ABB 3AXD50000507917 Motors & Drives - UL Pld 250 Hp, 302 A, 480 V
Part Number: 3AXD50000507917
Quick Summary
ABB 3AXD50000507917 is an LV AC ultra-low harmonic drive module for HVAC systems. Engineers often struggle with harmonic distortion, wasted energy, and unstable motor control in large HVAC installations. Common safety and performance certifications such as UL listings, CE compatibility, and robust IP-rated enclosures provide confidence in installation and maintenance. With ABB's drive technology, you gain improved energy efficiency, reduced harmonic impact, and easier integration with Building Management Systems (BMS) and HVAC controls. Designed for 480 V supply and 302 A drive current, it supports 250 Hp capacity with reliable performance. This module also facilitates retrofit projects by matching ABB ACH580 series interfaces and enabling straightforward integration into existing controls.
Product Information
The ultra-low harmonic design reduces total harmonic distortion in motor currents, delivering cleaner power and smoother operation. The business impact is measurable—lower energy usage, longer motor life, and reduced maintenance, especially on high‑duty HVAC fans and pumps. This approach is ideal for commercial buildings with stringent power quality requirements and tight electrical infrastructure. With a 480 V, 302 A, 250 Hp rating, the drive delivers robust torque across variable loads, enabling smooth starts and reliable operation that minimizes wear and downtime. The outcome is improved system efficiency, reduced energy bills, and easier compliance with electrical standards during commissioning and ongoing operation. Installation and integration advantages include a modular design and compatibility with ABB ACH580 control topology, which shortens commissioning time and simplifies retrofit projects. The drive complements existing control schemes and BMS interfaces, reducing engineering effort while enabling standardized global service and spare parts across sites. Safety and reliability are enhanced by UL-listed safety features and the potential for CE-compliant configurations, along with enclosure options suitable for harsher environments. This combination minimizes risk during installation and operation, helping projects meet regulatory deadlines and avoid costly delays. Long-term value comes from energy savings, reduced harmonic-related losses, and predictable performance under varied HVAC loads. The solution also supports scalable expansion across facilities, making it a strategic choice for owners pursuing lifecycle cost reductions and improved return on investment.

FAQs
ABB 3AXD50000507917 is best suited for large HVAC applications such as air handling units, rooftop units, and condenser pumps in commercial buildings and data centers. It provides reliable speed control for fans and pumps at 480 V with up to 250 Hp, while minimizing harmonic distortion. This makes it ideal for retrofit projects where existing ABB ACH580 interfaces are already in place.
The ultra-low harmonic feature reduces total harmonic distortion in motor currents, improving power factor and reducing voltage fluctuations. The resulting energy savings and gentler motor torque help extend bearing life and lower maintenance costs. In practice, you see smoother starts, fewer electrical disturbances for nearby equipment, and easier compliance with electrical standards in high-load HVAC environments.
Yes, the drive is designed to integrate with ABB ACH580 topology and the ACH580-34-302A-4 interface, enabling seamless upgrade paths from existing controls. It supports standard field connections, wiring practices, and commissioning workflows used in modern HVAC projects, simplifying retrofit or new-build implementations and helping engineers maintain consistent control logic across site families.
This module aligns with common industrial safety and performance standards, including UL listings for safety. Depending on your region, CE conformity or CE-like compliance may be available, and different enclosure options accommodate varying IP ratings. Always verify the product datasheet and local approvals to ensure the specific configuration meets your regulatory and installation requirements.
Maintenance and ROI are driven by reduced energy consumption from harmonic mitigation, lower downtime due to smoother operation, and standardized service across ABB support networks. Expect easier spare parts planning and longer service intervals. The exact payback depends on load factors, but the combination of energy savings and reliability typically yields a favorable lifecycle cost for HVAC fleets.
