It supports UL listing and NEMA enclosure options, including Type 1, 12, and 3R, enabling compliant installation in a variety of environments. This ABB solution reduces install time and lifecycle costs by consolidating drive, protection, and local control in a single enclosure, while enabling serial communications and external control connectivity for advanced building automation.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000081 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 enclosure with UL/NEMA Type 1/12/3R and a door-mounted input disconnect switch reduces wiring complexity and elevates safety compliance. This consolidation cuts installation time, simplifies inspections, and lowers total installed cost for HVAC projects. Typical applications include rooftop units, air handling units, and large fans where space and safety are critical. Broad horsepower and voltage compatibility: 1 to 350 hp and 230/460/575 V support a wide range of motors. This reduces spare parts and training needs by using a single drive family across multiple projects. Retrofit campaigns, new HVAC installations, and greenfield data centers benefit from the scalable platform. Door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local control and quick commissioning. It also provides secure external control connections for PLCs and building management systems, reducing commissioning time and errors. This configuration is ideal for sites needing straightforward operation without dedicated external panels. Electronic motor overload protection protects critical motors from stall and overload conditions, lowering unplanned downtime. It improves motor life and aligns with safety and energy efficiency standards in commercial HVAC. Serial communications capability supports integration with modern building automation and energy management systems, enabling monitoring with remote diagnostics. This compatibility reduces maintenance visits, speeds fault isolation, and improves overall system performance.

FAQs
Install the Packaged Drive into a UL/NEMA Type enclosure (Type 1, 12, or 3R) with the door-mounted input disconnect padlocked in OFF. Route mains and motor cables through designated terminals, connect external control wires and the serial communications interface, and program the ACH580 controller via the local graphical display. This approach minimizes wiring, simplifies compliance, and speeds commissioning while maintaining safe access for maintenance.
Key specs include 1–350 hp capability, operation at 230/460/575 V, and current up to about 96 A for the 75 HP class. The drive features electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel, and serial communications to support integration with PLCs and building management systems.
Yes. It is designed for rooftop units, air handling units, and large fans, delivering reliable motor control, safety disconnects, and easy integration with building automation. The packaged approach reduces wiring, simplifies maintenance, and supports remote monitoring, making it ideal for both new installations and retrofit projects in commercial facilities.
ABB provides UL-listed, NEMA enclosure options in Type 1, 12, and 3R configurations for the ACH580 Packaged Drive. The door-mounted input disconnect is padlockable when OFF, and the package includes electronic motor overload protection. These features support industry safety standards and enable compliant installations across varied environments.
Expect reduced installation time and wiring, lower maintenance costs from built-in protection, and fewer field faults due to integrated control and diagnostics. Serial communications enable remote monitoring, helping identify issues early and optimize energy use, delivering faster ROI on HVAC upgrades.
