Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226151 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
Integrated packaging combines an ACH580 drive with an input disconnect switch and fast-acting fuses or an input circuit breaker, simplifying control wiring and startup safety. This reduces panel footprint and installation time while meeting safety standards for service access. It's ideal for HVAC packaged units where reliable power isolation and quick commissioning are critical. Enclosure versatility comes in UL Type 1, 12, or 3R configurations with a door-mounted control panel that features a graphical display for local operation. The padlockable OFF switch enhances maintenance safety and prevents unauthorized access. With these options, you can install in indoor plant rooms or outdoor spaces without compromising performance. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against short-term overloads and faults, reducing unplanned downtime and extending motor life. The built-in protections align with energy standards and support compliant operation under variable loads. Users gain consistent torque control and improved drive life across demanding HVAC duties. Serial communications capability enables integration with building management systems and remote diagnostics, improving energy management and fault visibility. This compatibility supports industry-standard protocols and reduces field wiring for modern automation schemes. Operators benefit from centralized monitoring and faster troubleshooting. Rated 1–350 hp and 230/460/575 V input expand the ACH580 Packaged Drive across a wide range of HVAC applications, from small fans to large compressors. The packaged form reduces cabinet size and simplifies procurement by combining drive, disconnect, and protection in one unit. This translates to lower total cost of ownership and faster project delivery. From an engineering perspective, the ACH580 Packaged Drive delivers proven ABB reliability and scalable performance for commercial and industrial environments. Quick wiring, robust protection, and easy maintenance make it a smart choice for retrofit projects and new builds alike.
