ABB ACH580-VDR-032A-6 HVAC Drive: E-Clipse Bypass, UL Type1
Part Number: 3AUA0000226955
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-VDR-032A-6 HVAC drive enables precise speed control for HVAC systems and industrial equipment. Facilities struggle with wiring complexity, downtime during bypass transitions, and maintenance challenges. This controller features a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure, an integrated E-Clipse bypass, and electronic motor overload protection to boost safety and reliability. It covers 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V and provides a door-mounted control panel plus serial communications for local or remote operation. By simplifying hardware, enabling faster commissioning, and improving energy efficiency, it reduces total cost of ownership for HVAC and process applications. Engineers benefit from a compact footprint, built-in protection fuses, and straightforward compatibility with external control connections.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226955 ABB: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V. The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass provides an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses, 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
Yes. This ABB drive is designed for 230, 460, and 575 V inputs and supports a horsepower range of 1–75 HP, making it suitable for a broad spectrum of motors in HVAC and industrial applications. Ensure the motor rating aligns with the drive capacity and that wiring follows L1/L2/L3 or equivalent configurations per local codes.
Key features include electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted graphical control panel, and serial communications for remote monitoring. The integrated E-Clipse bypass provides a safe bypass path without adding separate components, while fast-acting drive fuses enhance protection. These elements collectively improve startup, protection, and efficiency in variable speed applications.
Absolutely. The ACH580-VDR-032A-6 is purpose-built for HVAC and process equipment, delivering precise speed control for fans, pumps, and compressors. Its 1–75 HP range at 230/460/575 V, combined with the bypass and enclosure features, makes it a robust choice for retrofit projects and new installations in commercial and light industrial settings.
The drive features a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure suitable for indoor installations and integrated safety features such as a bypass starter, door interlock, and padlockable OFF position. It also provides motor overload protection and compatible integration options, aligning with common electrical safety standards for commercial and industrial environments.
Consolidating bypass, protection, and control into a single unit reduces spare parts, simplifies wiring, and shortens commissioning time, all contributing to lower total cost of ownership. The integrated protection and remote communication enable faster diagnostics and reduced downtime, delivering tangible ROI over the system lifecycle.
