ABB ACH580-PDR-04A8-4 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000226281
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-PDR-04A8-4 Packaged Drive is a HVAC motor drive designed to regulate fans and compressors in commercial HVAC systems. When commissioning, engineers often struggle with coordinating a drive, disconnects, and a local control panel in tight spaces, risking wiring errors and delays. This solution provides UL-listed protection with a UL/NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure, combining a door-mounted input disconnect, rugged construction, and ready-to-use control interfaces to simplify installation. By integrating motor protection, control, and communications in one unit, it delivers measurable business value through reduced downtime, faster commissioning, and improved system reliability. The packaged drive also supports scalable automation, aligning with energy-efficiency initiatives and building-management integration.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226281 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: Integrated input disconnect switch with fast-acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. Business Impact: Simplifies wiring and enhances safety during installation and maintenance. Application: HVAC packaged drives where rapid isolation is required for service or emergencies. The ability to consolidate disconnects reduces panel fabrication time and minimizes field wiring errors, translating to shorter project cycles and lower labor costs. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display. Business Impact: Enables local commissioning and troubleshooting without extra equipment. Application: On-site adjustments for fans, pumps, and compressors in commercial buildings. This improves first-start success and reduces commissioning delays in variable-speed HVAC applications. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection. Business Impact: Protects expensive motors and extends equipment life. Application: Screw, scroll, or centrifugal fans within HVAC systems. Industry experience shows reduced motor burnouts and maintenance intervals when electronic overload is active. Feature: Wide horsepower and voltage support (1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V). Business Impact: Flexibility to scale from small to large HVAC loads without changing drives. Application: Mixed-use facilities and data centers with diverse fan and pump requirements. Feature: Serial communications capability. Business Impact: Smooth integration with building automation systems and SCADA. Application: Central control in BAS environments, enabling remote monitoring and fault diagnostics. Feature: Available UL Type 1, Type 12, and Type 3R enclosure options. Business Impact: Safer operation in indoor and outdoor environments with appropriate protection levels. Application: Indoor mechanical rooms to outdoor installations with environmental constraints. Compatibility and installation advantages: This packaged solution reduces installation footprint, optimizes component compatibility, and accelerates startup while maintaining robust protection and control for HVAC motor loads.
