ABB 3AUD0000003155 Motors & Drives-UL Type 1/12/3R Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUD0000003155
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive optimizes HVAC motor control for reliable, energy-efficient fans and pumps. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, downtime, and wiring complexity when integrating bypass functionality. The drive ships in UL-listed NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures with ABB E-Clipse bypass, providing a bypass starter, fast-acting drive fuses, and an interlocked, door-mounted control panel for local operation. Electronic motor overload protection and serial communications support safer, scalable automation, while 1 to 400 hp at 460 V covers a wide range of HVAC loads. By combining compact installation with robust protection, this solution reduces maintenance costs, improves startup reliability, and enables remote monitoring for proactive maintenance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000003155 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.
Feature: Ultra-low harmonic drive with ABB E-Clipse bypass reduces total harmonic distortion in HVAC motors. Impact: Greater motor efficiency, reduced electrical stress, and easier compliance with power quality standards translate to lower energy costs and less EMI in plants. Application: Ideal for air handling units, rooftop units, and variable air volume systems where consistent regulation is critical. Feature: Integrated UL listed NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure with bypass starter and fast-acting drive fuses. Impact: Simplified installation and code compliance reduce field labor and panel footprint, while protecting the drive in dusty or wet environments. Application: Mechanical rooms and outdoor-rated installations where safe access and reliable bypass are required. Feature: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker and interlocked door with padlockable OFF position. Impact: Enhanced safety during maintenance and easier adherence to lockout/tagout procedures, reducing downtime. Application: Systems that require controlled isolation during commissioning and service. Feature: Door mounted control panel with graphical display and serial communications. Impact: Faster commissioning, easier local control, and seamless integration with building management systems. Application: HVAC systems that demand remote monitoring, diagnostics, and scalable automation across multiple zones. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection and a bypass starter. Impact: Protects motors from overload conditions and provides a safe, continuous operation path during startup or bypass. Application: Critical HVAC loads like large fans and pumps that operate under variable loads and require high reliability. Feature: Broad horsepower range from 1 to 400 hp at 460 V and compatibility with 302 A maximum current. Impact: Flexibility to cover a wide array of HVAC applications without multiple drives, reducing inventory and total cost of ownership. Application: Retrofit projects and new installations across diverse HVAC loads.
