Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227303 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with either an input disconnect switch and fast acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. 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 → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 packaged drive includes a door-mounted input disconnect with padlockable OFF position, enhancing safety compliance and maintenance control, which reduces lockout/tagout risk during service in commercial buildings and industrial facilities. This directly supports safer HVAC commissioning and ongoing operation for air handlers and cooling fans. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection protects motors and drives from overload events, lowering unplanned downtime and extending equipment life, especially in variable load conditions common to fans and pumps in data centers and manufacturing floors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit integrates an input disconnect switch with either fast-acting fuses or an input circuit breaker, simplifying electrical wiring and meeting NEC-style safety requirements, enabling faster installation in retrofit projects for commercial rooftops and plant HVAC rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Type 1/NEMA enclosure options reduce cabinet modification needs and suit indoor environments, cutting installation time and improving regulatory alignment for space-constrained mechanical rooms. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display allows local configuration and monitoring, reducing downtime and enabling field technicians to adjust parameters on-site in hospitals, schools, or manufacturing facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability and external control connections enable seamless integration with building automation and PLC systems, supporting energy management initiatives and trending in large facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A broad horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and voltage options at 230/460/575 V provides a scalable solution that covers a wide array of HVAC applications from small fans to large pumps, delivering consistent performance and lowering total cost of ownership across multiple projects.
