ABB ACH580-31 Ultra-low Harmonic Packaged Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUD0000001554
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-31 Ultra-low Harmonic Packaged Drive controls HVAC motors efficiently in packaged drives for commercial and industrial systems. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, energy waste, and complex integration with existing plant controls. Key certifications include UL listing and CE-ready configurations for global deployments, with IP-rated enclosure options to withstand harsh environments. Together with scalable 1–400 hp at 460 V capability, local control via a door-mounted graphical display, and serial communications for plant-wide data, the solution delivers measurable business value and a smoother modernization path. With electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses, maintenance downtime is reduced while uptime improves. Designed for installation with ACH580 controllers and standard plant networks, it enables faster commissioning and safer, lockable servicing.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000001554 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 and improves power quality, lowering energy waste and delivering smoother motor operation for HVAC fans, pumps, and conveyors. This translates to lower electricity costs and better compliance with electrical standards. The packaged drive option simplifies installation by combining drive, enclosure, and protective devices in one unit, reducing field wiring and installation time in retrofit projects and new builds alike. The 1–400 hp at 460 V horsepower range provides headroom for growth without needing to replace drives, cutting capital expenditure and minimizing downtime during upgrades. An integrated door-mounted graphical display and external control connections streamline commissioning and daily operation, while serial communications enable easy integration with SCADA/BMS systems for better visibility and control. Electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses enhance reliability, reducing unplanned outages and extending motor life. Compatibility with UL Type 1, 12, and 3R enclosures and the ACH580 ecosystem supports safer, compliant installations across facilities, lowering total cost of ownership and simplifying maintenance.

FAQs
Yes. The ACH580-31 is designed as a packaged drive with a door-mounted graphical control panel, external control connections, and serial communications. It supports 460 V operation from 1 to 400 hp and fits UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations, making retrofits and new installations straightforward within typical HVAC and light industrial environments.
The ultra-low harmonic design minimizes total harmonic distortion in the driven system, improving power factor and reducing grid impact. This results in smoother motor operation, better voltage stability, and fewer electrical disturbances on feeding transformers and upstream equipment, which is especially valuable in HVAC corridors, pumps, and fans with variable loads.
Absolutely. With 1–400 hp at 460 V, integrated protection, and a compact packaged enclosure, the ACH580-31 is well-suited for HVAC packaged equipment, commercial building automation, and light industrial processes. Its built-in control panel and communication capabilities ease integration with SCADA/BMS systems for centralized monitoring and control.
The ACH580-31 is UL-listed and available in enclosure options that span UL Type 1, 12, and 3R configurations. This supports global deployments, with CE-ready configurations for international compliance and IP-rated considerations in harsher environments when specified by the installation. Always verify the exact enclosure option for your installation site.
By integrating drive, protection, and enclosure in a single unit, the ACH580-31 reduces wiring, cabinet space, and installation complexity, cutting commissioning time and field labor. Electronic overload protection and fast-acting fuses lower the risk of motor damage and downtime, while remote diagnostics and standard communications streamline maintenance planning and asset management.
