Part Number: 3AUA0000227291
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000227291 Packaged Drive enables reliable HVAC motor control for fan and pump applications. Engineers often struggle to balance energy efficiency with protection and easy integration in a compact footprint. UL-listed and a NEMA Type 1 enclosure support dependable indoor deployment, while the input disconnect and electronic overload protection simplify compliance. A door-mounted graphical control panel, external control connections, and serial communications enable scalable integration with modern building automation. With 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, this packaged drive reduces inventory, speeds commissioning, and supports retrofit or new-install HVAC projects. In practice, technicians value straightforward wiring and fewer components for faster field service.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227291 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.

FAQs
The installation uses a door-mounted input disconnect inside a UL Type 1 enclosure and requires standard three-phase 230/460/575 V supply. Wire the drive per the ACH580 wiring diagrams, connect external control signals, and enable the door lockout feature for safety. Verify fusing and fusing protection are in place to meet local codes before commissioning.
The system supports 1 to 350 hp with input voltages of 230/460/575 V. This enables flexible control for HVAC motors, including fans and pumps, across a wide range of commercial equipment. It provides electronic overload protection and scalable performance for consistent motor speed regulation and energy efficiency.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for HVAC applications, combining protection, local control, and remote communications in a compact enclosure. Its features optimize fan/pump control, improve energy efficiency, and simplify integration with building automation systems, making it suitable for retrofit and new-install projects in commercial facilities.
The drive is UL-listed and installed in a UL Type 1 enclosure with a door-mounted input disconnect. It includes electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses. These features support compliance with indoor installation standards and enhance safety during commissioning and operation.
Maintenance is streamlined by integrated overload protection and a graphical local display for diagnostics, reducing field service time. ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized motor control, faster commissioning due to pre-integrated hardware, and reduced spare parts due to a single packaged solution for multiple horsepower ratings.
