Extended Description
3AUD0000004294 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 comes in a UL Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with an input disconnect switch and either fast-acting fuses or an input circuit breaker. This configuration simplifies cabinet wiring and minimizes field wiring errors, while enhancing safety with a padlockable OFF position during maintenance. It is ideally suited for HVAC equipment such as air handling units, rooftop units, and packaged fans where quick on-site service matters. The drive covers a broad horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, enabling a single product family to support multiple motor sizes. This reduces stocking complexity and ensures optimized motor speed control for energy efficiency and reliable start/stop performance in commercial buildings. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display provides local control and fast fault diagnosis, accelerating commissioning and on-site troubleshooting. Provisions for external control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with building management systems and automation networks for coordinated operation of multiple drives. Electronic motor overload protection helps minimize motor damage and extend equipment life, while the input disconnect and padlockable OFF position enhance maintenance safety and regulatory compliance. Overall, the ACH580 Packaged Drive offers installation efficiency, robust protection, and compatibility with modern HVAC control architectures, delivering measurable reductions in downtime and total cost of ownership.
