With electronic motor overload protection and built-in serial communications capability, it offers robust protection and easy integration into plant networks. Rated for 460 V, 12 A, and 7.5 HP, it supports scalable deployment across new builds and retrofit projects while enabling energy efficiency and tighter control in industrial automation systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000673 ABB: The ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic Packaged Drive includes an ACH580-31 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with either an input disconnect switch or an input circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses. It is available from 1 to 400 hp at 460 V. The ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic Packaged Drive provides a door-mounted input disconnect switch (padlockable in the OFF position), electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel with graphical display for local control, provisions for external control connections, and serial communications capability.
Ultra-low harmonic architecture reduces input current distortion, improving power quality and reducing overheating in motor windings. This translates into longer motor life, lower cooling requirements, and fewer nuisance trips in HVAC packs. Use it in commercial buildings, manufacturing floors, and process cooling where harmonics from VFDs are a concern. The packaged drive combines a UL Type 1 enclosure with a door-mounted control panel, an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, and fast-acting drive fuses, simplifying installation and enhancing safety by minimizing field wiring and enabling straightforward service access. Electronic motor overload protection guards equipment against overload events, lowering maintenance costs and extending asset life while providing clear local diagnostics on the control panel. Serial communications capability enables seamless integration with existing industrial networks, enabling remote monitoring, fleet-wide configuration, and predictive maintenance. With 460 V operation across 12 A inputs and a 7.5 HP rating, the ACH580-31 scales from small commercial projects to mid-size process applications, delivering reliable performance with energy-efficiency gains and tight control in automation environments.
