Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227827 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
Door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local control and rapid commissioning. This reduces field visits and wiring errors during start-up, which translates into faster project timelines and lower labor costs. The packaged drive is well suited for rooftop units, air handlers, and other HVAC equipment where quick, reliable setup matters for uptime and energy performance. Input disconnect switch and protection inside a UL Type 1/NEMA enclosure simplify wiring and improve safety. With a padlockable OFF position, technicians can service equipment without powering the drive, supporting compliance with electrical codes and safer maintenance routines. This integration is particularly beneficial in retrofit projects where enclosure space is at a premium. Single SKU supporting 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V enables designers to standardize parts across varied loads, reducing inventory, simplifying procurement, and lowering total cost of ownership. It also provides scalability for plants that grow or reconfigure HVAC systems, from fans to pumps and conveyors. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against overload and fault conditions, helping prevent motor burnout, minimize unplanned downtime, and extend equipment life. In practice, this means fewer service calls and more consistent process performance in demanding environments. Serial communications capability and external control connections facilitate integration with building management systems and automation networks. Operators can monitor performance, adjust parameters, and receive alerts remotely, improving energy management and predictive maintenance. The combination of onboard controls and remote interfaces supports modern Industrie 4.0 workflows in industrial facilities.
