ABB ACH580 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass, UL Type 1/12/3R Enclosure
Part Number: 3AUA0000225812
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC Drive controls motor speed for efficient packaged HVAC systems. Engineers often face downtime and wiring complexity when adding bypass protection and local control panels. Key ratings include UL listing and compatible NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosures, providing safe, compliant installations in mechanical rooms, rooftops, and equipment bays. The drive supports 230/460/575 V and spans 1 to 350 hp, with built-in electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted graphical control panel for local operation. The optional ABB E-Clipse bypass further simplifies servicing by routing power around the motor starter without removing the drive, while serial communications enable seamless integration with building management systems and remote monitoring.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225812 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

FAQs
Installers should plan for 230/460/575 V supply, confirm enclosure compatibility with UL Type 1/12/3R configurations, and use the door-mounted control panel for local setup. Ensure the bypass path is wired per the bypass starter instructions and that the input disconnect or circuit breaker is padlockable in OFF. Serial communications may be wired to a BMS for monitoring.
The E-Clipse bypass provides a bypass path that allows service to be performed without fully disarming the drive, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance. It isolates the motor starter while keeping the drive powered for monitoring, enabling safer, faster servicing and minimizing disruption to HVAC operation.
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for HVAC packaged systems up to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and supports enclosed installations with UL Type 1/12/3R enclosures. Its bypass, integrated protection, and local/remote control options make it a strong fit for rooftop units and large air-handling installations requiring reliability and ease of integration.
The ACH580 carries UL listing and is compatible with NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure configurations, ensuring safe operation in mechanical rooms and outdoor environments. While CE/IP specifics are not listed here, the combination of UL compliance and enclosure versatility supports regulatory readiness for many commercial HVAC projects.
The ACH580 delivers energy-efficient motor control with precise speed regulation, reducing energy consumption in fans and compressors. Built-in motor overload protection lowers maintenance costs, the E-Clipse bypass minimizes downtime, and serial communications simplify monitoring and integration with BMS, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and faster project payback.
