ABB 3AUD0000000679 Motors & Drives - ACH580-3PCR-052A-4
Part Number: 3AUD0000000679
Quick Summary
ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic Packaged Drive is a compact motor control solution for HVAC systems. It combines a drive, enclosure, and protection features in a single unit to simplify installation and maintenance. Engineers often wrestle with harmonic distortion, panel space constraints, and lengthy commissioning. This package drive supports UL-listed enclosures (NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R) and is designed with electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel, and serial communications for easy integration. While CE marking and IP-rated enclosures are standard expectations in many markets, ABB’s packaging minimizes wiring, reduces footprint, and speeds deployment, delivering measurable efficiency gains and lower total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000679 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.

FAQs
The ACH580-31 Packaged Drive is designed for straightforward installation in UL-listed enclosures: Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R. It can be equipped with a door-mounted disconnect or a circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, simplifying wiring, safety compliance, and maintenance access. During installation, ensure proper ventilation, correct 460 V three-phase connections, and that the local control panel is accessible for commissioning and diagnostics.
This drive delivers ultra-low harmonic performance to minimize THD, which lowers electrical stress on feeders and transformers. It includes electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses to guard against overload conditions, along with enclosure protection and safe start/stop sequencing to reduce motor wear and downtime in air handling and pumping applications.
Yes. The ACH580-31 includes serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections, enabling integration with common building management systems and PLCs. The door-mounted graphical interface also supports local control during commissioning, testing, and maintenance without requiring external programming equipment.
Key considerations include UL listing for the enclosure and drive assembly (UL-listed with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R configurations). While CE marking and IP-rated enclosures are standard expectations in many markets, verify your regional requirements with ABB or your distributor to ensure full compliance for your installation and service plan.
The packaged drive consolidates drive, protection, and control, reducing wiring, panel space, and installation time. Harmonic mitigation improves power quality and reduces energy waste, while protected components and local diagnostics shorten maintenance intervals. Overall, projects benefit from faster commissioning, lower total cost of ownership, and a faster payback through energy savings and reduced downtime.
