Engineers often struggle with space, wiring complexity, and compliance when integrating drives into compact control panels. UL-listed in a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, with Type 12 and 3R variants, it supports safer installations across sites. Designed for 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V, it enables scalable HVAC control while reducing panel depth and field labor. For maintenance teams and integrators, the built‑in control panel and serial communications simplify commissioning and ongoing reliability.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000137 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
Packaged architecture consolidates the ACH580 inside a UL Type 1 enclosure, delivering a compact, panel-friendly solution. This approach reduces footprint and simplifies wiring, lowering cabinet depth and material costs while accelerating installation in new-build and retrofit projects for commercial buildings and data centers. The drive includes a door-mounted input disconnect switch padlockable OFF and fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker, enhancing safety, code compliance, and maintenance lockout procedures. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against nuisance trips and costly downtime, extending motor life and improving system uptime. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables fast local tuning, commissioning, and diagnostics without a separate HMI, reducing commissioning time. Provisions for external control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with building management systems and remote monitoring, delivering improved energy management and visibility. The 1–350 hp, 230/460/575 V capability provides scalable performance for HVAC fans and pumps, while compatibility with ABB’s ACH580 ecosystem supports future upgrades and serviceability across multiple sites. Overall, this packaged solution offers space savings, easier installation, and a clear path to lower total cost of ownership for HVAC drives.

FAQs
Plan for a panel-mounted installation with accessible door-mounted input disconnect and padlockable OFF for safe maintenance. Ensure space for the graphical control panel, external control connections, and adequate clearance for cooling. Use the circuit protection option appropriate to the site code, and wire per ABB guidelines for serial communications and motor protection. Verify voltage compatibility (230/460/575 V) and motor horsepower range (1–350 HP).
The packaged drive supports 1–350 HP at 230/460/575 V, including an input disconnect with fuses or a circuit breaker option. It offers electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted graphical control panel for local control, and serial communications capability for system integration. The enclosure variants include UL Type 1 with NEMA compatibility, suitable for HVAC fan and pump applications.
Yes. It is designed specifically for HVAC use cases such as fans and pumps, offering space savings and simplified wiring in commercial buildings, data centers, and industrial facilities. The built-in disconnect, motor protection, and local control panel streamline commissioning and maintenance, while 230/460/575 V operation supports a wide range of HVAC motors. It also supports integration with BMS through serial communications.
The package is UL-listed and available in a UL Type 1 enclosure, with Type 12 and 3R variants offered for different environmental needs. This provides safer operation, easier compliance with electrical codes, and adaptable protection for various installation environments, including mechanical rooms and outdoor-rated spaces where enclosure selection matters for reliability and safety.
Adopting the ACH580 Packaged Drive reduces panel space, wiring complexity, and commissioning time, lowering installation labor costs. Electronic motor overload protection minimizes unplanned downtime, while the integrated control panel and serial communications simplify maintenance and remote diagnostics. These factors contribute to faster project timelines and a favorable total cost of ownership in HVAC installations across multiple sites.
