ABB 3AUA0000227901 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000227901
Quick Summary
ACH580 Packaged Drive provides precise HVAC motor control for commercial and industrial applications. Installers struggle with long commissioning times and trips caused by incompatible controls. This UL-listed solution with NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure, integrated input disconnect that is padlockable OFF, and electronic motor overload protection supports 230/460/575 V and a 1–350 hp range, helping reduce downtime and improve safety. The packaged design also includes a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display, provisions for external control connections, and serial communications capability, simplifying diagnostics and integration with building management systems. By combining protection, control, and communication in one enclosure, it reduces wiring complexity, speeds retrofits, and lowers total cost of ownership for HVAC systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227901 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses. 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.
Integrated disconnect switch with padlockable OFF position enhances safety and lockout/tagout compliance, reducing maintenance risk and accidental energization during service. This feature directly translates into safer field work and quicker, compliant maintenance windows for HVAC systems. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors and drive electronics, decreasing unplanned outages and extending equipment life through proactive fault prevention. The door-mounted graphical control panel enables local commissioning and fast diagnostics, eliminating the need for separate handheld devices and speeding service calls in tight mechanical rooms. External control connections and serial communications capability simplify integration with building management systems and legacy controllers, delivering smoother retrofits and improved monitoring. The broad horsepower and voltage range — 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V — provides flexible compatibility with a wide motor set, reducing part variety and inventory costs. UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure options support different installation environments, enabling safer, compliant installations with fewer enclosure-related constraints. Overall, the ACH580 Packaged Drive combines protection, control, and connectivity in a compact footprint, delivering measurable efficiency gains and lower total cost of ownership for HVAC projects.
