Quick Summary
The ACH580-PCR-273A-2 Packaged Drive is a complete HVAC motor controller with a UL-listed enclosure designed for rapid installation and reliable operation. It integrates an ACH580 drive inside a Type 1, Type 12, or 3R enclosure, with a door-mounted control panel and fast-acting drive fuses for safety. This design addresses field wiring complexity and space constraints, helping reduce panel footprint and commissioning time. Key certifications and standards include UL-listed protection and enclosure configurations that support compliant installations in commercial HVAC systems. By combining protection, control, and communications in one package, it enables safer maintenance, easier upgrades, and seamless integration with building automation systems. This packaged approach also helps procurement simplify sourcing and improve uptime across distributed HVAC networks.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227820 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.
Feature integration and safety: The packaged drive consolidates drive electronics, protection, and control into a single enclosure, enabling faster installation and safer maintenance. Business impact is reduced wiring complexity, smaller panel footprints, and fewer field termination errors, which translates to lower commissioning costs and quicker system start-up for HVAC projects. Application context includes rooftop units, air handlers, and fan-coil systems where space is at a premium and reliability is critical. Flexible sizing and voltage compatibility: With a 1 to 350 hp range and input voltages of 230/460/575 V, the ACH580-Packaged Drive supports a wide array of HVAC motors without multiple SKUs. This flexibility reduces part numbers, accelerates procurement, and supports future upgrades in existing installations. Typical applications include commercial building HVAC, boiler feed pumps, and variable-air-volume fans. Protective features for uptime: The drive offers electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses, which minimize hot starts and protect motors in fault conditions. This measurable outcome lowers maintenance costs and extends motor life, especially in high-duty HVAC environments with cyclic loads. User-friendly local control: A door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables on-site commissioning and adjustments without opening the main enclosure. Benefits include reduced field wiring time, simplified troubleshooting, and faster response to system changes in commissioning and service windows. Connectivity and integration: Serial communications capability facilitates building automation and remote monitoring, enabling proactive maintenance and data-driven optimization. This supports energy efficiency initiatives and aligns with modern BAS architectures, reducing energy waste and improving system visibility. Safety-conscious start-up and operation: The package includes a disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, ensuring safe isolation for maintenance and compliant startup sequences. This feature helps meet safety standards and reduces the risk of electrical incidents during servicing.
