ABB 3AUA0000227287 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000227287
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive is a versatile HVAC motor controller built in a ready-to-install enclosure. Engineers often struggle with wiring complexity, space limitations, and regulatory compliance when deploying variable speed drives for fans and pumps. UL-listed with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure options supports safe operation in demanding environments, while electronic motor overload protection guards critical equipment. Designed for 230/460/575 V systems, it simplifies integration and reduces total cost of ownership, enabling scalable HVAC control and easier maintenance with integrated protection and control features.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227287 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses. 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: Door-mounted input disconnect switch or circuit breaker simplifies safety procedures and lockout-tagout compliance. Benefit: Faster, safer commissioning and service access reduces downtime in critical HVAC applications. Application: Installed on packaged units or large air handlers where quick local isolation is required. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection provides precise torque and current limits. Benefit: Prolongs motor life and reduces unplanned outages in variable load environments. Application: Large fans and pumps subject to startup surges and shifting loads. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local setup and diagnostics. Benefit: Cuts on-site commissioning time and enhances operator usability. Application: Site-based adjustments without separate hand-held programmers. Feature: Integrated protection fuse arrangement with fast-acting drive fuses. Benefit: Enhanced short-circuit response and simplified spare part stowage for service teams. Application: Critical HVAC drives in maintenance-sensitive facilities. Feature: Compatibility with 230/460/575 V and 1–350 hp range. Benefit: Flexible deployment across multiple projects with fewer part numbers. Application: Retrofit and greenfield HVAC projects. Feature: Serial communications capability and external control connections support building management integration. Benefit: Seamless monitoring, remote control, and data collection for energy optimization. Application: Smart buildings and centralized HVAC control systems. Insight: In HVAC, enclosure-integrated, plug-and-play drives reduce field wiring, speed up start-up, and improve regulatory compliance in compressed timelines.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports 230/460/575 V supply options and is rated for 1 to 350 hp, making it suitable for a range of HVAC components such as large fans and pumps. This flexibility allows single-sourcing of drives for retrofit projects and simplifies procurement across multiple sites.
The door-mounted input disconnect switch (or circuit breaker) is padlockable in the OFF position, enabling immediate, safe isolation during maintenance. This design reduces lockout-tagout steps, shortens service windows, and improves compliance with safety standards in busy mechanical rooms and electrical closets.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for HVAC duty, providing integrated protection, local control, and communications to integrate with building management systems. Its enclosure variants and protective features support reliable operation in weather-exposed or noise-sensitive environments typical of air handling and pumping applications.
The drive is UL-listed and offered in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations. This combination supports safe operation in general indoor installations and more demanding environments, with enclosure choices aligned to installation location, service access, and environmental exposure considerations.
ROI benefits come from reduced wiring, faster commissioning, and improved motor protection reducing unplanned downtime. The integrated disconnect, fusing, and overload protection minimize spare parts and maintenance time, while remote and local control capabilities support energy optimization and easier system expansion over the life of the HVAC installation.
