Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227292 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: Packaged enclosure with input disconnect and fast-acting drive fuses. Business Impact: Simplifies field wiring, reduces install time, and improves maintenance safety by providing a padlockable OFF disconnect. It also simplifies compliance audits because the disconnect is integral to the enclosure. Application: Well suited to commercial HVAC equipment, rooftop units, air handlers, and packaged systems where code-compliant isolation and quick service are essential. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection embedded in the ACH580 Packaged Drive. Business Impact: Protects motors from overload, reduces nuisance trips, and extends motor life, lowering repair costs. Application: Particularly valuable in variable-torque fans and pumps where rapid load changes occur in commercial buildings. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display and serial communications. Business Impact: Cuts commissioning time, simplifies troubleshooting, and enables remote monitoring via BMS integration. Application: On-site startup and ongoing control of HVAC motors with options for external control connections. Feature: Scalable horsepower and voltage range from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. Business Impact: Supports a broad set of equipment, reducing the need for multiple drives and simplifying procurement. Application: HVAC systems from small air handlers to large rooftop units in mid-to-large facilities. Feature: Energy-efficient motor control and safety-focused design. Business Impact: Improves energy intensity metrics, meets safety standards, and lowers total cost of ownership through reduced downtime and simpler maintenance. Application: Facilities pursuing energy rebates and steady, reliable performance across seasons.

FAQs
The ACH580-Packaged Drive is designed for UL-listed, NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures with an input disconnect. Begin by validating supply voltage (230/460/575 V) and horsepower range (1–350 hp), then mount in the enclosure with proper clearances. Connect control and power wiring per the installation manual, lock the disconnect, and perform basic parameter setup from the graphical panel.
Key specifications include 1 to 350 hp capability, 230/460/575 V input, electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted graphical control panel, and built-in input disconnect with fast-acting fuses. The drive supports serial communications for remote monitoring and integration with automation or BMS systems, enabling precise torque and speed control for HVAC loads.
Yes. The drive is purpose-built for HVAC equipment, delivering variable-speed control for fans and pumps with smooth starts, reduced energy use, and improved process stability. Its enclosure options and safety features meet commercial building requirements, while its scalable horsepower and voltage range support a wide variety of unit sizes and configurations.
The ACH580-Packaged Drive is designed for UL-listed operation in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and includes an input disconnect with padlockable OFF. Electronic overload protection, a graphical local control panel, and serial communications further support safe startup, maintenance, and integration with building automation systems.
Benefits include faster commissioning, reduced wiring complexity, improved motor protection, and lower downtime due to integrated overload protection and easy fault diagnosis on the graphical panel. Over time, energy savings from precise speed control and reduced maintenance costs contribute to a favorable total cost of ownership.
