ABB 3AUD0000001514 HVAC Packaged Drive - UL Listed, 125 HP
Part Number: 3AUD0000001514
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUD0000001514 HVAC Packaged Drive is a compact, UL-listed motor drive designed for efficient control of HVAC equipment. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, space constraints, and the complexity of integrating drives with building automation systems. This packaged drive delivers UL listing and a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, ultra-low harmonic operation, built-in fusing, electronic overload protection, a door-mounted control panel, and serial communications capability. By consolidating drives, disconnects, and control panels, it reduces wiring, speeds commissioning, and lowers total cost of ownership for HVAC fans, pumps, and compressors.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000001514 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with an input disconnect switch or input circuit breaker, plus fast-acting drive fuses, provides enhanced protection and simplified maintenance, helping facilities stay code-compliant while enabling safer servicing in tight mechanical rooms. This translates to faster maintenance windows and lower risk during routine service for rooftop units and air handling installations. Application-wise, it suits compact mechanical rooms and rooftop HVAC layouts where space and access are limited. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Ultra-low harmonic design reduces harmonic distortion and improves power quality, minimizing motor overheating and extending motor life while reducing EMI with the electrical supply. This leads to better overall system reliability and reduced energy waste in large fan arrays and variable air volume systems. Application-wise, it benefits commercial buildings with variable-speed fans and pumps where power quality directly impacts reliability and energy costs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A door-mounted control panel with graphical display, plus external control connections and serial communications capability, streamlines local control and BAS integration. The result is faster commissioning, easier troubleshooting, and seamless remote monitoring for multi-zone systems. Application-wise, it supports building automation strategies and remote diagnostics across campuses and data centers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 1–400 hp at 460 V rating provides scalable capacity for a range of HVAC loads, enabling a single platform to cover small to large units and simplifying upgrade paths. This reduces capital expenditure and accelerates project timelines in retrofit and new-build projects. Application-wise, it fits chillers, packaged rooftops, and large air handlers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection safeguards motors and reduces downtime by preventing common fault conditions and enabling quick fault diagnosis. This improves maintenance planning and equipment availability in critical AHUs and large-scale ventilation systems. Application-wise, it supports uptime requirements in hospitals, manufacturing floors, and data centers.

FAQs
The 3AUD0000001514 is designed as a packaged drive with an ACH580-31 architecture in a UL-listed UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure. It can be configured with either a door-mounted input disconnect switch or an input circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses. It supports 1 to 400 hp at 460 V and requires a three-phase 460 V supply. It also offers external control connections and serial communications for BAS integration, simplifying both installation and commissioning in HVAC applications.
The ultra-low harmonic design minimizes harmonic distortion and improves overall power quality, which reduces motor overheating and EMI, contributing to longer motor life and steadier operation of fans and pumps. These improvements translate into higher system efficiency, better voltage stability, and lower energy waste in large HVAC duties where variable-speed drives are used to modulate air flow.
Yes. The packager is specifically built for HVAC applications, including fans, pumps, and air handlers. With 460 V operation, 1–400 hp capacity, and integrated protection and control features, it offers a compact, reliable solution for building energy management, rooftop units, and central plant equipment where space, maintenance, and ease of integration are key considerations.
This package is UL-listed and designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures, with built-in drive fuses and electronic overload protection. The design prioritizes electrical safety, code compliance, and integration readiness with building management systems via serial communications, making it suitable for regulated commercial and industrial environments.
By consolidating drive, disconnect, fusing, and a control panel, maintenance reduces wiring complexity and commissioning time, lowering labor costs. The electronic overload protection and robust enclosure help minimize unexpected downtime, while the harmonic mitigation improves energy efficiency. Over the system life, plant operators typically experience lower operating expenses and quicker payback on HVAC upgrades.
