Engineers often struggle with panel space, wiring complexity, and downtime; the packaged design minimizes these pain points by delivering a complete, code-compliant solution in a single enclosure. The unit is UL-listed for NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures with built-in electronic motor overload protection, a local control panel, and serial communications for building automation integration. With scalable power from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, it enables energy-efficient, variable-speed HVAC control while easing procurement and serviceability.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226136 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.
The integrated ACH580 Packaged Drive combines the controller, the UL Type enclosure, and a fast-acting drive fuse into a single, install-ready unit. Business impact: reduces wiring errors, panel depth, and assembly time, which lowers labor costs and commissioning risk. Application: ideal for HVAC fans and pumps where space is limited and safety-critical disconnection is required. UL-listed protection in a NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure provides consistent safety and code compliance across install sites. Impact: simplifies inspections, reduces risk of noncompliance penalties, and supports service access in harsh environments. Application: suitable for rooftop units, mechanical rooms, and equipment cabinets in diverse climates. Electronic motor overload protection helps prevent motor stalls and overheating, extending motor life and reducing unplanned downtime. Application: variable-speed fans and pumps in climate control systems. The door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables quick local control, troubleshooting, and parameter changes, improving maintenance efficiency. Application: on-site setup and rapid fault isolation for HVAC equipment fleets. Power range from 1 to 350 hp and voltages of 230/460/575 V provide scalable drive selection, enabling smooth retrofits and future upgrades. Application: aligns with multi-building portfolios and evolving load requirements. Serial communications capability and external control connections ease integration with building automation and energy management systems, reducing integration time and enabling remote monitoring across facilities.
