ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUD0000004558
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive controls HVAC motors with integrated protection for industrial and commercial systems. Many users struggle with mismatched components and wiring errors that drive up commissioning time. UL listing, CE marking, and NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure provide safety, regulatory compliance, and environmental protection. The packaged design reduces BOM complexity and simplifies installation by delivering drive, disconnect, and controller in one enclosure. For engineers and procurement teams, this translates to lower lifecycle costs, faster commissioning, and reliable operation across varied voltages and environments. Built-in motor overload protection and local control panel accelerate commissioning by reducing external components and wiring diagrams. Additionally, serial communications enable seamless integration with modern industrial control systems and Building Management Systems for proactive maintenance.

FAQs
Begin by selecting the UL/NEMA Type 1 enclosure and verify voltage compatibility (230/460/575 V) with the system. Mount the packaged drive, ensure the padlockable input disconnect is secured in OFF, and wire the drive to the motor with correct grounding. Install the door-mounted control panel, connect external control wiring, and enable the electronic protection features. Finally, perform a factory-to-field parameter import, run a controlled start-up, and verify protective interlocks and communications to the automation system.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports 1 to 350 horsepower and operates at 230/460/575 V. It includes electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted graphical control panel, and serial communications capability for integration with control systems. The enclosure options include UL/NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R, providing protection against dust, moisture, andiro safety requirements. This combination enables efficient motor control for HVAC pumps and fans with reliable protection.
This packaged drive excels in HVAC applications such as fan and pump control, where reliable speed regulation and protection reduce energy consumption and wear. It is also suitable for conveyors and building automation projects requiring compact, integrated motor control in a single enclosure. The design supports scalable deployment across commercial and industrial facilities, with easy integration into existing control networks.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for UL-listed, CE-marked usage, and is offered in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. These certifications ensure safe operation, electrical compatibility with regional safety standards, and suitability for indoor environments. Always verify local regulatory requirements for installation and maintenance in your region.
A packaged drive reduces BOM complexity and wiring points, which lowers installation time and potential field failures. Built-in protection and local control simplify maintenance, while serial communications enable remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance. Over the lifecycle, this translates to reduced downtime, lower spare-part inventory, and a faster return on investment due to energy-efficient operation and faster project execution.
