ABB ACH580-PDR-240A-4+B056 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000226292
Quick Summary
ACH580-PDR-240A-4+B056 is a packaged HVAC drive that optimizes motor control in commercial and industrial HVAC systems. By integrating drive electronics, a local disconnect, and protective features in a single cabinet, it reduces wiring complexity and field wiring errors during installation. With UL listing for US installations and a choice of NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure, it supports both harsh environments and clean mechanical areas. Its electronic motor overload protection, door-mounted control panel with graphical display, and serial communication options streamline setup, commissioning, and remote monitoring, while maintaining robust safety. Designed for 230/460/575 V systems and HP ranges from 1 to 350, it delivers energy-efficient performance, easy maintenance, and scalable control for HVAC fans, pumps, and conveyors.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226292 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
The packaged design consolidates drive electronics, input disconnect switch, and protective fusing or circuit breaker into one cabinet, reducing panel count and simplifying installation for HVAC retrofit projects. This translates to tangible time and space savings on site, faster commissioning, and lower installation risk. It also enhances safety by providing a padlockable input disconnect and clearly grouped protections, making it easier to meet local codes during service and maintenance. The ACH580-PDR-240A-4+B056 supports 1 to 350 horsepower across 230/460/575 V supplies, delivering scalable performance for a wide range of HVAC fans, pumps, and air-handling equipment. This flexibility helps facilities align motor control with load profiles, improving energy efficiency and lifecycle cost. The electronic motor overload protection provides precise protection curves and fault reporting, reducing motor wear and unplanned downtime. In practice, technicians benefit from the door-mounted control panel with a graphical display for fast parameter changes, testing, and on-site tuning, shortening commissioning cycles and enabling quicker troubleshooting. External control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with plant automation and BMS, supporting remote monitoring, so energy use and motor health can be tracked across the facility. Compatibility with 230/460/575 V three-phase supplies, multiple enclosure options, and built-in protection features makes this drive well suited for modern HVAC architectures, rooftop units, air handlers, and process cooling loops, while delivering predictable performance and reduced total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Begin with site preparation to ensure a clean, temperature-controlled cabinet. Mount the packaged drive in the designated enclosure, connect the door-mounted control panel for local control, and wire the input disconnect switch and fuses or circuit breaker per code. Verify external control connections for PLC/SCADA integration and configure serial communications for remote monitoring. After wiring, perform a commissioning sequence using the graphical display and confirm motor parameters, ensuring proper protection settings are in place to meet safety and efficiency targets.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports a wide range from 1 to 350 horsepower and operates on three-phase supplies of 230, 460, or 575 V. It is designed to deliver up to a 200 A rating, with enclosure options that suit UL Type 1, and NEMA 12 or 3R environments, providing flexibility for HVAC equipment like fans, pumps, and conveyors across various installation sites.
Yes. The packaged drive is specifically geared for HVAC applications such as fans, pumps, and air-handling equipment. Its integrated disconnect, motor overload protection, and graphical local control panel simplify HVAC motor control, improve energy efficiency through smooth speed control, and support reliable operation in both new installations and retrofits with varying horsepower and voltage requirements.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive features UL listing for US installations and NEMA Type 1 enclosure options (with 12 and 3R variants). It includes electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted control panel with graphical display for local control. The unit offers provisions for external control connections and serial communications, enabling robust safety, compliance, and integration with plant automation systems.
You can expect reduced maintenance due to integrated protections and a simplified wiring scheme that lowers installation and servicing time. The compact, single-cabinet design saves space and simplifies space planning, while soft-start and precise speed control improve energy efficiency and reduce peak loads. Over the life of the equipment, these factors translate to lower total cost of ownership and a quicker return on investment through minimized downtime and easier upgrades or expansions.
