ABB ACH580-31 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUD0000000717
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive optimizes motor control for HVAC and pumps. Engineers often contend with harmonics, nuisance fuse trips, and wiring complexity during upgrades. This unit is UL-listed and offered with a NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure, featuring an ABB E-Clipse bypass for fast, reliable bypass operation. The integrated bypass starter, protection, and local control panel simplify installation and maintenance while reducing cabinet footprint. With a 1 to 400 hp range at 460 V and serial communications, it scales from small fans to large pumping configurations. For OEMs and service teams, the combination of protection, visibility, and flexible control translates into lower downtime and predictable performance in critical environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000717 ABB: The ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 400 hp at 460 V. The ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive with ABB E-Clipse bypass provides an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses, with door mounted and interlocked switch (padlockable in the OFF position), a bypass starter, electronic motor overload protection, a door mounted control panel with graphical display for local control, provisions for external control connections, and serial communications capability.
Integrated ABB ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive with E-Clipse bypass reduces harmonic distortion and energy waste, delivering smoother motor operation for HVAC fans and pumping equipment. This compact package combines drive, bypass starter, and protection in a single enclosure, simplifying installation and saving cabinet space in commercial buildings and factories. The unit offers an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and a door-mounted interlocked switch, padlockable in the OFF position, delivering safer commissioning and faster fault isolation while supporting lockout/tagout practices. A door-mounted graphical display supports local control, while provisions for external control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with PLCs and building-management systems. Available from 1 to 400 hp at 460 V, it covers a broad range of motors and processes, and its protection, visibility, and flexible control translate into lower downtime and predictable performance in critical environments. This drive also aligns with modern compliance needs by providing UL-listed protection and a robust, compact footprint that eases installation in space-constrained cabinets.

FAQs
For HVAC installs, plan around the 460 V supply and 1–400 hp range. Use the UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure variants to match indoor or outdoor environments. Ensure proper wiring separation, implement the input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, and leverage the door-mounted control panel for straightforward setup and commissioning.
The ACH580-31 provides ultra-low harmonic performance to minimize THD in stressed loads. It includes ABB E-Clipse bypass for reliable bypass operation, integrated protection, and serial communications for system-wide coordination. These features help meet power-quality requirements in sensitive HVAC and pumping applications while maintaining steady motor torque and reduced electrical noise.
Yes. The drive supports 1 to 400 hp at 460 V and includes a bypass starter with E-Clipse bypass, enabling a mechanical bypass path during maintenance or peak-load conditions. This reduces downtime and offers seamless transitions between drive control and steady-state motor operation for large HVAC fans and pumps.
The ACH580-31 is UL-listed and designed for NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure configurations, supporting safe installation in a variety of environments. The combination of enclosure ratings and protection features helps facilities meet electrical safety and equipment reliability standards while enabling easier service access and maintenance.
The integrated bypass, protection, and control reduce wiring and cabinet footprint, lowering installation costs. Harmonic reduction improves power quality, potentially lowering energy waste and utility penalties. The door-mounted display and remote connectivity streamline maintenance planning, shorten fault diagnosis time, and increase uptime for critical HVAC and pumping systems.
