Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225698 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 ACH580 Packaged Drive arrives inside a UL Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with a door-mounted input disconnect and fast-acting drive fuses, which reduces wiring and simplifies commissioning. This directly lowers installation time and risk during plant startup, enabling faster time-to-value for HVAC projects and retrofits. Application: Commercial buildings and light industrial HVAC installations where quick, safe deployment is essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive covers a broad voltage and horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and supports 230/460/575 V, allowing a single SKU to replace multiple components. This reduces spare parts, improves procurement efficiency, and simplifies stocking for maintenance teams. Application: New builds and modernization projects targeting energy efficiency and simplified maintenance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A door-mounted input disconnect that is padlockable in the OFF position enhances maintenance safety and lockout/tagout compliance, minimizing accidental restart risk. Application: Serviceable equipment in mechanical rooms and near fan or pump assemblies. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection provides precise current and fault management, preserving motor life and reducing unplanned downtime. Application: High-duty HVAC drives operating under varying load profiles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Local control panel plus external control connections and serial communications enable straightforward integration with building management systems (BMS) and control networks. Application: OEM integrations and plant-wide automation where remote monitoring and control are required. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The packaged approach reduces total cost of ownership by lowering panel space, wiring, and spare parts while boosting reliability. Application: Retrofit projects and new installations focused on energy savings and lifecycle value.
