ABB 3AUA0000227822 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1/12/3R Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000227822
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive is a compact HVAC motor controller that integrates control and protection for commercial HVAC systems. The goal is to simplify installation while delivering reliable performance in mechanical rooms with limited space. UL-listed protection and enclosure options—UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R—contribute to safer, code-compliant installations in varying environments. By combining an input disconnect, motor overload protection, and a door-mounted graphical control panel, this packaged drive reduces wiring complexity and accelerates commissioning. For integrators and maintenance teams, the result is lower total cost of ownership and easier integration with building automation and remote-control workflows.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227822 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 offers an integrated input disconnect switch with padlockable OFF position, providing immediate, compliant isolation for service and maintenance while reducing wiring and panel space. This feature translates to faster install times and safer work practices in crowded mechanical rooms, especially for HVAC systems with multiple motors. The unit also includes electronic motor overload protection, which minimizes motor burnout and unplanned downtime, delivering tangible reliability gains and lower lifecycle costs. A door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local start/stop, fault diagnostics, and quick parameter adjustments, shortening diagnostic cycles and improving commissioning accuracy. With 230/460/575 V capability and an HP range from 1 to 350, the drive supports a wide spectrum of blower and fan motors, enabling scalable solutions for different building sizes. Serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections simplify integration with building management systems, increasing compatibility with existing workflows and reducing integration risk. The enclosure options—UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R—provide installation flexibility for both indoor equipment rooms and more rugged environments, improving protection against dust, moisture, and tampering in compliance-ready configurations. Industry-savvy installation and service insights show that packaged drives like this can cut panel complexity by consolidating drive electronics, protection, and interface in a single unit, delivering measurable time savings during upgrades and retrofits.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and includes a door-mounted control panel and an input disconnect. Mount the unit in a standard equipment room, connect 230/460/575 V supply per the drive’s nameplate, wire the motor to the output terminals, and install the input disconnect with a padlockable OFF position. Ensure proper enclosure cooling and maintain clearances for service access. This configuration reduces wiring complexity and simplifies maintenance tasks.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports a broad range from 1 to 350 hp, operating at 230/460/575 V. The package typically covers common HVAC blower and fan motors, with a 1.5 HP example rated at 6.6 A in the provided description. This versatility enables scalable solutions across small to large commercial HVAC applications while maintaining efficiency and protection features.
Yes. The packaged drive is specifically designed for HVAC applications, providing integrated motor control with protective features, a remote and local control interface, and compatibility with building automation systems. Its 1–350 hp range and multiple enclosure options make it suitable for rooftop units, air handling, and variable-air-volume applications, delivering reliable speed control and energy efficiency.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is UL-listed and offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures. This combination supports safe operation, electrical protection, and compliance with common electrical codes in HVAC installations. While CE marks and IP ratings aren’t explicitly listed in the provided data, the UL listing and enclosure types provide essential regulatory alignment for many markets.
A packaged drive consolidates drive electronics, protection, and a local control interface in one enclosure, reducing wiring, panel complexity, and installation time. The integrated disconnect, overload protection, and serial communications simplify servicing and integration with building management systems. Over time, this translates to lower maintenance costs, faster fault resolution, and a shorter return-on-investment for HVAC upgrades and retrofits.
