Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226169 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 combines an ACH580 motor drive inside a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure with a door-mounted input disconnect, simplifying wiring and reducing installation time. This translates to lower on-site labor costs and fewer potential wiring errors during commissioning, which is critical for complex HVAC runs such as large air handling units and exhaust systems. With options for either fast-acting fuses or an input circuit breaker, it offers flexible protection tailored to plant safety policies and local electrical codes, improving fault reliability and minimizing downtime. The device supports 1 to 350 horsepower across 230/460/575 V networks, enabling precise speed control for fans and pumps while delivering energy savings through optimized motor operation. A built-in electronic overload protection reduces motor stress, extending equipment life and lowering maintenance costs. The door-mounted control panel with a graphical display accelerates setup and commissioning, while external control connections and serial communications ensure smooth integration into industrial control architectures. These features collectively address common objections about added upfront cost by delivering faster installation, safer operation, reduced energy use, and a clearer path to a lower total cost of ownership. In practice, HVAC installers benefit from a modular, scalable solution that aligns with industry standards, supports retrofits, and minimizes field wiring complexity, giving engineers confidence in reliability and long-term performance for critical airside and chilled-water applications.

FAQs
The 3AUA0000226169 is designed as a packaged ACH580-based drive in a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure, suitable for mainstream HVAC setups. It supports 230/460/575 V supply, 1–350 hp sizing, a door-mounted disconnect, external control connections, and serial communications, enabling straightforward replacement or retrofit in air handlers, fans, and pumps without extensive wiring changes.
Key specs include 1–350 hp capability at 230/460/575 V, a 65 A current rating for the 50 hp class, and protection options via fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker. It features electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel, and serial communications, allowing both local and remote control for precise motor management on HVAC equipment.
Yes. The ultracompact ACH580-based packaged drive is ideal for HVAC equipment such as air handling units, fans, and circulating pumps. Its integrated disconnect, protection features, and motor-control capabilities support smooth speed modulation, energy savings, and reliable operation in air- and water-based HVAC loops across commercial and industrial facilities.
The unit is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations. These certifications support compliance with safety and building automation requirements in diverse environments, ensuring safe operation, easy maintenance, and compatibility with standard electrical codes for HVAC installations.
The packaged drive reduces installation labor and wiring complexity, shortens commissioning time, and lowers field failure risk. Energy-efficient motor control minimizes running costs, while built-in protections and centralized control simplify maintenance scheduling. Over the equipment lifecycle, these factors combine to lower total cost of ownership for HVAC systems, especially in retrofit projects or facilities with multiple air-handling units and pumps.
