Part Number: 3AUD0000001525
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUD0000001525 is an ultra-low harmonic packaged drive that regulates HVAC motor loads in commercial and industrial facilities. Designers often grapple with harmonic distortion, tight panel space, and wiring complexity when upgrading motor drives. This UL-listed solution is available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures with either an input disconnect switch or a circuit breaker, plus fast-acting drive fuses, for safer, faster installations. With 1 to 400 hp at 460 V and electronic motor overload protection, it provides local control through a door-mounted graphical panel and supports external control connections with serial communications. By consolidating drive, protection, and control, ABB 3AUD0000001525 delivers faster deployment, lower lifecycle costs, and smoother integration into building automation systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000001525 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 design reduces harmonic distortion, improving power quality and extending equipment life for critical HVAC loads. The business impact is clearer power bills, better transformer loading, and compliance with utility requirements, enabling reliable operation in commercial buildings and factories. This packaged drive simplifies installation by including an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, reducing wiring errors and commissioning time, while delivering space savings in control panels and on electrical boards. With a door-mounted control panel that provides a graphical display, technicians gain local visibility and quick fault diagnostics, accelerating maintenance and reducing downtime. The solution supports 1–400 hp at 460 V and offers NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure options, enabling flexible mounting in existing plant footprints and seamless integration with building management systems via serial communications. Electronic motor overload protection minimizes motor stress and unplanned outages, delivering lower maintenance costs and longer drive life. Overall, its packaged design and robust protection streamline compliance, safety, and total cost of ownership for HVAC and industrial motor applications.

FAQs
What you’ll need to plan includes selecting the appropriate enclosure (Type 1, 12, or 3R), choosing between an input disconnect switch or input circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, and ensuring panel space can accommodate the package. The drive supports 460 V three-phase motors up to 400 HP and provides a door-mounted control panel for local commissioning, reducing field wiring and setup time.
The ultra-low harmonic design minimizes harmonic distortion injected back onto the electrical network, improving power factor and transformer loading. This leads to more stable operation of HVAC motors, reduced electrical losses, better energy efficiency, and easier compliance with utility and grid stability requirements in commercial buildings.
Yes. The drive includes serial communications capability and external control connections, enabling integration with most building automation systems. This allows centralized monitoring, remote start/stop commands, and data collection for energy analytics, while maintaining local control through the door-mounted graphical panel for on-site commissioning.
The package is UL Listed, providing validated electrical safety compliance for commercial and industrial installations. It is offered in enclosure configurations suitable for NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R installations, supporting safe, region-appropriate deployment and reduced need for separate protective components in many HVAC and motor-drive applications.
Consolidating drive, protection, and control reduces wiring complexity, panel space, and installation time, leading to lower upfront and field labor costs. The electronic motor overload protection and robust fault diagnostics minimize unplanned downtime, while improved power quality lowers energy losses—together delivering faster payback and longer service life for HVAC motor systems.
