Engineers often confront the challenge of integrating a safe input disconnect and protective fuses within cramped control panels. This drive is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures with a door-mounted control panel for local operation, while providing electronic motor overload protection. By combining protection, accessibility, and communications in one package, it reduces commissioning time and simplifies maintenance. Suitable for 230/460/575 V systems, it supports 1 to 350 hp, making it a versatile choice for energy-efficient HVAC applications and streamlined procurement.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227300 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.
Integrated packaged drive combines the ACH580 with an input disconnect or circuit breaker, reducing field wiring and saving panel space. The business impact is faster commissioning, safer energization, and fewer fault conditions caused by miswired disconnects. Applications include HVAC equipment such as air handling units and rooftop units where compact installation and local control are critical. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against overload trips, reducing wear and unscheduled downtime. This feature delivers faster fault diagnosis via the door-mounted control interface and aids preventive maintenance planning. Use cases include large fans and pumps in commercial and industrial HVAC, where consistent motor protection translates to longer equipment life. With a wide voltage and horsepower footprint—230/460/575 V and 1–350 hp—the ACH580 packaged drive eliminates the need for multiple SKUs. The result is simplified procurement, fewer spare parts, and faster startup. This capability is especially valuable in retrofit projects where existing infrastructure dictates voltage and loading ranges. Serial communications capability and external control connections enable straightforward integration with building management systems, remote monitoring, and secure staging of drive parameters. Engineers can tune settings from a central dashboard, support trend logging, and implement energy-saving strategies across multiple HVAC units. UL Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosure options, along with a door-mounted graphical control panel, simplify installation and servicing in varying environments. Built-in fast-acting drive fuses provide protection in the field, while the enclosure protects electronics from dust and moisture—reducing time to compliance and site risk. Overall, the ACH580-Packaged Drive delivers energy-efficient performance, faster commissioning, and safer operation for HVAC workflows, helping projects meet schedules and budgets while lowering lifecycle costs.

FAQs
The ACH580 packaged drive mounts inside a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure and includes a door-mounted control panel for local operation. Installers should connect the input disconnect or circuit breaker with the built-in fuses and wire external control connections as specified. This design reduces field wiring and simplifies commissioning, while maintaining safe access to the drive and control interface.
This variant supports 230/460/575 V input and covers a broad load range from 1 up to 350 hp. The PCR-144A-6 model specifically provides 150 HP at 575 V, enabling a single SKU to handle multiple HVAC loads and simplify procurement.
The ACH580-Packaged Drive includes electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses. It also provides a safe, door-mounted control panel for local control and a UL-listed enclosure option, which together reduce risk during installation and maintenance while meeting standard safety requirements for HVAC equipment.
Yes. The drive offers serial communications capability and external control connections, allowing integration with common BMS platforms for remote monitoring, parameter tuning, and coordinated energy-saving strategies across multiple HVAC assets.
The ACH580 packaged drive is available in UL Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures. These options protect the drive electronics from dust and moisture in indoor environments while providing accessible, safe local control via the door-mounted panel, reducing site risk and simplifying compliance.
