Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000004289 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: The Packaged Drive includes a door-mounted input disconnect with either fast-acting fuses or an integrated circuit breaker, consolidating protective devices into a single, code-compliant assembly for streamlined installation. Business impact: This configuration reduces field wiring complexity, enhances safety with straightforward lockout/tagout, speeds commissioning, and minimizes field callbacks during the initial startup window. Application: In packaged rooftop units and commercial air handlers, the integrated disconnect simplifies wiring, reduces cabinet footprint, and improves serviceability during routine maintenance. Feature: The drive is offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and supports motor ratings from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. Business impact: This scalability reduces the number of SKUs, minimizes on-site customization, and enables a single procurement path for varied HVAC projects. Application: Suitable for a broad spectrum of HVAC motors, from small fans to large compressors, ensuring consistent performance across diverse installations. Feature: A door-mounted graphical control panel provides local operation, with external control connections and serial communications enabling plant-wide integration. Business impact: Local visibility reduces on-site service trips, while insights from remote diagnostics support proactive maintenance and faster issue resolution. Application: Particularly valuable in facilities with BAS/SCADA interfaces and routine schedule-based control for energy management and ongoing operational optimization. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against overload and improper startup, preserving motor life and reducing electrical stress. Business impact: This reduces unplanned downtime, lowers maintenance costs, and extends drive life in variable-speed HVAC workflows where demand fluctuates. Application: Critical in retrofit projects and new builds where motor loading changes with occupancy, weather, and building load dynamics. Feature: The packaged design consolidates protective devices, control electronics, and power electronics into a compact footprint for easier handling. Business impact: This translates to shorter project timelines, reduced field labor, easier maintenance accessibility, and more predictable performance across outages, start-ups, and critical events. Application: Well-suited for retrofit and new-build HVAC installations where space is at a premium and reliability is non-negotiable.
