ABB 3AUA0000227911 Motors & Drives - Packaged UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000227911
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive optimizes HVAC motor control for commercial and light industrial systems. It reduces wiring complexity and downtime by integrating drive, disconnect, and protection in a single enclosure. UL-listed for NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R installations, it includes a door-mounted input disconnect, electronic motor overload protection, and a graphical local control panel for quick commissioning. Operating from 230/460/575 V and ranging from 1 to 350 hp, the packaged drive supports external control connections and serial communications to simplify integration with building-management systems and remote monitoring. This combination delivers reliable performance, compliance, and cost efficiency for HVAC projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227911 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
The ACH580 Packaged Drive consolidates drive electronics, a door-mounted input disconnect, and protection in a single enclosure, reducing field wiring and panel footprint while accelerating initial setup. This translates to tangible project savings and safer installations for HVAC equipment such as air handlers and rooftop units. Built-in electronic motor overload protection lowers maintenance costs by preventing unscheduled outages and minimizing motor wear over time. A graphical control panel on the door expedites commissioning and on-site tuning, decreasing startup time and enabling rapid parameter adjustments without external tools. External control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with building-management systems, enabling remote diagnostics and proactive energy management. With a 230/460/575 V supply and a 1 to 350 hp range, the ACH580 Packaged Drive fits both retrofit projects and new installations, offering flexible placement, easy service access, and compliant enclosure options. In practice, OEMs and integrators benefit from reduced part counts, standardized components, faster replacements, and clearer maintenance planning, contributing to lower total cost of ownership in HVAC systems.

FAQs
Begin with verifying the enclosure compatibility for UL/NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R. Mount the unit adjacent to the equipment, connect the 230/460/575 V supply and motor lead, and wire the door-mounted input disconnect as specified. Use the built-in graphical panel for setup, enable the external control connections as needed, and verify serial communication links for BMS integration. Follow lockout/tagout procedures during installation and test protection functions before commissioning.
The packaged drive includes external control connections and serial communications capability, enabling straightforward integration with most BMS platforms. You can monitor motor load, status, and fault diagnostics remotely, pull real-time data for energy analytics, and configure alarms to improve maintenance planning. This compatibility reduces commissioning time and supports centralized control across HVAC networks.
The drive provides electronic motor overload protection to prevent overheating and excessive current draw, reducing motor wear and unplanned downtime. The door-mounted input disconnect offers a secure, lockable OFF position for safer maintenance, while the packaged design confines critical protection components within a single enclosure, simplifying fault isolation and rapid fault recovery during service.
Yes, the ACH580 Packaged Drive is UL-listed and designed for NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. This ensures safe operation in a variety of HVAC environments and supports compliant installation in both indoor mechanical rooms and exposed outdoor applications where permitted by enclosure type. The integration of the disconnect and protection within the enclosure further simplifies code compliance and safety audits.
Expect reduced commissioning time, lower field-wabricated component count, and faster fault diagnosis due to an integrated control panel and serial communications. The electronic overload protection helps extend motor life and reduce maintenance events, while the compact, all-in-one design lowers installation and retrofit costs. The result is faster project delivery, improved uptime, and a lower total cost of ownership for HVAC systems.
