ABB ACH580-VDR-014A-4 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000225656
Quick Summary
HVAC drive ACH580-VDR-014A-4 provides precise motor control for HVAC systems in commercial and industrial environments. It addresses installation complexity, downtime, and regulatory compliance with a built‑in disconnect and a rugged UL Type 1 enclosure. Key certifications include UL Type 1 enclosure (NEMA 1), ABB E‑Clipse bypass for safe bypass operation, and electronic motor overload protection. Designed for the 1–75 hp range across 230/460/575 V, it enables energy efficiency and scalable deployment, reducing total cost of ownership. With integrated protection and a door-mounted control panel, technicians can commission systems faster while field wiring is simplified. This combination supports preventative maintenance regimes and easier compliance audits in regulated industries.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225656 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
E-Clipse bypass with bypass motor starter and fast-acting drive fuses reduces maintenance downtime and simplifies service. In practice, technicians can bypass the drive quickly during motor startup or fault recovery, minimizing production interruptions in AHU retrofits and factory floors. UL Type 1 enclosure with a door-mounted control panel provides local control and safe servicing in shared spaces. It also supports external control connections and serial communications for integration with building management systems. Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker ensures safe servicing and code compliance, enabling lockout/tagout procedures during maintenance. Electronic motor overload protection guards the motor and drive against overload, reducing nuisance trips and extending motor life in variable load conditions. 1–75 hp compatibility across 230/460/575 V enables scalable upgrades—from small fans to large AHUs—delivering a lower total cost of ownership. Built-in communications and external control support simplify integration with modern building automation, enabling remote monitoring and faster fault diagnosis.

FAQs
Yes. The ACH580-VDR-014A-4 is designed to operate across 230/460/575 V and supports a motor power range from 1 to 75 hp. Its integrated UL Type 1 enclosure and E-Clipse bypass simplify installation and service for HVAC applications, while the door-mounted control panel provides convenient local control. This makes it suitable for a wide variety of fans, pumps, and air handling units in both retrofit and new-build projects.
ABB E-Clipse bypass is a built-in bypass circuit that allows the drive to be swapped or serviced without stopping the motor, reducing downtime. It pairs with a bypass motor starter and fast-acting drive fuses to protect the drive during maintenance. For HVAC systems, this means quicker repairs, easier fault isolation, and less production interruption on critical AHU and ventilation equipment.
This drive is well suited for air handling units, large fans, pump applications, and general HVAC systems in commercial, data center, and light industrial facilities. Its 1–75 hp range, 230/460/575 V compatibility, and integrated protection features enable precise motor control, energy efficiency, and reliable operation across varied climate control tasks.
Key certifications include UL Type 1 enclosure, with NEMA 1 compatibility, and a door-mounted interlocked switch that is padlockable in the OFF position. Safety features include electronic motor overload protection, externally accessible control connections, and a robust bypass option. These attributes support code-compliant installations and safer maintenance practices in regulated environments.
The ACH580-VDR-014A-4 leverages energy-efficient motor speed control, integrated bypass, and simplified wiring to reduce energy use and installation time. Reduced downtime from quick bypass during maintenance, along with enhanced protection features, lowers maintenance costs and extends motor life. For projects ranging 1–75 hp, this translates to faster commissioning, fewer spare parts, and a shorter payback period.
