ABB 3AUD0000000672 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1 Ultra-Low Harmonic
Part Number: 3AUD0000000672
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic Packaged Drive is a packaged variable-speed drive designed for HVAC applications in commercial and industrial facilities. It helps facilities managers reduce energy use and improve temperature control by optimizing motor speed with harmonic mitigation. Installation challenges such as limited space, wiring complexity, and downtime are addressed by a door-mounted control panel, an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, and fast-acting drive fuses. This solution is UL listed for indoor use in a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure, with optional Type 12 or 3R configurations for harsher environments. By integrating local control, external control connections, and serial communications, it simplifies commissioning and maintenance while delivering reliable, energy-efficient performance.

FAQs
Yes. The 3AUD0000000672-based ACH580-31 Packaged Drive is designed for both new installations and upgrades in HVAC systems. It arrives in a UL Type 1 enclosure with an input disconnect or circuit breaker and a door-mounted control panel, simplifying wiring and field commissioning. Compatibility with 460 V systems and the 1–400 hp range supports a wide array of existing ducted, rooftop, and large fan applications.
Key specs include 460 V operation, 1–400 hp power range, ultra-low harmonic performance, electronic motor overload protection, and a control panel for local adjustments. The drive also features serial communications capability and external control connections, enabling integration with building management systems and remote diagnostics.
Large commercial buildings, data centers, and industrial HVAC installations with significant motor loads (fans, pumps) benefit most. The UL Type 1 enclosure and optional 12/3R variants make it suitable for indoor equipment rooms, while the harmonic mitigation supports improved power quality and energy efficiency in high-load conditions.
The ACH580-31 packaged drive is UL-listed for indoor use in a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure, with optional enclosure configurations for Type 12 or 3R. This combination supports safe operation and code-compliant installations in industrial and commercial settings.
By reducing wiring complexity, enabling local control, and providing electronic overload protection, the drive minimizes downtime and maintenance labor. Harmonic mitigation improves motor efficiency and reduces energy consumption, contributing to a faster return on investment in HVAC retrofits and new builds.
