ABB ACH580-BCR-017A-6 HVAC packaged drive - UL Type 1/12/3R
Part Number: 3AUA0000226970
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-BCR-017A-6 HVAC packaged drive controls HVAC motors in commercial and industrial systems. It combines a bypass-enabled drive with a compact enclosure to simplify installation and service in cramped electrical rooms. A common challenge is downtime during maintenance or unexpected faults; this unit minimizes that risk with fast-acting fuses, a door-interlocked control panel, and an optional disconnect or circuit breaker. The drive is UL-listed for US installations and is designed for UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, with regional CE and IP considerations depending on the installation. By unifying motor protection, bypass reliability, and local/remote control, it delivers dependable HVAC performance while reducing energy use and total cost of ownership, supported by serial communications for monitoring and diagnostics.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226970 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, 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.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580-BCR-017A-6 integrates ABB E-Clipse bypass with a bypass starter, reducing maintenance steps and downtime while preserving motor control integrity in HVAC systems. This directly lowers service windows and inventory needs for spare bypass components; ideal for rooftop units and packaged AHUs where reliable bypass is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: An input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and a door-interlocked, padlockable OFF position enhances safety compliance and lockout/tagout readiness, streamlining commissioning and reducing risk during panel servicing. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A door-mounted graphical control panel, external control connections, and serial communications enable quick on-site setup, remote diagnostics, and seamless integration with building management systems, cutting commissioning time and enabling proactive maintenance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1–350 hp support at 230/460/575 V with UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure options provides installation flexibility across commercial and light industrial HVAC applications, lowering integration costs and allowing retrofits in confined spaces. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection delivers precise thermal monitoring and fault isolation, extending motor life, reducing nuisance tripping, and improving process reliability in variable-speed fan and pump applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Energy-efficient VFD control enables optimized ramping, speed modulation, and closed-loop control for variable load scenarios, delivering measurable energy savings and a lower total cost of ownership for HVAC installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Clear compliance alignment with UL safety requirements and standard enclosure compatibility supports fast audits and ensures regulatory readiness, while the option for regional CE/IP considerations supports global deployments. Objection handling: The system’s integrated bypass and robust protection reduce external device dependencies, while its remote communications and local control simplify maintenance planning, even in limited spaces or retrofit projects.
