ABB ACH580-PCR-032A-6 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000227293
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-PCR-032A-6 packaged drive provides precise motor speed control for HVAC systems. Facility operators seek reliable, scalable speed control to cut energy use and reduce wear in variable-air-volume applications. The unit offers UL-listed safety, plus optional NEMA enclosure types Type 1, 12, or 3R to match installation harshness and location. It includes a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display, a built-in input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, and serial communications for centralized control. By combining motor overload protection with local and remote control options, it delivers predictable performance, easier compliance, and lower total cost of ownership for service teams and OEMs in commercial HVAC and process cooling.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227293 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.
Paragraph 1: Packaging design simplifies installation and maintenance. The integrated input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses reduces field wiring and enables safe lockout, protecting personnel during servicing. The UL/NEMA packaged enclosure options ensure the drive is appropriate for a range of installation locations, from indoor equipment rooms to outdoor enclosures. Paragraph 2: The ACH580-Packaged Drive covers 1 to 350 hp and 230/460/575 V, allowing a single drive family to support a spectrum of HVAC motors. This reduces spare parts inventory and accelerates project timelines for contractors and OEMs. The ability to scale from small fans to large compressors translates into lower total cost of ownership over the system life. Paragraph 3: Electronic motor overload protection guards both motor windings and drive components, decreasing motor burnout risk in variable load profiles. This protection, combined with precise speed control, yields energy savings through reduced current and smoother motor operation. These features also support reliability in critical cooling and ventilation applications. Paragraph 4: The door-mounted control panel with a graphical display provides quick access to status, faults, and parameter adjustments, enabling faster commissioning. Local control complements building management integration by offering a straightforward, human-friendly interface. The drive also supports external control connections and serial communications for remote monitoring and control. Paragraph 5: UL-listed safety plus NEMA enclosure options Type 1/12/3R give users confidence in regulatory compliance and installation resilience. The packaged approach reduces coordination with panel builders, simplifies wiring schemes, and shortens start-up times. In practice, technicians report faster fault diagnosis and easier preventive maintenance.
