ABB ACH580-VDR-02A1-4 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure & E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000225653
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-VDR-02A1-4 HVAC drive provides precise motor speed control for HVAC fans and pumps in buildings. That precision helps prevent motor over-speed and energy waste during variable loads and seasonal changes. Key certifications include UL-listed protection with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure for safe, code-compliant operation. With 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V, it scales from small ventilation to larger plant circuits. Combined with its integrated bypass, robust protection, and serial communications, it delivers a reliable, easy-to-install solution with lower lifecycle costs.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225653 ABB: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V. The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass provides an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses, with door mounted and interlocked switch (padlockable in the OFF position), a bypass starter, electronic motor overload protection, a door mounted control panel with graphical display for local control, provisions for external control connections, and serial communications capability
ABB E-Clipse bypass is integrated with a bypass starter, providing a seamless path for motor maintenance. This reduces downtime and simplifies service, improving maintenance workflows on air-handling units and large fans. Ideal for retrofit projects where uptime matters during seasonal peaks. Integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with an input disconnect or circuit breaker and fast-acting drive fuses. This configuration simplifies enclosure wiring, protects personnel, and supports code-compliant installs in service entrances and equipment rooms with limited space. Electronic motor overload protection helps prevent motor damage and reduces spare parts costs, extending motor life in variable HVAC loads such as fans and pumps. Door-mounted control panel with graphical display and provisions for external control connections accelerates commissioning, enables quick diagnostics, and eases remote adjustments for building automation. Serial communications capability enables seamless integration with modern BMS and automation networks, supporting remote monitoring, fault detection, and energy optimization for large facilities. Horsepower and voltage range of 1–75 hp and 230/460/575 V provides scalable deployment across retrofits and new builds, reducing inventory needs and simplifying procurement for mixed HVAC fleets.

FAQs
The ACH580-VDR-02A1-4 is designed for straightforward retrofit and new-build installations. Begin by selecting the 460 V configuration, connect power to the input disconnect or circuit breaker, and wire the drive fuses per the enclosure guidelines. The door-mounted graphical control panel enables on-site commissioning, while the E-Clipse bypass can be engaged for safe, maintenance-only bypass testing without removing the drive. Ensure external control connections and serial communications are configured for your BMS to enable remote monitoring and fault reporting.
Key protections include electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses, reducing motor wear and protecting fans and pumps from electrical faults. The UL-listed, NEMA Type 1 enclosure provides safe installation in standard mechanical rooms, while the integrated bypass helps maintain operation during service. These features minimize unplanned downtime and extend motor life in variable HVAC loads.
Yes. The ACH580-VDR-02A1-4 supports 1–75 hp at 230/460/575 V, making it versatile for small to medium HVAC fans and pumps. The E-Clipse bypass simplifies maintenance, and the door-mounted control panel aids commissioning. Its compact enclosure and wiring efficiency suit retrofit projects where space, downtime, and integration with existing controls are critical.
This ACH580 variant is UL-listed and configured with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, aligning with US market safety and enclosure standards. The combination supports safe operation in standard mechanical rooms and helps meet common facility compliance requirements during installation and ongoing service.
The integrated E-Clipse bypass reduces maintenance downtime by allowing a safe bypass path during servicing, avoiding drive removal. Graphical local control and serial communications simplify commissioning and remote monitoring, enabling predictive maintenance. Over the life of the system, these capabilities translate to lower service costs, reduced energy waste, and faster ROI for HVAC upgrades or new builds.
