ABB 3AUA0000227846 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000227846
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive is a versatile HVAC drive that precisely controls motors in commercial and industrial HVAC equipment. Facilities teams often face longer installation times and motor protection gaps when integrating variable-frequency drives into existing ducted systems. UL-listed with a NEMA Type 1 (and 12 or 3R) enclosure, it includes a door-mounted control panel, electronic motor overload protection, and robust local control capabilities. The packaging also provides a door-mounted input disconnect switch (padlockable in the OFF position) and serial communications, simplifying wiring and enabling remote diagnostics. This combination delivers safer, more reliable operation while supporting energy-efficient HVAC system design and scalable control strategies.

FAQs
When installing the ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive, verify compatible 230/460/575 V supply, select the UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure configuration, and connect the door-mounted input disconnect as a safety feature. Ensure proper ventilation, cable management, and a clear local control panel position. The serial communications capability should be enabled for BAS/SCADA integration, and the electronic motor overload protection must be configured to match the motor nameplate to optimize protection and efficiency.
Key specs include a horsepower range of 1–350 hp and input voltage options of 230/460/575 V. It is housed in a UL-listed enclosure (NEMA Type 1, with options for Type 12 or 3R), features an input disconnect switch (padlockable OFF), electronic motor overload protection, and a graphical local control panel plus serial communications capability for remote integration.
Yes, it is designed for HVAC applications, including fans, pumps, and compressors in commercial and light industrial settings. Its wide voltage and HP range accommodates multiple equipment sizes, while the packaged enclosure and built-in protection simplify installation, improve energy efficiency, and enable reliable motor control in demanding HVAC duty cycles.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R configurations. The enclosure choice, along with the padlockable input disconnect, supports compliance with safety and installation standards typical for commercial HVAC installations while enabling safer maintenance and easier serviceability.
Expect reduced wiring complexity and faster commissioning thanks to the integrated enclosure, disconnect, and control panel. Energy efficiency gains come from precise motor control, while built-in overload protection minimizes motor wear and downtime. Remote diagnostics via serial communications enable proactive maintenance and a lower total cost of ownership for HVAC systems.
