ABB ACH580-PCR-156A-4+B056 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000226157
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-PCR-156A-4+B056 Packaged Drive is a configurable HVAC drive for commercial and industrial climate control. It consolidates the drive, disconnect, control panel, and protection into a single, door-mounted enclosure, reducing wiring errors and commissioning time. This approach minimizes field wiring, speeds installation, and improves safety by providing a padlockable OFF disconnect and integrated fault protection. Key certifications and standards include UL listing for US installations and a NEMA Type 1 (with optional Type 12 or 3R configurations), ensuring reliable performance in varied environments. With support for 230/460/575 V and a broad 1 to 350 hp range, the unit fits a wide array of HVAC drives, pumps, and air-handling applications while enabling remote control and data exchange via serial connections.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226157 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 input disconnect switch and fast-acting protection are built into the Packaged Drive, reducing field wiring and cabinet space while speeding initial wiring checks. This single-source configuration lowers installation labor and minimizes the risk of mis-wired disconnects, which is critical for commissioning HVAC equipment. The broad horsepower and voltage coverage from 1 to 350 hp across 230/460/575 V provides flexibility to address varying cooling loads without swapping drives, decreasing spare-part inventories and simplifying lifecycle management for building automation projects. Electronic motor overload protection offers precise motor protection and smoother starts, reducing thermal stress on motors and extending equipment life, while minimizing nuisance trips during voltage transients common in HVAC applications. The door-mounted graphical control panel enables rapid local commissioning and fault diagnostics, eliminating the need for separate programming laptops in many cases. Serial communications enable straightforward integration with BAS/SCADA and other control systems for centralized monitoring, improving maintenance planning and energy reporting. Enclosure versatility of UL Type 1, 12, or 3R configurations supports indoor, outdoor, or constrained spaces, simplifying procurement and regulatory compliance. External control connections and network readiness support modern automation architectures, easing retrofit projects and ensuring compatibility with common industry protocols.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed to replace separate drives, disconnects, and control panels in one enclosure. It supports 230/460/575 V input, a wide hp range (1–350 hp), and UL/NEMA Type 1 configurations, making it compatible with many air handlers, rooftop units, and packaged cooling systems. Field wiring is minimized because the integrated disconnect and protection are pre-assembled, reducing commissioning time and wiring errors.
This model supports 230/460/575 V operation, with a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and a current rating up to 156 A (PCR-156A variant). It includes electronic motor overload protection and an integrated input disconnect. The drive is delivered in a UL-listed, NEMA Type 1 (with options for Type 12 or 3R) enclosure, making it suitable for varied installation environments.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is specifically intended for HVAC applications, including air handling units, packaged rooftop units, and cooling pumps. Its integrated protections, local control panel, and serial communications simplify commissioning, enable reliable motor control, and support centralized monitoring, which translates to improved system performance and energy efficiency.
The device is UL-listed for US installations and is offered in NEMA Type 1 enclosures, with optional Type 12 or 3R configurations. This combination provides regulatory compliance and appropriate enclosure protection for indoor and certain outdoor environments, aligning with common industry requirements for HVAC equipment control panels.
The packaged drive reduces commissioning time, simplifies spare-part management, and lowers wiring errors, contributing to faster project starts and reduced labor costs. Its electronic overload protection minimizes motor wear and unplanned outages, while serial communications enable predictive maintenance and energy monitoring, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s lifecycle.
