equipment that they operate. This technical note viewed the considerations of implementing the ACH580 drive in a chilled water pumping application while managed by an external controller.

This paper explains the details behind sizing a drive to control multiple motors, protection devices required, cable length considerations & drive commissioning. It also highlights the benefit of using the ACH580's assistants for these systems.

Parameter 95.01 Supply voltage has different default settings based on if the drive is a 6-pulse drive or a ULH drive. Parameter 95.02 Adaptive voltage limits is defaulted enabled for all drive types and voltage classes. Depending on the combination of settings between parameters 95.01 and 95.02 different undervoltage, overvoltage, and brake chopper triggers exist. Under certain circumstances adjustment of these two parameters may be necessary to allow the drive to function properly based off of site specific input voltage conditions.

What tools should a drive technician have available to work on or troubleshoot an ABB ACH580 drive? This technical note provides guidance on everything from Allen wrenches to computer programs.

PM motors represent some of the most efficient and versatile motor technologies in the market when paired with the right drive technology. The ACH580 can operate an internal(embedded) permanent magnet motor (IPM) or a surface mounted PM motor (SMPM). We will review the parameters to commission these motors. We will discuss troubleshooting scenarios and steps.

There are many fan and pump applications where multiple sets of a drive and motor pairs operate where system redundancy is manually controlled. The software feature IPC in ACH580 and ACQ580 can be used to enhance the existing application to provide automatic redundancy. This technical note provides the details on how to program the drives to take advantage of this automatic system redundancy.

The energy optimizer is a drive feature that allows a motor to operate more efficiently with reduced losses. This technical note introduces the energy optimizer feature and explains how it functions.

In a building automation system, controllers typically use adjustable setpoints. This allows technicians or end users to modify values and fine-tune the HVACR system for better efficiency or space comfort. Setting up an ACH580 with BACnet MS/TP, this tech note will explain features of the embedded fieldbus parameters and Adaptive Programming to make custom logic blocks and handle BAS setpoint control similar to that of a building controller.

This technical note is to assist an OEM in setting up and testing the "PQ and QH" (power to flow and flow to head) function of the ACH580/ACQ580 drive.  This sensorless pumping function uses pump data to calculate flow and head based on measured flow, pressure, and power.  Testing pump and motor combinations increases system accuracy by reducing data tolerance issues.
