ABB 3AUA0000225802 ACH580 HVAC Drive - UL Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000225802
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive delivers precise motor control for HVAC systems such as fans and pumps in commercial buildings. Engineers often contend with bulky wiring, inconsistent performance, and downtime during commissioning, especially when integrating bypass protection. The solution leverages UL-listed enclosure options (Type 1, 12 or 3R) and supports 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V, ensuring safe, scalable control. This combination reduces installation complexity, shortens commissioning time, and improves overall reliability for building automation projects while supporting energy-efficient operation and easy integration with existing control networks.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225802 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 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
The ACH580 integrates an ABB E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter, enabling a direct bypass path for the motor. This reduces mechanical wear and simplifies maintenance, while also shortening commissioning cycles since bypass logic is built into the drive. In practice, HVAC fans and pumps experience less downtime during maintenance windows and quicker recovery after faults, delivering improved uptime and energy efficiency in building systems. The built-in bypass path also supports seamless equipment transitions during service or outage events, improving reliability in critical facilities such as data centers and hospitals. The integrated bypass capability translates to lower spare parts inventories and fewer field wiring errors, reducing total cost of ownership over the drive’s lifecycle. This feature is particularly advantageous in retrofit projects where maximizing existing infrastructure is essential.

FAQs
ACH580 is designed for 230/460/575 V systems and supports UL-listed Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. It includes a door-mounted control panel, an integrated bypass, and a padlockable OFF disconnect, simplifying panel wiring, lockout-tagout procedures, and safety compliance during installation and future maintenance.
The ACH580 provides electronic motor overload protection that continuously monitors current and thermal conditions to prevent overheating and stall conditions. By preventing sustained overloads, it reduces insulation stress, extends motor life, and lowers maintenance costs while maintaining consistent process performance in HVAC applications.
Yes. The drive covers 1–350 hp with 230/460/575 V operation, making it suitable for a range of fans and pumps in large commercial systems, data centers, and industrial facilities. The E-Clipse bypass simplifies fault tolerance and reduces downtime during critical operations.
The ACH580 is designed for UL-listed enclosure configurations, including Type 1, 12, and 3R, which align with common industrial safety standards. This supports safe installation in varied environments and eases certifications for facility upgrades and new builds.
By integrating a bypass starter, door-mounted control, and built-in protections, the ACH580 reduces wiring complexity, downtime, and spare part requirements. The result is faster commissioning, lower energy consumption, and a lower total cost of ownership over the drive’s lifecycle, improving return on investment for building automation projects.
