Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226287 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 → Business Impact → Application: The packaged drive includes a door-mounted input disconnect switch with padlockable OFF and fast acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. This arrangement simplifies compliance with site safety policies and accelerates maintenance shutdowns in busy mechanical rooms, reducing downtime during service windows. It is ideal for new installations and retrofits in commercial HVAC where space is at a premium and safety controls must be clearly accessible. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection guards both the motor and the drive from overheating and electrical faults, extending equipment life and minimizing unplanned outages. This is particularly valuable for variable torque HVAC loads where motor heating rises during peak demand periods. Use case: air handling units and chilled water pumps where reliability and thermal resilience are essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables fast local commissioning, fault tracing, and parameter adjustments without remote laptops. This reduces commissioning time, accelerates operator training, and improves ongoing tune-ups in manufacturing facilities and large facilities management projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Provisions for external control connections and serial communications provide seamless integration with building automation systems and PLC/SCADA networks. This enables centralized monitoring, remote diagnostics, and coordinated energy-management strategies across multiple packaged drives. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports a broad horsepower range—from 1 to 350 hp—and voltages of 230/460/575 V within UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure variants. This scalability allows a single drive family to cover diverse HVAC applications, reducing inventory and simplifying upgrades. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Compatibility with standard HVAC electrical cabinets and motor controls minimizes engineering risk and accelerates project timelines. It also offers reduced wiring complexity and a compact footprint, delivering cost savings in new builds or retrofits and enabling easier maintenance planning for facility managers.
