ABB 3AUA0000225696 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000225696
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000225696 Packaged Drive is an HVAC variable-speed drive that controls motor speed and torque for building climate systems. For engineers, the challenge is integrating protection, control, and wiring into a compact footprint without sacrificing reliability. UL Type 1 (NEMA) enclosure options, 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, and electronic motor overload protection support compliant, safe operation. This combination reduces installation time, simplifies maintenance, and enables scalable HVAC automation with built-in connectivity. Additionally, its door-mounted control panel provides local setup and status visibility, while serial communications enable seamless integration with building management systems. In practice, this means faster start-up, lower wiring complexity, and compliance with safety and equipment protection standards across HVAC projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225696 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses. It is available from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. The ACH580 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The packaged architecture integrates an ACH580 drive inside a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure with an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, including fast-acting drive fuses. Business impact is a reduced external component count, lower wiring complexity, and accelerated electrical compliance, simplifying installation in new builds or retrofit projects. Application-wise, this is ideal for HVAC systems in commercial buildings and industrial facilities where reliability and compact footprints matter. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A door-mounted input disconnect switch, padlockable in the OFF position, paired with electronic motor overload protection, enhances safety and prevents motor damage during maintenance or fault conditions. This supports safer on-site servicing and reduces unplanned downtime in rooftop units and air handlers. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1 to 350 hp capability at 230/460/575 V, along with external control connections and serial communications, enables scalable sizing and seamless integration with existing controls and BMS. This promotes flexible retrofits and future-proof installations in large-scale HVAC environments. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Enclosure options including Type 1, Type 12, and 3R provide environmental adaptability, while fast-acting drive fuses offer reinforced protection. The result is durable operation in indoor and light outdoor settings, from data centers to industrial process HVAC. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Local control panel with graphical display and remote connectivity improves commissioning speed and ongoing diagnostics, reducing total cost of ownership and supporting proactive maintenance programs across facilities.

FAQs
This packaged drive comes with a door-mounted input disconnect (padlockable OFF) and fast-acting fuses, reducing external wiring and enabling safer, faster commissioning. Plan for 230/460/575 V supply and select the enclosure Type 1, 12, or 3R based on indoor or outdoor location.
The unit supports 1 to 350 hp across 230/460/575 V, includes electronic motor overload protection, and provides serial communications for control integration. It is designed for HVAC applications requiring reliable motor protection within UL Type 1/NEMA enclosures.
Yes. Its integrated enclosure options, local control panel, and serial communications make it well suited for commercial HVAC and building management system integration, delivering reliable speed control, protection, and easy commissioning.
The solution uses UL Type 1 (NEMA) enclosures with optional Type 12 or 3R configurations, providing compliance with standard electrical protection and enclosure suitability for various installation environments.
By consolidating drive, disconnect, protection, and control in a single enclosure, it reduces installation time, minimizes wiring errors, and shortens commissioning. The built-in protection and remote connectivity support proactive maintenance, potentially lowering downtime and extending motor life.
