ABB 3AUA0000227296 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1/12/3R
Part Number: 3AUA0000227296
Quick Summary
ACH580 Packaged Drive is an HVAC drive that controls commercial and light industrial motors. Engineers often struggle with space, wiring complexity, and safety when integrating drives in compact mechanical rooms. This solution ships in a UL (NEMA) Type 1/12/3R enclosure, includes a door-mounted input disconnect, and provides electronic motor overload protection. With local graphical control, external control connections, and serial communications, it streamlines commissioning and integration, delivering reliability and operational efficiency. For procurement teams, the ability to source 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V simplifies stocking and reduces supplier fragmentation.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227296 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.
Packaged enclosure with door-mounted input disconnect and fast-acting drive fuses reduces panel wiring and eliminates separate disconnect installations. The business impact is safer, faster setup with padlockable OFF positions, improving compliance with lockout/tagout procedures. Application: HVAC fan, pump, and compressor motor control in constrained mechanical rooms. The 1 to 350 hp range at 230/460/575 V ensures broad compatibility across project scopes, reducing the need to stock multiple drives and simplifying procurement. This translates to lower inventory costs and faster project turnover in building services projects. Electronic motor overload protection guards motor windings and drive electronics, decreasing unplanned downtime and extending motor life in variable load HVAC duty cycles. Local incidents of faults are minimized, supporting maintenance teams with clearer fault isolation. The door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables fast local commissioning and troubleshooting in environments with noise or dust. Serial communications capability enables seamless integration with building automation systems and OEM controllers for remote monitoring and performance optimization. The padlockable OFF position strengthens safety during service and maintenance, aligning with safety programs and regulatory expectations.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures, offering a door-mounted input disconnect and integrated protection. This provides installation flexibility for mechanical rooms, rooftops, or industrial spaces while meeting common safety and environmental requirements.
Key specs include 1 to 350 hp capability and input voltages of 230/460/575 V. It features an input disconnect with fast-acting drive fuses and electronic motor overload protection, enabling safe operation and reliable performance across HVAC duty cycles.
Yes. The device is purpose-built for HVAC duty, providing smooth speed control for fans, pumps, and compressors in commercial buildings and light industrial facilities, with protections and controls tuned for these loads.
The unit is UL-listed (NEMA) and supports multiple enclosure configurations (Type 1, 12, 3R). It includes a door-mounted input disconnect with padlockable OFF, electronic motor overload protection, and a graphical display for local control, enhancing safety and compliance.
ROI comes from reduced installation time, fewer components due to an integrated disconnect, and improved reliability with overload protection. Maintenance focuses on periodic inspection of fuses, connections, and the control panel; remote diagnostics via serial communications help identify issues before downtime occurs.
