ABB ACH580-PCR-124A-4+B056 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000226156
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-PCR-124A-4+B056 is an HVAC drive that controls motor speed in building HVAC systems. Upgrading legacy drives often introduces wiring clutter, safety gaps, and lengthy commissioning cycles, but a packaged solution minimizes these risks. It features UL-listed protection and enclosure options, including UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R configurations, plus door-mounted overload protection and a padlockable disconnect for preventive safety. With a built-in control panel, external control connections, and serial communications, integration with modern automation architectures is streamlined. The result is faster project commissioning, predictable performance, and reduced maintenance costs, while enabling precise temperature and airflow control across commercial and light-industrial applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226156 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
Packaged design consolidates the ACH580 drive inside a UL (NEMA) Type 1/12/3R enclosure with a door-mounted disconnect and fusing or a control breaker. This integration reduces field wiring, shortens panel space planning, and simplifies safety approvals during commissioning. It is especially beneficial for retrofit projects and new HVAC installations where space is tight and regulatory compliance is non-negotiable. Broad horsepower coverage from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V gives engineers a single device that scales from small fans to large pumps without changing control strategies. The broad sizing reduces spare-part inventories and speeds procurement for building automation projects, improving project flow and lifecycle cost. Integral input disconnect switch is padlockable in the OFF position and combined with electronic motor overload protection enhances electrical safety and equipment protection. Quick fault isolation minimizes downtime during maintenance, while the compact enclosure limits access to energized parts, supporting safer service windows. With local and remote control by a door-mounted graphical display and serial communications capability, integration with building management systems and automation networks is streamlined. External control connections simplify wiring to sensors, VFDs, and PLCs, reducing commissioning time and improving monitoring accuracy. Designed for HVAC applications in commercial and light-industrial facilities, the ACH580 Packaged Drive delivers energy-efficient motor control, consistent process variables, and predictable performance. Its integrated protections and compact form factor address objections about safety, reliability, and total cost of ownership, helping teams meet performance targets while minimizing installation risk. It also supports quick field replacement with common spare parts, and ABB’s service network helps sustain long-term protection and upgrades.
