ABB ACH580-BCR-240A-4 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000225789
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-BCR-240A-4 HVAC drive streamlines motor control for HVAC systems. This compact packaged drive integrates a bypass starter and protective features to simplify installation and reduce space on the equipment floor. Operators often face downtime and wiring errors when adding bypass functionality in complex HVAC packages; the ACH580 consolidates bypass, disconnect, and motor protection in a single module, lowering install time and field wiring mistakes. The drive is UL-listed and available in a choice of enclosure configurations, including NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or 3R, to fit mechanical-room layouts and weather considerations. With a door-mounted control panel, external control connections, and serial communications, commissioning is faster, and ongoing maintenance is easier, delivering measurable lifecycle value.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225789 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.
