ABB ACH580-PCR-04A6-2 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000227805
Quick Summary
ACH580 Packaged Drive is a UL-listed HVAC motor controller for reliable building ventilation and pump applications. This integration reduces field wiring, shortens commissioning time, and enables safe maintenance with a padlockable OFF position. It's ideal for HVAC power circuits in mechanical rooms where code compliance and quick fault isolation matter. It supports flexible installation across indoor and outdoor environments via UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. In practice, that combination translates to energy savings, reduced wiring, faster commissioning, and lower maintenance costs over the life of the installation.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227805 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.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive comes with a door-mounted input disconnect switch and fast-acting drive fuses. This integration reduces field wiring, shortens commissioning time, and enables safe maintenance with a padlockable OFF position. It's ideal for HVAC power circuits in mechanical rooms where code compliance and quick fault isolation matter. This compact package reduces footprint in crowded mechanical rooms and simplifies wiring schematics for contractors. Feature: Enclosure options include UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R variants. Impact: Provides flexible installation across indoor and outdoor environments and minimizes the need for separate enclosures. Application: Buildings can deploy the packaged drive with the appropriate protection rating for AHUs and pumps. Designed for retrofit as well as new builds, it accommodates existing conduit layouts. This versatility simplifies budgeting and reduces project risk. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display for local control. Impact: Speeds commissioning and on-site adjustments without external panels. Application: Field technicians calibrate speed and protection settings during start-up and maintenance. The panel supports quick parameter tuning, fault display, and status indicators for rapid troubleshooting. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection. Impact: Protects HVAC motors, reduces wear, and minimizes downtime. Application: Essential for fans and pumps subject to variable loads and startup surges. Factory testing and documented installation guides help reduce on-site surprises. Feature: Supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. Impact: Enables scalable solutions from small to large HVAC applications. Application: From compact rooftop units to large central plants with energy-efficient speed control. This flexibility supports rapid scaling as plant loads change. Feature: Serial communications and external control connections. Impact: Enables integration with building management systems and remote monitoring. Application: Seamless integration with SCADA or BACnet networks in modern facilities. Remote monitoring capabilities enable predictive maintenance and energy management.

FAQs
It targets HVAC applications like air handling units, variable-air-volume fans, and pumps in commercial and light industrial facilities. The drive supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and is available in UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. With a door-mounted graphical panel and built-in overload protection, you gain precise speed control, energy efficiency, and easy retrofit potential.
The electronic motor overload protection continuously monitors motor current and thermal conditions, and automatically trips or limits current when thresholds are exceeded. This prevents overheating, reduces winding insulation stress, and minimizes unplanned downtime. It's particularly beneficial for fans and pumps with varying loads, helping extend motor life and improve system reliability.
Yes, the ACH580-Packaged Drive is UL-listed and offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, and 3R enclosure configurations. This provides flexibility for indoor mechanical rooms as well as outdoor or semi-exposed installations. The enclosure choice supports safe isolation, service access, and compliance with common electrical codes while preserving the drive's integrated control features.
Yes. It includes serial communications capability and external control connections, enabling integration with popular BMS platforms (BACnet, Modbus, etc.). This supports centralized monitoring, remote diagnostics, and coordinated demand response for HVAC systems, reducing energy use and enabling predictive maintenance.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive reduces energy use through precise motor speed control and improves uptime with integrated protection and diagnostics. The door-mounted control panel simplifies commissioning, while the encoded fuses and disconnect streamline service. Over the life of an installation, users typically see faster project timelines, lower maintenance costs, and measurable energy savings.
