Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000085 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 is designed for packaged HVAC equipment, delivering a compact solution that reduces panel space and wiring complexity while meeting strict installation standards. Feature driven benefits include a door-mounted input disconnect switch that is padlockable in the OFF position, which directly enhances safety and prevents accidental energization on busy service days. This translates to fewer field mistakes and safer maintenance windows in critical facilities. The integrated electronic motor overload protection safeguards motors and drives from overload events, decreasing unplanned downtime and extending motor life in demanding air handling and pump applications. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables local commissioning and diagnostics without external tools, accelerating start-up and reducing commissioning labor costs. External control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with PLCs and building management systems, supporting scalable automation and remote monitoring. With a 1–350 hp range at 230/460/575 V, supported by UL Type 1/12/3R enclosures, installers gain flexible placement options and faster project turnover. Compatibility with ABB and third-party devices helps minimize training and procurement complexity, while the packaged design reduces enclosure footprint and simplifies maintenance planning for HVAC projects in manufacturing, data centers, and commercial facilities. The ACH580 Packaged Drive addresses common objections by combining protective features, simplified wiring, and accessible diagnostics in a single, standards-compliant unit, delivering measurable improvements in energy efficiency, uptime, and total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Installation requires mounting the packaged drive inside a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure with the door-mounted input disconnect accessible and padlockable in OFF. Verify 230/460/575 V supply, ensure motor current remains within 240 A and horsepower within 1–350 hp, and connect external control signals and serial communications per the ABB wiring diagram. Provide proper clearance for cooling and maintenance, then commission via the door panel or external controller.
Reliable control is supported by electronic motor overload protection, a graphical local control panel, and serial communications capability for PLC integration. The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V and up to 240 A, enabling precise speed control for fans and pumps while protecting motors from overload events and improving overall system efficiency.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed specifically for packaged HVAC equipment, offering a compact, integrated solution with a door-mounted disconnect, overload protection, and local control. It covers a broad horsepower range (1–350 hp) and input voltages (230/460/575 V), making it suitable for air handling units, pumps, and other HVAC-driven loads in industrial settings.
The drive is UL-listed and compatible with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, providing robust protection for indoor and semi-outdoor installations. These certifications support safe operation, easier inspection, and regulatory compliance in industrial plants and commercial facilities.
Benefits include reduced wiring complexity and faster commissioning, leading to lower installation costs. Electronic overload protection minimizes motor wear and downtime, while the integrated control panel simplifies diagnostics and preventive maintenance. Serial communications enable remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, driving improved uptime and a lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s life cycle.
