Part Number: 3AUA0000225663
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC packaged drive precisely controls motors in HVAC systems for commercial buildings. Facilities engineers often struggle with integrating a reliable bypass and a clean disconnect without expanding cabinet size or compromising safety. It is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, with electronic motor overload protection to guard critical equipment. By combining advanced motor control with remote monitoring and built-in safety features, it delivers energy-efficient performance while simplifying installation, maintenance, and compliance processes. This makes it a dependable foundation for modern building automation initiatives, including demand response and smart HVAC strategies. It supports easier procurement and faster commissioning for engineering teams.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225663 ABB: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 350 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 motor starter inside the enclosure, reducing wiring complexity and cabinet footprint. This compact design shortens installation time and enhances startup reliability, especially in retrofit projects. It’s well-suited for air handlers and VAV fans in commercial HVAC where downtime directly affects comfort and energy use. UL Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure options with a door-mounted graphical control panel simplify installation and local operation. The enclosure protection reduces exposure to dust or moisture in mechanical rooms, helping you meet code requirements with less field wiring. This setup accelerates commissioning and enhances technician safety during service. Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses enables rapid isolation for maintenance and enhanced safety. This reduces risk during service and supports code-compliant lockout/tagout procedures. It’s particularly valuable in data centers, hospitals, and manufacturing plants where uptime matters. Electronic motor overload protection protects motors from overheating and overload conditions while the drive continues to operate within safe limits. Coupled with a door-mounted control panel, technicians can monitor motor health on-site and perform quick adjustments during commissioning. Serial communications capability and external control connections enable integration with building management systems and remote monitoring platforms. This supports proactive diagnostics, energy management programs, and centralized control of HVAC motors across multiple zones. The ACH580 delivers a scalable horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp at common supply voltages 230/460/575 V to match motor sizes from fans to pumps. This flexibility reduces the need for multiple drive SKUs and simplifies procurement. For retrofit projects, the broad voltage compatibility eases replacement and spare-part planning.
