ABB ACH580-BCR-022A-6 HVAC packaged drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000226971
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 HVAC packaged drive is a versatile motor controller designed to optimize HVAC compressor and fan applications. Engineers often contend with downtime during bypass operation and wiring complexity in tight electrical rooms. Key certifications and standards include UL listing with NEMA Type 1, Type 12 or Type 3R enclosures, along with integrated overload protection. In practice, this drives faster commissioning and safer maintenance, delivering energy efficiency and predictable performance for building systems. Operators benefit from the graphical local control panel and remote connectivity, enabling rapid tuning, fault diagnosis, and simplified commissioning in new-build or retrofit projects. This model supports a broad voltage range and scalable horsepower, aligning with both retrofit upgrades and new HVAC installations to reduce total cost of ownership.
