ABB ACH580 3AUA0000225779 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000225779
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive delivers precise motor control for HVAC systems. Engineers often struggle with safe bypass integration, space-constraint enclosures, and compliant disconnects in packaged drives. UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure options support safe installation across environments; CE-compliant configurations extend suitability for European markets, and IP-rated variants address harsher environments. The ACH580 streamlines control with a door-mounted control panel and serial communications, enabling scalable HVAC automation. This combination reduces downtime, simplifies integration with building management systems, and delivers measurable energy savings and maintenance efficiency. For procurement teams, the compact design translates to faster installation and lower total cost of ownership.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225779 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.

FAQs
Begin with selecting the appropriate UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure for your environment. Connect the E-Clipse bypass per the wiring diagram, install the bypass starter, and ensure the door interlock is functional. Use the door-mounted control panel for local setup, then verify wiring integrity and perform a commissioning check using the drive’s graphical display.
Its integrated E-Clipse bypass simplifies bypass operation, while electronic motor overload protection guards motors during variable loads typical of fans and pumps. The device supports external controls and serial communications, enabling seamless integration with building management systems and scalable HVAC automation.
Yes. The drive is designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure configurations, with CE-compliant options for European markets and IP-rated variants for harsher environments, ensuring broad compliance and protective enclosure choices for many installations.
The E-Clipse bypass reduces installation complexity and space requirements while enhancing safety during bypass operations. The door-mounted control panel provides intuitive local control and diagnostics, and its graphical display supports quick setup, status checks, and troubleshooting without external devices.
Improved energy efficiency from precise motor speed control lowers operating costs, while reduced downtime and faster commissioning shorten project timelines. Integrated protections and remote monitoring capabilities also decrease maintenance costs and extend motor life, contributing to a favorable total cost of ownership for HVAC deployments.
