ABB 3AUA0000226276 Motors & Drives - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000226276
Quick Summary
Packaged Drive is ABB's integrated HVAC drive that optimizes motor speed control for building ventilation and climate systems. This solution reduces panel complexity and wiring by combining drive, protection, and disconnect functionality in a single enclosure. UL listing with NEMA enclosure options supports regulatory compliance, while broader markets often require CE marking and IP-rated variants for worldwide deployment. By consolidating control and protection, the ACH580 Packaged Drive delivers faster commissioning and reduced field wiring. In practice, this means lower installation costs, easier maintenance, and improved reliability for HVAC applications, pumps, and fans through robust integration with building automation and remote monitoring.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226276 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 Packaged Drive arrives in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure with an input disconnect switch and fast acting drive fuses, reducing required panel space and wiring complexity while improving safety. This directly lowers installation time and wiring costs, making it ideal for rooftop units and mechanical rooms where space is at a premium. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, accommodating a wide range of HVAC motors from small air handlers to larger fans and pumps, which translates to lower spare parts inventory and seamless scalability across projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display allow fast commissioning and local control, decreasing downtime during setup and service. Feature → Business Impact → Application: External control connections and serial communications capability enable straightforward integration with building management systems (BMS) and automation networks, simplifying remote monitoring and fault diagnostics. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The packaged design includes door-mounted disconnect with padlockable OFF position, enhancing service safety and compliance during maintenance windows, especially in occupied facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The combination of protective fuses and built-in protection reduces motor wear and energy waste, contributing to regulated energy usage and longer motor life across HVAC applications.
