Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227908 ABB: The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes an ACH580 drive in a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with either an input disconnect switch and fast acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. 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 UL/NEMA Type 1 enclosure with input disconnect and padlockable OFF reduces field wiring and speeds safety-compliant installations, making it ideal for rooftop units and packaged HVAC systems where space is at a premium. The horsepower range of 1 to 350 HP and voltages of 230/460/575 V provide flexibility to cover a wide range of motors, cutting procurement complexity and inventory costs for both retrofits and new builds. Built-in electronic motor overload protection minimizes nuisance trips and protects windings, lowering maintenance costs and downtime across continuous operation environments. A door-mounted graphical control panel with external control connections accelerates commissioning and enables rapid parameter tuning while offering straightforward diagnostics. Serial communications capability supports easy integration with building management systems and remote monitoring, reducing on-site service visits and enabling centralized control for multi-zone facilities. Finally, the packaged drive’s robust enclosure choices and safety features ensure code-compliant installations in mechanical rooms and equipment closets, delivering long-term reliability and uptime for HVAC networks.
