Part Number: 3AUA0000227397
Quick Summary
HVAC drive from ABB provides precise motor control for commercial and light-industrial climate systems. Engineers often wrestle with wiring errors, slow commissioning, and limited local visibility when using packaged drives. This ACH580 Packaged Drive combines a UL/NEMA Type 1 enclosure, a door-mounted graphical control panel, and electronic motor overload protection to simplify setup and ensure safety and compliance. By consolidating control, protection, and remote connectivity in a compact package, it reduces field wiring, minimizes downtime, and improves energy management across HVAC applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227397 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
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is housed in a UL/NEMA Type 1 enclosure with a door-mounted input disconnect. This configuration reduces field wiring complexity and enhances safety, as the disconnect is padlockable in the OFF position. Ideal for HVAC equipment in commercial buildings and light-industrial facilities, it simplifies installation in restricted spaces. The drive includes a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display for local control and diagnostics. This accelerates commissioning and reduces dependency on external HMIs, cutting on-site time and error rates. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against overload and thermal damage, translating to fewer nuisance trips and longer motor life, lowering maintenance costs for HVAC systems. Serial communications capability and external control connections enable integration with BAS/SCADA systems, supporting remote monitoring and coordinated energy management across multiple AHUs and zones. The drive covers 1 to 350 HP at 230/460/575 V, providing a scalable solution for diverse HVAC loads, from small fans to larger compressors.
