ABB ACH580-PDR-143A-2 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000227903
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-PDR-143A-2 Packaged Drive is a VFD that controls HVAC motors in commercial and industrial air handling systems. Many projects struggle with wiring complexity and downtime during commissioning when using standalone drives with manual disconnects. The solution is UL listed and available in UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosures, with built-in electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel, and serial communications capability for remote monitoring. By consolidating the drive, disconnect, and protection in a single enclosure, installers reduce panel space, wiring errors, and commissioning time. This translates to faster project timelines, lower lifecycle costs, and improved reliability for HVAC fans, pumps, and other motor-driven equipment.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227903 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.

FAQs
The unit ships with a door-mounted input disconnect and a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure, simplifying on-site wiring. Plan for standard enclosure clearances, ensure 230/460/575 V power availability, and verify compatibility with existing control panels. Use the built-in graphical display for local adjustments, while serial communications support enables remote monitoring and integration with your building management system.
The packaged drive offers precise speed control and electronic motor overload protection, with a horsepower rating from 1 to 350 hp and voltage options of 230/460/575 V. This combination yields smoother startup and stop sequences, reduced electrical stress on motors, and improved energy efficiency—benefiting fan performance, belt life, and overall HVAC reliability.
Yes. The enclosure integrates the drive, disconnect, and protection in a single unit, which is ideal for both new builds and retrofits. It reduces panel wiring, shortens commissioning time, and supports straightforward replacement of legacy drives. Compatible with HVAC fans, pumps, and other motor-driven loads, it streamlines modernization without extensive panel redesign.
The ACH580-PDR-143A-2 is UL-listed and available in UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure configurations, with electronic motor overload protection for safe operation. These certifications help meet NEC/NEMA requirements and typical HVAC equipment standards, while the unit’s control panel and external connections support modernization of building automation systems.
The packaged drive reduces installation time and wiring errors, lowering upfront labor costs. Ongoing maintenance benefits come from integrated protection and smoother motor control, which extend motor life and reduce downtime. Energy-efficient speed control also lowers utility costs, delivering a faster return on investment for facilities upgrading HVAC infrastructure.
