Part Number: 3AUA0000227845
Quick Summary
Packaged Drive is ABB's compact HVAC drive that integrates an ACH580 inside a UL Type 1 enclosure for simplified installation in commercial and industrial environments. This packaged solution addresses field wiring complexity, space constraints, and maintenance overhead by providing a door-mounted control panel, a built-in input disconnect with fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker, and straightforward local or remote control options. The design emphasizes safety and reliability, featuring electronic motor overload protection and provisions for external control connections and serial communications. By consolidating drive, protection, and control into a single enclosure, it reduces panel footprint and commissioning time while improving compliance with safety standards. This makes ABB Packaged Drive a strong fit for HVAC applications requiring robust control with scalable performance and proven reliability.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227845 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 Packaged Drive combines an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with an input disconnect switch and fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker. This reduces wiring complexity and panel space, delivering faster installation and easier maintenance on HVAC systems in commercial buildings and industrial facilities. The result is lower total installed cost and accelerated commissioning, with a safer, padlockable OFF position that prevents accidental energization during servicing. Application: critical fans, pumps, and variable-speed HVAC components in constrained spaces benefit from a compact, integrated solution that minimizes field wiring and simplifies compliance with safety standards. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The door-mounted control panel with a graphical display supports local control and quick troubleshooting, reducing on-site labor and downtime. This improves reliability in critical environments such as data centers or manufacturing floors. Application: retrofit projects and new installs where rapid startup and clear visibility of drive status are essential. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection guards motors and drives from overload and nuisance trips, extending motor life and reducing service calls. This translates into lower maintenance costs and improved asset uptime across HVAC-driven processes. Application: large air handling units and cooling systems where continuous operation is non-negotiable. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability enables integration with PLCs and building management systems, enabling remote monitoring, fault reporting, and coordinated control. This supports scalable deployments and data-driven optimization. Application: multi-zone climate control, central plant optimization, and energy-management initiatives. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V coverage provides flexibility for a wide range of equipment, from fans to pumps, ensuring a single solution can be used across multiple projects. This reduces spare parts inventories and accelerates procurement. Application: mixed-use facilities and industrial plants with diverse load profiles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The packaged design reduces footprint and simplifies installation in space-constrained mechanical rooms, enabling compliant, safer and neater installations. Application: new builds and upgrades where a compact, integrated drive is preferred for improved aesthetics and service access.
