Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227373 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.
UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure with a door-mounted input disconnect and fast-acting drive fuses is a defining feature. Business impact: simplifies installation, improves safety compliance, and reduces panel wiring time in new installations and retrofits. Application: ideal for packaged HVAC units, rooftop units, and air handling systems where space is tight and service needs are frequent. Electronic motor overload protection continuously guards motors against overcurrents and heat, extending motor life and lowering maintenance costs. This translates to measurable uptime gains and fewer unscheduled outages in critical cooling loops. Application: belt-driven fans, pumps, and compressors across light-commercial to large buildings. Door-mounted control panel with graphical display provides local commissioning and troubleshooting without a PC, while supporting external control connections and serial communications for building automation and remote monitoring. Application: integrated HVAC control systems and centralized energy management. Wide voltage and horsepower options—from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V—offer a single, scalable drive platform, reducing supplier diversification, stock levels, and engineering lead times. Application: new builds and retrofits across commercial facilities where different motor sizes are encountered. Safety and maintenance benefits are amplified by the padlockable disconnect in OFF position, enabling proper lockout-tagout. The integrated components and pre-wired fuse protection shorten installation and commissioning time, supporting faster ROI in HVAC projects. Industry alignment with energy codes and standards ensures reliable, predictable motor control in demanding environments.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive arrives in a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure with a door-mounted input disconnect that is padlockable in the OFF position, along with fast-acting drive fuses. This simplifies wiring, enhances safety during maintenance, and meets typical facility lockout requirements, enabling a straightforward field installation for HVAC packaging and retrofit projects.
The drive supports 230/460/575 V operation and is available across a wide horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp. A 2 HP model at 575 V (ACH580-PDR-02A7-6) demonstrates high performance in tighter service conditions, while the broader range accommodates various fan, pump, and compressor motor sizes within commercial HVAC installations.
Key protections include electronic motor overload protection to guard against overcurrent events and overheating. The enclosure houses fast-acting fuses for rapid fault isolation, while the door-mounted disconnect supports safe maintenance. Together, these features reduce motor damage risk and minimize downtime in critical HVAC loops.
Yes, the ACH580 Packaged Drive is UL-listed for US installations and CE compliant, suitable for commercial HVAC environments. Enclosure options include UL Type 1, Type 12, and Type 3R (NEMA) configurations to match installation requirements and weather conditions, simplifying commissioning and regulatory adherence.
Benefits include safer installation with padlockable disconnects, reduced wiring and commissioning time, and improved motor protection that lowers maintenance costs and downtime. The integrated controller, local graphical display, and serial communications enable faster commissioning and easier remote monitoring, supporting a faster return on investment in building automation and energy management initiatives.
