Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226171 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
Feature: Packaged enclosure with door-mounted input disconnect simplifies installation and reduces enclosure footprint, while enhancing operator safety. Business impact: Faster, safer commissioning and fewer field-wiring errors translate to lower project cost and shorter time-to-commission. Application: Ideal for rooftop units and air handling systems where space is constrained and reliability is critical. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection guards motors during start-up and transient events, improving motor life and reducing maintenance cycles. Business impact: Lower maintenance costs and reduced unplanned downtime, supporting consistent HVAC performance. Application: Used in fans, pumps, and compressor drives across commercial buildings. Feature: Graphical control panel and local control capability enable intuitive setup and on-site troubleshooting. Business impact: Faster commissioning, reduced reliance on specialist technicians, and easier field adjustments. Application: On-site service rounds and commissioning of packaged drives in retrofit projects. Feature: External control connections and serial communications capability enable seamless integration with building management systems and PLCs. Business impact: Centralized monitoring, data-driven optimization, and scalable control architecture. Application: Integrated energy management and remote diagnostics in modern facilities. Feature: Wide horsepower and voltage range (1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V) provides scalable solutions for diverse HVAC loads. Business impact: Minimize part numbers, simplify procurement, and enable phased expansion. Application: From small AHUs to larger packaged units in mixed-use buildings.

FAQs
Begin with de-energizing the circuit and confirming supply voltage (230/460/575 V). Mount the packaged drive in the UL Type 1 enclosure, connect the door-mounted disconnect, and secure with the padlock when OFF. Wire the motor, control, and any external control connections, then power up and perform the initial parameter setup and testing per the installation manual.
Key specs include 1 to 350 hp rating, selectable 230/460/575 V input, UL Type 1 enclosure with optional circuit protection, a door-mounted input disconnect, electronic motor overload protection, a graphical local control panel, external control connections, and serial communications capability for networked control.
Yes. The packaged ACH580 drive is designed for HVAC systems, including air handling units and rooftop units, offering integrated protection, local control, and I/O for external devices. It reduces footprint and simplifies installation, while providing the reliability needed for continuous air conditioning and ventilation applications.
The solution includes electronic motor overload protection to prevent motor damage, an input disconnect (door-mounted and padlockable OFF), and protection features built into the drive to manage fault conditions. These protections help minimize downtime and extend equipment life in demanding HVAC environments.
Expect reduced commissioning time due to an integrated enclosure, fewer field components, and improved reliability from motor overload protection. Energy performance improves through precise motor speed control, while centralized control and easier maintenance lower lifecycle costs and support faster return on investment.
