Its electronic motor overload protection and internal control panel simplify protection and tuning, reducing risk during startup and operation. With serial communications and external control connections, it can integrate seamlessly with building automation systems and remote monitoring. The result is improved energy efficiency, reduced maintenance, and faster project ROI in HVAC projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226146 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
The Packaged Drive includes an input disconnect switch or a fast-acting fuse block in a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure, padlockable in the OFF position. This arrangement improves safety during startup, simplifies code compliance, and reduces field wiring time for installers working in tight spaces. For retrofit projects and new equipment, the integrated enclosure streamlines commissioning and minimizes miswiring risks while meeting local electrical codes. The drive is rated from 1 to 350 hp and supports 230/460/575 V, enabling precise speed control for a wide range of fans and pumps. This broad compatibility delivers energy efficiency gains and smoother process control in HVAC systems, with fewer startup transients and reduced wear on mechanical components. Electronic motor overload protection protects critical motors from short-term overloads, helping to reduce unexpected downtime and extending motor life. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display allows local tuning, simplified diagnostics, and rapid parameter setup, which accelerates on-site commissioning and reduces service calls. Serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections enable seamless integration with BAS/SCADA systems, remote monitoring, and centralized control, improving asset visibility and fault detection. The packaging also supports external control interfaces and safe, padlockable enclosure access, which simplifies safety compliance and reduces lockout/tagout concerns during maintenance. Compatibility with ABB’s ACH580 family means easier upgrades and spare parts availability, while the compact footprint lowers panel space requirements and wiring complexity in retrofit scenarios. Overall, this configuration delivers measurable ROI through energy savings, reduced installation time, and improved reliability for commercial and industrial HVAC applications.
