ABB 3AUA0000227906 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000227906
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive is a compact HVAC drive that integrates motor control for HVAC systems. It is designed to simplify installation by delivering a ready-to-use enclosure with power electronics, protection, and control in one package. This approach addresses the common challenge of field wiring complexity and safety when deploying variable frequency drives in building systems. With UL/NEMA Type 1 enclosures, reinforced by padlockable input disconnects and fast-acting fuses, it supports safe, compliant operation. The integrated control panel and serial communications capability help engineers streamline commissioning and ongoing automation, while the scalable horsepower range and 230/460/575 V options deliver flexibility across projects. Packaged drive, motor control, and HVAC automation are leveraged to deliver lower TCO and faster ROI for customers.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227906 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 packaged enclosure with the ACH580 drive reduces field wiring complexity and installation time, cutting commissioning risk. The business impact is faster project handover, lower labor costs, and fewer wiring mistakes. This configuration is ideally suited to HVAC systems in commercial buildings, data centers, and light industrial plants where compact space and reliable control matter. Built-in input disconnect with padlockable OFF and fast-acting fuses provide enhanced safety and fault isolation. The business impact is safer maintenance windows, easier lockout-tagout, and reduced downtime due to rapid protection action. In practice, technicians can service drives without the risk of unexpected starts, ensuring compliance with safety programs on large building projects. Door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables local startup, parameter tuning, and diagnostics without external laptops. The business impact is quicker commissioning, fewer site visits, and faster fault identification. This is particularly beneficial in retrofit projects where space and access are constrained. Provisions for external control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with building management systems and industrial networks. The business impact is centralized monitoring, remote configuration, and data exchange with PLCs, SCADA, or Modbus networks. This reduces commissioning time and improves long-term asset visibility across multiple drives. Support for 1-350 hp and 230/460/575 V allows a single packaged solution across many applications. The business impact is reduced inventory, faster quotes, and optimized motor control for energy efficiency. In HVAC projects, precise speed control translates to steady climate conditions and lower energy bills. Overall safety and reliability are enhanced by the enclosed design, integrated protection, and robust mechanicals, delivering predictable performance in critical climate control tasks.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for heating, ventilation, and air conditioning systems in commercial and light industrial buildings. It covers 1-350 hp motors and supports 230/460/575 V supplies. The integrated enclosure, disconnect, fuses, and local control panel enable quick deployment, simplified commissioning, and reliable variable-speed control in climate systems.
The door-mounted disconnect can be padlocked to OFF, preventing accidental startup during service, while fast-acting drive fuses provide rapid fault isolation. This reduces downtime, simplifies lockout-tagout procedures, and protects personnel and equipment. The packaged design also gives maintenance teams access to essential protection in a single, clearly labeled unit for compliance.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive uses a UL/NEMA Type 1 enclosure configuration, designed for indoor, non-hazardous environments. This supports straightforward installation, reduces enclosure selection complexity, and delivers integrated protection, a local control panel, and external connectivity for automation networks in typical building or facility settings.
Installation should align with the 230/460/575 V supply and 1-350 hp motor sizing. Ensure proper cooling in the UL Type 1 enclosure, select appropriate circuit protection and disconnect, and plan for external control connections and serial communication wiring. The unit supports a range of horsepower and voltages, enabling a single packaged solution across multiple projects, reducing spare-part needs.
Using the ACH580 Packaged Drive can lower total installation costs by reducing wiring, cabinet space, and panel work, while improving energy efficiency through precise motor control. The integrated protection and local control panel simplify maintenance, asset management, and uptime. Over time, the compact package minimizes spare parts and enables faster service, delivering measurable ROI for HVAC projects.
