Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226298 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
Integrated packaged drive with door-mounted input disconnect and fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker simplifies installation, reduces field wiring, and enhances safety in HVAC equipment rooms. This translates to faster project timelines and lower on-site risk when servicing air handlers and rooftop units. The business impact is clear: fewer wiring mistakes, quicker commissioning, and improved initial compliance, enabling faster startup of HVAC plants. The drive includes a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display for local control, which accelerates commissioning, reduces commissioning labor, and lowers the need for external programming tools. In practice, maintenance teams can adjust settings on-site, saving valuable downtime during seasonal changes or retrofits. The system supports 230/460/575 V power and a broad 1–350 hp range, enabling seamless upgrades or standardization across facilities without costly electrical rewiring. This compatibility supports enterprise-wide standardization and lowers total cost of ownership. Serial communications capability facilitates integration with DCS/SCADA and building management systems, delivering reliable remote monitoring and control while reducing wiring complexity and potential data gaps. The enclosure options (UL Type 1, with 12/3R variants) provide indoor or outdoor-suitable configurations, improving site safety and regulatory alignment. The built-in electronic motor overload protection helps prevent unexpected motor faults, reducing repair costs and extending motor life. Finally, the packaged design minimizes downtime during maintenance and service, delivering measurable energy management and reliability advantages for commercial HVAC deployments.
