ABB 3AUA0000225780 ACH580 UL Type 1/12/3R E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000225780
Quick Summary
ACH580 HVAC drive provides precise variable-speed motor control for air handling and comfort cooling applications. Engineers often struggle with bypass reliability, safety interlocks, and space constraints when upgrading legacy HVAC drives. UL-listed protection and compatibility with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, plus integrated electronic motor overload protection, help ensure regulatory compliance and safe operation. The drive supports local control panels and external control connections, reducing commissioning time and wiring complexity. In practice, it integrates with building management systems through serial communications, enabling scalable automation and ongoing energy optimization across facilities. This combination translates to improved system uptime, reduced maintenance, and a clearer path to ROI in modern facilities.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225780 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
Plan for compatibility with 230/460/575 V supply, ensure your enclosure supports UL Type 1/12/3R, and allocate space for the door-mounted control panel. The unit provides an integrated bypass starter and circuit protection, reducing external wiring. Verify the interlocked, padlockable OFF to meet safety protocols and align with local electrical codes. Pre-wiring the external control connections can streamline commissioning and minimize on-site time.
Key specs include horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp, voltage options of 230/460/575 V, and built-in electronic motor overload protection. The ABB E-Clipse bypass reduces downtime during maintenance, while the drive’s integrated fuses and optional disconnect aid protection against faults. Serial communications capabilities enable integration with building management systems for monitoring and optimization.
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for HVAC systems such as air handling units, rooftop units, and packaged systems common in commercial buildings, while also serving light industrial cooling and process HVAC needs. Its flexible enclosure options and bypass capability support diverse installations, from retrofit projects to new builds. The device’s protection and communication features help align with both building automation and industrial control architectures.
The ACH580 is UL-listed and compatible with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, providing proven protection for indoor installation environments. The combination of electronic motor overload protection, door-mounted interlocks, and padlockable OFF controls enhances safety compliance. While CE and IP ratings are not explicitly stated in the data, the UL and NEMA enclosure support offers robust regulatory alignment for typical HVAC installations.
ROI improves through reduced downtime during bypass operations, lower maintenance costs due to integrated protection, and easier commissioning from the door-mounted display. The ability to consolidate drive, bypass, and protection in one unit shortens installation time and reduces wiring complexity, delivering faster payback and longer equipment life in retrofit programs.
