Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226295 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 input circuit breaker – Benefit: Ensures code-compliant safety and simplifies startup and maintenance, enabling faster commissioning on HVAC projects and reducing field wiring errors. Application: Ideal for commercial rooftop units and large air handling applications where safe, code-compliant isolation is required. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display – Benefit: Local control and quick diagnostics without opening the enclosure, improving uptime and technician efficiency. Application: On-site troubleshooting and routine adjustments in busy service environments. Feature: Wide horsepower and voltage range – Benefit: Scales from 1 to 350 hp and supports 230/460/575 V, enabling a single footprint to serve diverse HVAC motors. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds across commercial and light industrial facilities. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection – Benefit: Protects motors from thermal stress and undesired stalls, reducing wear and extending motor life. Application: Critical for consistent compressor and fan operation under variable loads. Feature: Serial communications capability and external control provisions – Benefit: Enables integration with building management systems and third-party controllers, streamlining automation and monitoring. Application: Centralized HVAC plant control and remote diagnostics. Feature: UL/NEMA packaged enclosure options (Type 1, 12, 3R) – Benefit: Robust protection against dust, moisture, and environmental contaminants, improving reliability in diverse installation environments. Application: Outdoor and indoor installations in varying climates. Insight: The ACH580 packaged approach reduces panel depth and wiring complexity, supporting faster installation in retrofits and new builds.

FAQs
When installing the ACH580 Packaged Drive, plan for a UL-listed enclosure or direct mounting in a Type 1, 12, or 3R environment. Ensure a door-mounted disconnect is accessible and padlockable in OFF, with proper fusing or a circuit breaker as specified. Verify 1–350 hp compatibility and 230/460/575 V supply, and provide adequate space for ventilation and cable management to facilitate service and future upgrades.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive delivers precise motor control via variable-speed operation, reducing fan and pump energy consumption during part-load conditions. Its electronic overload protection minimizes motor overheating, while the built-in control panel enables quick parameter adjustments. Coupled with remote control options and serial communications, it supports tighter automation and optimized scheduling for HVAC systems.
Yes. The drive supports motors across 1 to 350 hp and operates at 230/460/575 V, aligning with common HVAC motors. Its external control connections and serial communications capability allow integration with building management systems and third-party controllers, facilitating seamless retrofits and scalable automation without extensive rewiring.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, providing robust protection and compliance with standard electrical safety codes.
