ABB 3AUA0000225809 ACH580 Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000225809
Quick Summary
ACH580 drive is a compact variable frequency drive designed for HVAC applications, delivering precise motor control for fans, pumps, and conveyors. Engineers often struggle with integrating a safe bypass, local control, and protective features in a single, space-efficient package. This ABB solution ships with a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure, a bypass starter, and an interlocked input disconnect, enabling safe maintenance without powering down the entire system. The drive handles 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and includes electronic motor overload protection plus a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display for intuitive diagnostics. Together, these features translate into shorter commissioning times, reduced downtime, and predictable energy efficiency for HVAC systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225809 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
Integrated ABB E-Clipse bypass with bypass motor starter reduces wiring complexity by keeping drive and bypass in one compact package. This simplification lowers commissioning time and minimizes miswiring, delivering faster maintenance cycles for critical HVAC equipment such as air handling units and rooftop systems. The UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with a door-mounted, interlocked input disconnect (padlockable OFF) enhances safety and compliance in mechanical rooms and outdoor installations, while reducing panel footprint and simplifying lockout/tagout procedures. Electronic motor overload protection guards motor health and improves reliability, with adjustable settings to minimize nuisance trips across 1 to 350 hp motors at 230/460/575 V. A door-mounted graphical display plus serial communications enable rapid diagnostics and seamless integration with building automation and EMCS systems. These combined capabilities support faster commissioning, improved uptime, and better lifecycle cost management for HVAC plants.
