ABB 3AUA0000227895 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 Packaged
Part Number: 3AUA0000227895
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000227895 HVAC Drive is a packaged variable-speed drive that precisely controls motor speed for HVAC systems. Wiring complexity, limited space, and regulatory compliance can slow installations and inflate project lead times. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosures with 1 to 350 hp capability at 230/460/575 V, including a door-mounted disconnect. With electronic motor overload protection, a graphical local control panel, and serial communications, it streamlines commissioning and enhances reliability. This combination addresses two to three critical use cases in commercial and industrial HVAC—to maintain constant airflow and pressure while reducing energy consumption. In practice, installers appreciate faster wiring, safer maintenance with padlockable OFF, and scalable performance from 1 to 350 hp.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosures and includes a door-mounted input disconnect switch that is padlockable in the OFF position. Install by connecting a 230/460/575 V supply, wiring to the drive terminals, and enabling the local control panel for commissioning. External control connections and serial communications are supported to fit your control architecture.
This packaged drive covers a broad range from 1 to 350 hp and supports 230/460/575 V supplies. In 230 V configurations, the drive current typically aligns with the load (the nominal rating for common 5 hp applications is around 16.7 A), enabling flexible sizing for HVAC fans, pumps, and other motors while maintaining efficient operation.
Yes. The drive is specifically designed for HVAC applications, offering precise speed control for fans and pumps, built-in motor protection, and a compact packaged form factor. Its door-mounted disconnect, graphical local control, and serial communications make it ideal for building management system integration and reliable daily operation in commercial HVAC systems.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosures, supporting safe indoor installations with integrated protection. The packaging and protection features are intended to meet common electrical safety requirements for HVAC equipment, simplifying compliance for mechanical rooms and equipment rooms in commercial facilities.
The packaged design reduces wiring complexity and accelerates installation, lowering commissioning time and labor costs. Built-in overload protection and fuses minimize motor faults and downtime, while the door-mounted disconnect improves maintenance safety. Combined with remote monitoring via serial communications, the solution supports predictive maintenance and energy management, contributing to faster ROI and lower total cost of ownership.
