Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227815 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.
Packaging with an input disconnect switch and fast-acting drive fuses reduces wiring complexity and simplifies protection coordination in HVAC cabinets. This built-in safety architecture minimizes field wiring errors and speeds up startup, translating into faster project completion and easier maintenance in service environments. Typical applications include rooftop units and air handling systems where reliable protection is critical. The ACH580-Packaged Drive offers a scalable horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and supports 230/460/575 V input, enabling one platform to cover a broad spectrum of fans, pumps, and other HVAC motors. For facilities seeking energy efficiency, the drive’s precise speed control and programmable overload protection translate into tangible energy savings and reduced wear on mechanical systems. Installation benefits include fewer components, shorter wiring runs, and clearer fault isolation.

FAQs
Installation involves mounting the packaged drive inside a UL Type 1 enclosure, connecting the input disconnect or circuit breaker, and wiring the motor and control connections to the drive. The door-mounted control panel aids local commissioning, while the built-in fuses protect the drive during start-up. Ensure proper phase sequence, wiring segregation, and adherence to local electrical codes. The device supports external control connections and serial communications for integration with BMS and PLCs.
The ACH580-Packaged Drive is rated for 1 to 350 hp and supports 230/460/575 V input. For the 088A-2 variant, the system provides up to 30 HP with 88 A at 230 V, enabling scalable control for HVAC fans, pumps, and other motors across commercial and industrial installations while maintaining efficient operation and protection.
Yes. The packaged drive is specifically designed for HVAC motor control, combining a drive, protection, and control in one cabinet. It supports precise speed regulation, overload protection, and easy integration with building management systems, helping to improve energy efficiency, reduce wear on fans and pumps, and simplify installation in rooftop units and air handling systems.
The unit is UL-listed and offered in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure options, ensuring safe operation in a range of environments. It includes electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel for local control, and provisions for external control connections plus serial communications, enabling safe startup, reliable protection coordination, and compliant installation in industrial spaces.
By consolidating drive, protection, and control in a single enclosure, the packaged drive reduces wiring complexity and installation time, lowering upfront labor costs. Built-in overload protection minimizes motor wear and downtime, while the door-mounted panel speeds commissioning and diagnostics. Serial communications enable remote monitoring and easier maintenance planning, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
