ABB 3AUA0000226273 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL 50 HP 460V
Part Number: 3AUA0000226273
Quick Summary
ACH580 Packaged Drive is a compact HVAC motor controller for commercial building systems. Engineers often struggle with wiring complexity, safety concerns, and limited space when integrating drives into HVAC packages. UL-listed performance and enclosure options, including NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R, help ensure safe, compliant deployments. The solution combines a door-mounted input disconnect, electronic motor overload protection, and a graphical local control panel to simplify commissioning and maintenance, while enabling remote control via serial communications. Together these features reduce installation time, improve reliability, and support scalable energy efficiency across commercial HVAC applications. This makes it a strong choice for OEMs and retrofit projects seeking fast ROI.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226273 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses. 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.
Door-mounted input disconnect switches with fast-acting drive fuses improve safety and lockout integrity, allowing maintenance teams to isolate power quickly in demanding HVAC installations. This reduces accidental energization, speeds service, and supports code-compliant lockout/tagout in crowded mechanical rooms. For integrators, enclosure options simplify installation and ensure safe cable routing from the drive to field devices. Electronic motor overload protection prevents motor damage under heavy load and protects drive electronics during variable torque in fans and pumps. In practice, this lowers repair costs, extends motor life, and reduces downtime during peak operation. Design teams gain clear safety margins and easier preventive maintenance documentation. The door-mounted graphical control panel provides local visibility, easy parameter setup, and quick access to alarms and diagnostics. This enables faster commissioning and troubleshooting, reducing the need for external handheld programmers. Operators can monitor performance trends and adjust settings for better energy efficiency. Serial communications and external control connections enable integration with building management systems and remote monitoring. For retrofit projects, this minimizes wiring, supports centralized control, and improves lifecycle efficiency through diagnostics and updates. Compatibility with BACnet and Modbus networks aids rapid adoption. Broad power and voltage range—1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V—offers flexibility across HVAC applications from small fans to large pumps. This reduces spare-part diversity, simplifies procurement, and speeds deployment in mixed fleets. Engineers gain procurement efficiency and shorter lead times. UL Type 1/12/3R packaged enclosure and compact footprint simplify installation in mechanical rooms and rooftops. Protecting packaging enhances durability in dusty environments and supports safety inspections. This packaging also helps meet industry standards for serviceability and reduces total lifecycle costs.
