ABB 3AUA0000225697 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000225697
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive is an HVAC drive with a built-in disconnect that delivers precise motor control for HVAC fans and pumps in commercial and industrial buildings. The packaged design simplifies installation by integrating the drive, disconnect switch, and fast-acting fuses in a single enclosure. A common pain point is achieving safe startup and reliable protection in demanding environments, which this unit addresses with electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted graphical control panel for local operation. The system is UL-rated with a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure, and it supports 230/460/575 V inputs in a range from 1 to 350 hp, plus serial communications for system integration. These features combine to improve uptime and reduce field wiring.

FAQs
Installation begins with mounting the UL Type 1 enclosure in a compliant mechanical room, connecting the door-mounted input disconnect, and wiring the 230/460/575 V power supply to the drive. Use the built-in fuses and ensure lockout/tagout procedures are followed. The door-mounted control panel provides local parameter setup for a smooth startup.
Plan for 230/460/575 V input options and a motor rating from 1 to 350 hp, with a current capacity up to 27 A for the 20 HP model. The controller includes electronic overload protection and integrated fuses to protect both drive and motor during startup and operation.
Yes. The package is designed for HVAC fans and pumps, offering a compact solution with an integrated disconnect, drive protection, and a local graphical control panel. Its serial communications capability also enables straightforward integration with building management systems for centralized control and monitoring.
The drive is rated for UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure configurations, with options for Type 12 or Type 3R enclosures. This combination provides robust protection for indoor HVAC installations and supports safe commissioning and maintenance.
Benefits include reduced field wiring and enclosure components, faster commissioning via the graphical local panel, and improved uptime due to integrated protection and fault isolation. The drive also supports easy BMS integration through serial communications, enabling energy management and proactive fault detection for lower operating costs.
