ABB 3AUA0000227308 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000227308
Quick Summary
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is an HVAC motor controller designed for packaged HVAC systems in commercial buildings. Engineers frequently contend with integration, space, and safety when combining drive, disconnect, and protection in compact enclosures. UL-listed hardware supports reliable performance, with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure options enabling indoor protective packaging for a range of service conditions. While CE marking and IP-rated variants may vary by region, selecting this packaged drive aligns with global compliance objectives and simplifies procurement. The drive's integrated features—electronic overload protection and a door-mounted control panel with graphical display—reduce wiring complexity and expedite commissioning, translating to lower lifecycle costs and easier maintenance in modern building automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227308 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
Integrated input disconnect switch and protection provides safety and simplifies wiring within the packaged drive. The padlockable OFF capability reduces lockout complexity and minimizes external components. It’s particularly valuable for rooftop and mechanical room installations where fast isolation is required to meet safety and downtime targets. Enclosure options with UL/NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R configurations offer flexible protection for indoor HVAC environments. The result is a smaller, service-friendly footprint and enhanced protection against dust and moisture in accordance with installation codes. These enclosures are well-suited for vertical or confined spaces in commercial building automation projects. Broad horsepower and voltage range (1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V) covers a wide spectrum of HVAC motor loads. This scalability reduces the need for multiple drives across a project, lowering procurement complexity and spare parts inventories. It supports fans, pumps, and conveyors in large HVAC systems. Electronic motor overload protection protects motors and drives from fault conditions. This reduces unplanned downtime and extends motor life, contributing to improved overall equipment effectiveness. It also helps meet energy efficiency and protection standards for critical facilities. Door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local control and easy commissioning. The benefit is faster startup, intuitive parameter tuning, and reduced reliance on separate handheld programmers. On-site technicians can troubleshoot without a laptop, supporting commissioning in complex systems. Serial communications capability enables integration with plant networks and remote monitoring. This improves diagnostics, accelerates software updates, and enhances asset management across distributed HVAC installations. It supports fieldbus or Ethernet interfaces compatible with BAS/SCADA systems.

FAQs
Begin by confirming enclosure Type 1, 12, or 3R suitability for the installation. Mount the packaged drive in the selected enclosure, connect the input supply to 230/460/575 V as rated, and engage the door-mounted disconnect with OFF position for safe commissioning. Use the graphic control panel to set motor parameters, then verify correct protection settings and network integration for reliable operation.
Key specs include a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and selectable voltages of 230/460/575 V, plus electronic motor overload protection. Ensure proper wiring to the motor, confirm communication capability for control networks, and validate protection settings. Performance is optimized when the drive is matched to the motor and load profile, minimizing energy use and wear.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for packaged HVAC equipment, including rooftop units and large air handlers. Its compact enclosure options, integrated disconnect, and local control panel streamline installation in constrained spaces while providing reliable motor control and protection for demanding HVAC duty cycles.
The package is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures to fit indoor service conditions. While regional CE marking and IP ratings vary by location, the enclosure options support broad regulatory alignment and safer, code-compliant installations across multiple markets.
Consolidating drive, disconnect, and protection reduces wiring, cabinet footprint, and installation time, delivering lower upfront labor costs and faster commissioning. Electronic overload protection minimizes motor wear and downtime, while serial communications enable remote monitoring and updates, improving asset management and overall return on investment over the system’s life.
