ABB 3AUD0000004660 ACH580 Packaged Drive - UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUD0000004660
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 Packaged Drive is an HVAC drive for packaged HVAC systems. It consolidates motor control and protection within a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure, simplifying installation and commissioning. Engineers often struggle with coordinating a drive, control panel, and protection devices onsite, causing delays and risk of noncompliance. This solution integrates an input disconnect (padlockable OFF) with either fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker, plus electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted graphical control panel. By combining local and external control options and serial communications in a single cabinet, it accelerates start-up, reduces wiring, and improves serviceability, while supporting 230/460/575 V systems up to 350 hp.

FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed to fit UL Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures with an integrated input disconnect or circuit breaker. Start with mounting in a clean, airy location, ensure proper clearance for cooling, connect 230/460/575 V supply, and wire motor leads per the drive’s connection diagram. The door-mounted panel provides local control and is compatible with external control connections and serial communications for integration with building management systems.
Key specifications include 1–350 hp capacity at 230/460/575 V and an input arrangement that can use fast-acting fuses or a circuit breaker. The drive offers electronic motor overload protection and supports a range of HVAC motors. Compatibility with ACH580 control logic enables precise speed and torque control, improving energy efficiency and system performance across variable load conditions.
Yes. The packaged design with a UL Type enclosure and integrated protection is well suited for commercial HVAC and data center cooling applications. Its compact footprint, built-in protection, local control panel, and serial communications support make it ideal for centralized fans, pumps, and air-handling units that require reliable motor control with simplified installation.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is designed for UL listing with NEMA Type 1, Type 12, and Type 3R enclosure configurations. This provides robust protection against dust and moisture for a range of installation environments and supports code compliance in typical commercial and industrial facilities. Always verify local regulations and integration with your facility’s electrical standards.
Consolidating drive, protection, and control into a single packaged unit reduces wiring, panel space, and commissioning time, lowering labor costs. Electronic overload protection and an integrated control panel help minimize motor faults and accelerate fault isolation. Over time, energy efficiency improvements from precise speed control and reduced downtime contribute to a favorable ROI in HVAC-centric facilities.
