Part Number: 3AUA0000226159
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580-PCR-240A-4+B056 HVAC drive provides reliable variable-speed control for HVAC equipment in commercial and industrial environments. Engineers and procurement teams frequently struggle with space constraints, wiring complexity, and downtime during drive installation and commissioning. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and can include an input disconnect with fast-acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. It covers 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, delivering integrated protection and local control without sacrificing performance. By combining a door-mounted control panel, electronic motor overload protection, and serial communications, it reduces integration effort, speeds commissioning, and supports scalable automation for HVAC systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226159 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 features a door-mounted input disconnect and optional fuse or circuit-breaker protection, which simplifies installation and enhances maintenance safety, reducing wiring errors during commissioning. This leads to faster startup times and safer, code-compliant installations in crowded mechanical rooms or rooftop units. It supports a broad voltage and horsepower range from 230 to 575 V and 1 to 350 hp, enabling you to standardize stock and retrofit multiple fan and pump motors without replacement drives. With electronic motor overload protection, the risk of motor damage is reduced, extending motor life and lowering unexpected repair costs across seasonal HVAC cycles. A door-mounted graphical control panel delivers local start/stop, parameter access, and diagnostics, speeding troubleshooting and reducing dependence on external control cabinets. External control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with building automation systems, SCADA, and remote monitoring, supporting scalable, Industry 4.0–readiness for modern facilities. The enclosure options of UL Type 1, 12, or 3R ensure appropriate protection for indoor environments, rooftop mechanical rooms, or damp basements, supporting faster approvals and simplified maintenance while meeting regulatory expectations. By combining these features into a single packaged drive, operators gain a compact, reliable, and compliant motor-control solution that minimizes installation footprint and total cost of ownership for HVAC applications.
