Part Number: 3AUA0000227311
Quick Summary
The ACH580 Packaged Drive from ABB delivers precise variable-speed control for HVAC fans and pumps in commercial and industrial buildings. Upgrading drives often disrupts operation, complicates wiring, and delays projects; this packaged solution reduces downtime and simplifies installation. It carries UL-listed protection with a NEMA/UL Type 1 enclosure, integrated motor overload protection, and a door-mounted control panel for fast commissioning. With a wide range from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and options for external control connections and serial communications, it supports scalable HVAC and light industrial applications while meeting energy-efficiency and safety standards. This combination increases reliability and simplifies compliance in regulated environments. By centralizing drive control and protection, it streamlines maintenance and reduces total cost of ownership in industrial automation settings.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227311 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 package reduces wiring complexity and enhances on-site safety during commissioning. This compact protection system speeds installation, minimizes panel drilling, and lowers overall project risk for HVAC packaged units and high-duty conveyors. Available in UL/NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures, the drive adapts to indoor control rooms and exposed environments alike. Customers gain sensor-friendly access, simplified SKU management, and consistent performance across multiple facility layouts. With a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and voltages of 230, 460, and 575 V, a single platform covers diverse motor loads. This versatility reduces spare parts, simplifies training, and accelerates project timelines for HVAC, pumps, and facility automation. A door-mounted graphical control panel provides local operation, diagnostics, and setup without extra PLCs, speeding commissioning and troubleshooting for operators and maintenance staff. Local control also enables fast response to process changes, improving system reliability in critical AHU and boiler room applications. Provisions for external control connections and serial communications—supporting BACnet, Modbus, and other common fieldbus networks—enable seamless integration with BAS, PLCs, and automation systems. This compatibility minimizes engineering effort, enables remote monitoring, and supports scalable automation across plant campuses. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against overload events, reducing nuisance trips and extending motor life. A padlockable disconnect in OFF position enhances maintenance safety, while the compact packaged design mitigates space constraints on crowded control panels.
