Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227295 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.
The packaged drive includes a door-mounted input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses, reducing wiring complexity and improving on-site safety while meeting lockout/tagout requirements. Business impact: faster commissioning, safer maintenance, and reduced panel footprint for cleaner install layouts in mechanical rooms and equipment rooms. Application: HVAC units, air handlers, and packaged equipment where compact, code-compliant power conversion is essential.With 1 to 350 hp rating at 230/460/575 V, the ACH580 Packaged Drive provides scalable motor control for varying load profiles. Business impact: minimizes inventory, lowers lifecycle costs, and simplifies spare parts management across multiple projects. Application: multi-tenant facilities, commercial buildings, and industrial HVAC networks requiring flexible drive sizing.Electronic motor overload protection is built-in, protecting motors and drives from fault-induced damage and reducing downtime. Business impact: improved equipment reliability and reduced maintenance costs. Application: critical cooling loops and process air handling where uptime is non-negotiable.The included door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local control and quick commissioning, while provisions for external control connections and serial communications support remote diagnostics and integration with BAS/automation systems. Business impact: faster start-ups, easier integration, and enhanced visibility for operators. Application: centralized monitoring and automated control in modern HVAC plants.Compatibility and installation advantages come from the UL (NEMA) Type 1/12/3R enclosure options and built-in fuses, enabling a compact, code-compliant installation with fewer separate components. Business impact: reduced cabinet space, fewer components to source, and improved overall project timelines. Application: retrofit or new-build HVAC projects with strict safety and enclosure requirements.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and includes a door-mounted input disconnect (padlockable OFF) with fast-acting drive fuses. This simplifies wiring, enhances safety, and supports lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance, reducing field wiring time and potential compliance issues.
The unit covers 1 to 350 hp with input voltages of 230/460/575 V. For the example configuration, the 5 HP rating corresponds to approximately 6.1 A at 575 V, and the drive supports scalable sizing across similar voltage grades, allowing a single family to serve diverse HVAC loads and equipment with consistent control performance.
Yes, it is purpose-built for HVAC applications, delivering controlled motor speed and torque to fans and blowers. By integrating the drive, disconnect, and protection in a single enclosure, it reduces energy losses, improves start-up behavior, and supports smoother speed profiles, contributing to energy efficiency and reduced lifecycle costs in building systems.
The package is UL-listed with NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options, includes an input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, and provides electronic motor overload protection. These features assure electrical safety, protection against short circuits, and compliance with typical building and industrial electrical standards.
The integrated approach reduces cabinet space, minimizes wiring, and simplifies commissioning, which shortens project timelines and lowers installation labor. The built-in protection reduces motor and drive faults, lowering downtime. Over time, the consolidation of components translates to lower spare parts inventory and predictable maintenance costs, enhancing ROI for HVAC deployments.
