ABB 3AUD0000003150 HVAC Drive - UL Enclosure with E-Clipse
Part Number: 3AUD0000003150
Quick Summary
ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive delivers precise motor control for HVAC systems in commercial and industrial facilities. Engineers often contend with harmonic distortion, startup surges, and space constraints in enclosed installations. This drive is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures, with an ABB E-Clipse bypass and a door-mounted control panel for local operation. It supports 1 to 400 hp at 460 V, with electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses to boost reliability. By combining bypass readiness with external control connections and serial communications, it speeds commissioning and reduces maintenance costs in HVAC, pumps, and conveyors, helping facilities stay compliant with industry standards and deliver consistent performance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000003150 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.

FAQs
Plan for a space with adequate clearance for a UL-listed enclosure (Type 1/12/3R), ensure door interlock is accessible, and provide proper wiring to the external control connections and serial interface. Use the bypass path only for maintenance and commissioning as intended, and verify that fast-acting drive fuses are correctly sized for the load.
Key specs include 460 V input, 1 to 400 hp output range, current up to 302 A, and an ultra-low harmonic design with ABB E-Clipse bypass. It also offers electronic motor overload protection, a bypass starter, and a local control panel for immediate setup and troubleshooting.
Yes. The drive is engineered for HVAC fans, pumps, and conveyors, delivering smooth speed control, reduced harmonics, and improved energy efficiency. Its enclosure options and bypass capability simplify installation in restricted plant spaces while enabling reliable operation in building automation environments.
The drive is UL-listed with a NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure, providing robust protection for various installation environments. It also includes features like a door-mounted interlocked switch and fast-acting fuses to support safe operation and regulatory compliance in industrial settings.
Maintenance benefits come from electronic overload protection, quick bypass access, and remote/baseline diagnostics via serial communications. ROI is driven by reduced downtime from rapid maintenance, lower harmonic distortion, and energy savings from precise motor control in HVAC and process applications.
