ABB 3AUA0000226168 HVAC Drive - UL/NEMA Packaged
Part Number: 3AUA0000226168
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000226168 HVAC drive delivers packaged motor control for HVAC systems. It integrates a robust ACH580 drive within a UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure, including a door-mounted input disconnect. Facilities often struggle with wiring complexity and safety compliance during drive installation, leading to downtime and costly retrofits. This solution leverages UL-listed protection and rugged enclosure options to meet demanding environments, while enabling straightforward local control and external connectivity. By consolidating drive, protection, and control into a single enclosure, it reduces installation time, simplifies maintenance, and improves serviceability. The packaged design also supports building automation integration through serial communications, delivering reliable performance with reduced total cost of ownership for commercial and industrial HVAC projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226168 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 drive in a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure with a door-mounted input disconnect and fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker. This configuration streamlines safety compliance and reduces wiring complexity during installation, cutting commissioning time and limiting field errors. It’s particularly valuable for rooftop units and air handlers where space and serviceability matter most. Door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables local monitoring and adjustments without extra peripherals. The business impact is faster start-up, fewer trips for commissioning, and improved operator confidence. In practice, technicians can tune motor performance on site, optimize energy use, and verify status quickly in HVAC banks with minimal downtime. Input disconnect switch plus fast acting fuses or a circuit breaker provides clear electrical isolation and protective coordination. The result is enhanced safety, easier lockout/tagout procedures, and reduced risk of arc-flash incidents. This is especially important in retrofit projects where existing control cabinets must meet strict safety standards. Serial communications capability enables integration with building automation systems, SCADA, or PLC networks. The business benefit is remote monitoring, predictive maintenance, and centralized oversight, which lowers service costs and improves mean time between failures. Applications include large-scale commercial complexes and manufacturing plants that require reliable data exchange for energy management. Broad horsepower and voltage coverage 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V provides a single platform for multiple HVAC motors. This reduces part diversity, simplifies spares, and streamlines procurement. Engineers can standardize drives across equipment lines, improving maintenance planning and achieving more consistent efficiency gains across compressors, fans, and pumps. Electronic motor overload protection, a robust enclosure, and compatibility with external control connections create a durable, maintainable drive solution. The system supports localized and remote control through serial interfaces, easing installation in tight spaces and enabling modern energy-management strategies. For OEMs and integrators, the packaged drive lowers total installed cost while delivering reliable, steady performance.
