With external control connections and serial communications, the drive integrates with building automation and remote monitoring, supporting energy efficiency programs and reduced maintenance costs. In practice, ABB's packaged solution offers a compact, scalable option for 25 hp to 350 hp applications, simplifying procurement and serviceability across 230/460/575 V systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226152 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. Integrated input disconnect switch with fast-acting fuses or input circuit breaker reduces field wiring and simplifies safety compliance, enabling fast, safe commissioning in vertical HVAC installations and retrofit projects. UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure options protect sensitive electronics in indoor mechanical rooms, lowering downtime risk and easing maintenance. A door-mounted control panel with graphical display provides local control and rapid fault diagnosis, shrinking service time during start-up and routine checks in rooftop units. The drive covers 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, enabling a single platform for a broad range of motors, reducing inventory and procurement complexity. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against overload conditions, extending motor life and lowering replacement costs. Serial communications capability and external control connections simplify integration with BAS and remote monitoring, improving energy management and predictive maintenance.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is available in UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. This choice governs where the drive can be installed (indoor mechanical rooms, protected outdoor spaces, or more demanding indoor environments) and affects service access, wiring complexity, and protection level. By selecting the appropriate enclosure, you simplify installation, improve safety, and ensure compatibility with local electrical codes and maintenance practices.
The door-mounted input disconnect switch is padlockable in the OFF position, providing a physical lockout during maintenance. This reduces accidental energization, enhances worker safety, and supports standard lockout/tagout procedures. In practice, technicians can service the drive and connected equipment with confidence, accelerating fault isolation and preventing unexpected startups during troubleshooting.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports motors from 1 to 350 hp across 230/460/575 V supplies. This wide range enables a single packaged solution for various HVAC applications, from smaller rooftop units to larger air-handling units, reducing the need for multiple drives and simplifying spare parts inventories while ensuring consistent control performance.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes external control connections and serial communications capability, enabling seamless integration with building automation systems (BAS) and remote monitoring platforms. This supports advanced energy management, diagnostic insights, and predictive maintenance workflows, helping facilities optimize performance and reduce operational costs.
Key benefits include reduced installation time thanks to an integrated disconnect and compact enclosure, improved safety with padlockable OFF, and enhanced reliability through electronic motor overload protection. The drive’s wide horsepower and voltage range lowers capital risk by replacing multiple drives, while serial communications enable proactive maintenance and energy-management initiatives, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the system lifecycle.
