Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225706 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with either an input disconnect switch and fast acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. 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 integrates an input disconnect and fast-acting protection inside a single enclosure, streamlining wiring and reducing field assembly time for HVAC projects. This translates to lower labor costs and quicker commissioning in commercial buildings, hospitals, and data centers where reliability is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: With a 1–350 hp range and 230/460/575 V compatibility, customers can standardize on a single drive for diverse motor loads, reducing spare parts and stocking costs across facilities. This supports scalable energy management programs and simpler procurement for engineering teams. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection protects motors and drives from overheating and fault conditions, cutting unplanned downtime and extending motor life in fan and pump applications. This is ideal for water treatment, process cooling, and air handling units. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The door-mounted graphical control panel enables fast local setup, troubleshooting, and parameter tuning, which accelerates maintenance and reduces downtime during seasonal peak loads in large buildings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications and external control connections enable seamless integration with PLCs and building management systems, improving fault diagnostics and enabling advanced control strategies for energy optimization. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The UL listing and NEMA enclosure options (Type 1/12/3R) provide code-compliant installation in harsh environments, reducing risk of non-conformance audits and easing field modifications in retrofit projects.
