Part Number: 3AUD0000000083
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive is an HVAC drive with an integrated disconnect, ideal for packaged cooling and air handling applications. Engineers often face installation complexity, space constraints, and compliance challenges when upgrading HVAC drives. The design relies on UL-listed safety features and selectable enclosure options (UL/NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R) to meet demanding requirements. With a door-mounted control panel and serial communications, this solution accelerates commissioning while enabling scalable performance and better energy management.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000083 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 disconnect and fuses or input circuit breaker in the packaged enclosure reduces wiring complexity and panel footprint, enabling faster field installation for rooftop units and air handlers. The 1 to 350 hp range with 230/460/575 V support provides scalable drive sizing, simplifying lifecycle planning and reducing SKU proliferation for HVAC projects. Electronic motor overload protection safeguards motors and connected fans or pumps, lowering risk of unexpected downtime and extending equipment life in critical cooling loops. A door-mounted control panel with graphical display speeds local commissioning, diagnostics, and troubleshooting, cutting on-site maintenance time. External control connections and serial communications capability enable seamless integration with building management systems (BMS) and automation networks for improved control strategies. UL-listed safety and enclosure options (Type 1, 12, 3R) support compliant installations in mechanical rooms and outdoor-rated spaces, boosting overall project confidence.

FAQs
For installation, place the packaged drive in a UL Type 1 enclosure with the door-mounted disconnect padlockable in OFF. Ensure 230/460/575 V supply routing to the drive and connect the external control cables per the ACH580 wiring diagram. The integrated fuses or circuit breaker streamline wiring, reducing field labor and panel space while maintaining safe clearance for maintenance.
The 156 A current rating corresponds to a 125 HP configuration, enabling reliable motor control at 230/460/575 V in HVAC applications. This setup includes electronic motor overload protection and a built-in disconnect, delivering robust protection for fans, pumps, and compressors while supporting smooth start-up and energy-efficient operation.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive provides provisions for external control connections and serial communications, allowing easy integration with building management systems (BMS) and automation networks. This capability supports remote monitoring, advanced control strategies, and centralized fault reporting for reduced downtime and better energy management.
Packaged drives like the ACH580 are ideal for rooftop units, air handling units, chiller feed applications, and packaged cooling systems. Their integrated disconnect, overload protection, and serial communication enable precise motor control, improved energy efficiency, and simpler maintenance, delivering lower operating costs and improved system reliability in commercial and industrial HVAC projects.
The drive is UL-listed and designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, supporting safe installations in mechanical rooms and outdoor environments. Features such as the padlockable disconnect, electronic motor overload protection, and graphical local control panel contribute to safer commissioning, easier service, and regulatory-aligned performance in HVAC applications.
