Part Number: 3AUA0000227831
Quick Summary
ACH580 Packaged Drive is a HVAC drive that delivers precise motor control in a compact, ready-to-install package for building systems. Engineers often wrestle with wiring complexity, cabinet crowding, and downtime during drive integration; this solution reduces wiring, simplifies space planning, and accelerates commissioning. Key certifications and standards include UL-listed protection and enclosure options such as NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R to support code-compliant installations. The combination of a door-mounted control panel, electronic motor overload protection, and built-in communications enables both local control and seamless integration with plant PLCs and building-management systems. These features translate to lower installation costs, improved reliability, and faster ROI for HVAC projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227831 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
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 Packaged Drive is shipped in a UL-listed enclosure with an integrated input disconnect, reducing wiring complexity and enabling padlockable OFF access for safer commissioning in commercial and industrial HVAC installations. This directly lowers labor costs and shortens project timelines in retrofits and new builds. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive supports 1 to 350 hp (with 230/460/575 V availability), delivering scalable motor control for air handlers, fans, and pumps while minimizing spare parts and inventory. This flexibility translates to a single platform for multiple rotating loads in large facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection combined with a door-mounted graphical display provides rapid fault diagnosis and protection against motor damage, decreasing downtime and extending motor life in critical systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability and external control connections enable straightforward integration with PLCs and BMS, enabling remote monitoring, advanced energy management, and tighter process control. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The packaged approach reduces cabinet footprint and simplifies installation, freeing valuable space in crowded electrical rooms and enabling faster project execution in HVAC retrofits and new builds. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in protection, enclosure versatility, and compatibility with standard building electrical practices support regulatory compliance and consistent performance across sites, improving total cost of ownership for industrial and commercial HVAC deployments.

FAQs
Install the ACH580 Packaged Drive in a UL Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure as specified, mount the unit in an accessible cabinet, and connect the input disconnect per NEC guidelines. Use the padlockable OFF feature for safe maintenance, verify wiring fuses or circuit breakers are correctly sized, and ensure proper ventilation to prevent overheating. This setup minimizes commissioning time and enhances safety during service.
This packaged drive covers 1 to 350 hp capability with 230/460/575 V input options. The referenced configuration indicates a 30 Hp rating with up to 88 A current for the unit, suitable for HVAC fans, pumps, and blowers. Ensure correct voltage selection and cooling when sizing for your load to optimize performance and energy efficiency.
Yes. The drive is designed for HVAC applications such as fans, blowers, and pumps, offering precise speed control, integrated overload protection, and a door-mounted control panel for local operation. Its standalone packaged enclosure streamlines installation in tight mechanical rooms and reduces wiring complexity, improving reliability and uptime in commercial buildings.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is UL-listed and offered in UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations, supporting safe operation and code-compliant installations in varied environments. These enclosure options help meet regional electrical codes and enable safer service access, especially in occupied spaces or harsh environments.
By combining a compact, integrated control panel, built-in overload protection, and an efficient motor control strategy, the ACH580 Packaged Drive reduces installation time, lowers wiring and cabinet space requirements, and minimizes downtime. The result is faster project completion, improved energy efficiency, and a shorter payback period on both renovations and new builds.
