Part Number: 3AUA0000225783
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-BCR-052A-4 HVAC drive is a packaged speed control solution designed for commercial and industrial HVAC systems. In practice, engineers contend with wiring complexity, extended commissioning, and risk of miswired protection during bypass startup. This model is UL-listed with NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures and CE-compliant design, ensuring robust protection and regulatory alignment. The e-Clipse bypass integrates a bypass motor starter and fast-acting drive fuses, while door-mounted controls support local operation. With integrated disconnect options and serial communications, this drive lowers maintenance costs and accelerates service in energy-management campaigns.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225783 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.
Feature: E-Clipse bypass with integrated bypass motor starter and drive fuses. Business Impact: streamlines installation, simplifies maintenance, and enhances fault isolation, reducing commissioning time and on-site wiring errors. Application: ideal for HVAC packaged drives governing fans, pumps, and compressors in commercial buildings and industrial plants, where rapid startup and reliable bypass control minimize downtime and support safer lockout-tagout procedures. Feature: UL-listed with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure options. Business Impact: robust environmental protection and compliance confidence, enabling code-adherent installations in mechanical rooms, rooftops, or outdoor-rated spaces. Application: air handling units, rooftop HVAC units, and packaged compressor systems requiring durable enclosures and straightforward service access. Feature: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses; door-mounted and interlocked switch padlockable in OFF position. Business Impact: safe isolation during maintenance, reduced risk of accidental energization, and easier regulatory audits. Application: critical HVAC drives in factories and data centers where personnel safety and rapid containment are priorities. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display and local control; provisions for external control connections; serial communications capability. Business Impact: faster commissioning, intuitive diagnostics, and easier integration with plant networks. Application: service bays and control rooms where operators need real-time visibility and remote monitoring for preventive maintenance and energy management.

FAQs
The ACH580-BCR-052A-4 is designed for commercial and industrial HVAC systems, including air handlers, rooftop units, pumps, and compressors. It delivers packaged speed control with an integrated E-Clipse bypass, supporting 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V. This makes it ideal for installations requiring reliable bypass operation, streamlined wiring, and easy integration with building systems.
The E-Clipse bypass provides an integrated bypass motor starter and fast-acting drive fuses within a protected enclosure, enabling safe isolation and simplified maintenance. The door-mounted, interlocked switch is padlockable in OFF, reducing the chance of accidental energization during service and improving compliance with lockout/tagout procedures.
Yes. The drive includes external control connections and serial communications capability, enabling seamless integration with building management systems (BMS) and plant automation. This supports remote monitoring, fault diagnostics, and energy-management strategies, helping maintain system uptime and optimize HVAC performance across multiple loads.
ABB provides UL-listed enclosures in NEMA Type 1, 12, and 3R configurations. Type 1 is for indoor control rooms, Type 12 offers splash and dust resistance for harsher environments, and Type 3R provides rain-protected outdoor suitability. These options support reliable operation in mechanical rooms, rooftops, and outdoor installations with flexible service access.
Key considerations include selecting the appropriate enclosure type for the installation environment, choosing between input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, and ensuring the door-mounted control panel is accessible for local operation. Plan for external control connections and enable serial communications to integrate with a central automation system, maximizing uptime and energy efficiency.
