ABB 3AUD0000003548 ACH580-31 Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive - UL
Part Number: 3AUD0000003548
Quick Summary
Ultra-Low Harmonic Drive technology from ABB delivers precise motor control for HVAC systems, enabling efficient, reliable drive performance. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, wiring complexity, and space constraints; the ACH580 consolidates drive, bypass, and protection in one enclosure. UL-listed enclosures and NEMA-type compatibility help ensure safe, code-compliant installations across commercial and industrial HVAC projects. With 1 to 400 hp at 460 V and integrated control features, it reduces installation time and total cost of ownership. This combination supports energy-efficiency goals and scalable control for growing facilities. This drive offers robust diagnostics and remote communication options to shorten maintenance windows and minimize downtime. Designed for retrofit projects, it integrates with existing BAS and motor control schemes without extensive rewiring. Field technicians value its clear status indicators and accessible service points during routine checks.
