ABB ACH580-BCR-04A8-4+B056 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1/12
Part Number: 3AUA0000225792
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-BCR-04A8-4+B056 is an HVAC packaged drive that simplifies motor control for commercial and industrial HVAC systems. Engineers often struggle with integrating a reliable bypass, a door-mounted disconnect, and motor overload protection in compact, retrofit-friendly footprints. This ABB solution leverages a UL-listed, NEMA-compatible enclosure with E-Clipse bypass and a built-in bypass starter to streamline wiring and serviceability. Certifications and standards alignment are central to its value proposition, including UL listing and compatibility with common regulatory expectations such as CE compliance and IP-rated protection in harsh environments. Beyond protection and compliance, the ACH580 improves energy efficiency through precise motor control, reducing operating costs while delivering robust integration with building automation and remote diagnostics.

FAQs
What enclosure rating is required and how should the unit be mounted? The ACH580-BCR-04A8-4+B056 is designed for UL Type 1/12 or 3R enclosures and should be mounted with adequate clearance for service access. Ensure the door-mounted control panel is accessible, the bypass is wired correctly, and the interlocked disconnect is configured to meet lockout/tagout requirements. Verify voltage (230/460/575 V) and horsepower range (1–350 hp) to match the driven load. Proper grounding and shielded control wiring are essential for reliable operation and to minimize EMI in HVAC environments.
The drive supports a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and operates at 230/460/575 V. It includes electronic motor overload protection and a bypass starter integrated with E-Clipse bypass. The unit also provides serial communications capability for integration with building management systems. The standard configuration includes a door-mounted graphical display for local control and monitoring, facilitating quick troubleshooting and commissioning.
Yes. With a broad 1–350 hp range and 230/460/575 V operation, the ACH580-BCR-04A8-4+B056 is versatile for a spectrum of HVAC applications—from compact fans in rooftop units to larger air handling systems and chillers requiring precise VFD-based control, energy savings, and reliable bypass operation. Its integrated protection and easy wiring make it suitable for retrofit projects and new installations alike.
The drive comes with UL-listed protection and is designed for NEMA-type enclosures, specifically Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R configurations. While the model emphasizes UL listing and mechanical enclosure compatibility, it aligns with standard safety expectations for HVAC drives, enabling safer operation, easier maintenance, and compliant installation in commercial environments.
By incorporating an integrated E-Clipse bypass and a door-mounted disconnect, the ACH580-BCR-04A8-4+B056 reduces field wiring and downtime during maintenance, lowering service costs. Electronic overload protection and precise speed control contribute to energy savings and longer motor life, delivering a favorable return on investment through lower energy bills and reduced unplanned outages in HVAC systems.
