Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227916 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
Feature: Packaged drive design integrates an ACH580 controller with a door-mounted input disconnect and optional fast-acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. Business impact: Simplifies installation, minimizes wiring errors, reduces panel footprint, and improves safety with a padlockable OFF position. Application: HVAC packaged systems in commercial buildings and industrial facilities benefit from quick on-site wiring and safer maintenance workflows. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection protects motors from thermal and electrical faults, lowering risk of unscheduled outages and extending motor life. Application: Fans, pumps, and blower assemblies operating under variable load gain higher reliability and reduced maintenance costs. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display delivers local control and diagnostics, accelerating commissioning and on-site troubleshooting. Application: Field technicians can optimize performance without extensive external tooling. Feature: External control connections and serial communications capability enable seamless integration with building management systems (BMS) and SCADA. Application: Enables centralized monitoring, remote fault diagnostics, and coordinated demand response. Feature: Broad voltage and horsepower range (1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V) provides sizing flexibility and quick deployment across varied HVAC loads. Application: New installations and retrofits can accommodate diverse motor sizes without changing cabinets. Feature: UL/NEMA enclosure options (Type 1, 12, 3R) support compliant, safe operation in harsh environments and simplify code approvals. Application: OEMs and facilities managers meet safety standards while reducing enclosure customization.
