ABB ACH580-BCR-052A-6 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000226975
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-BCR-052A-6 HVAC Drive is a packaged variable speed drive that enables precise motor control for commercial HVAC systems. Engineers often wrestle with integrating a drive, bypass, and disconnect into a compact footprint, leading to wiring complexity and maintenance challenges. This unit is UL-listed and supports NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations for reliable installation in equipment rooms. The drive is rated from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, delivering scalable solutions for mid-to-large HVAC applications. By consolidating control, protection, and communications in one enclosure, it lowers total cost of ownership and accelerates commissioning in building automation projects.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226975 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: Integrated ABB ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is packaged in a UL-listed (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with a bypass motor starter. Business Impact: Reduces cabinet footprint, simplifies wiring, and improves serviceability, lowering installation time and ongoing maintenance costs. Application: Ideal for HVAC equipment rooms needing a compact, code-compliant drive-and-switch assembly. Feature: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and a door-mounted interlocked switch padlockable in OFF. Business Impact: Enhances electrical safety, simplifies lockout/tagout procedures, and satisfies common code requirements. Application: Enables safe, compliant maintenance access in industrial plants and building automation installations. Feature: Bypass starter and electronic motor overload protection built into the drive. Business Impact: Minimizes motor stress, reduces unplanned downtime, and extends motor life, delivering measurable TCO savings. Application: Critical for large HVAC fans and pumps subject to load transients. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display plus provisions for external control connections and serial communications. Business Impact: Improves local control and remote monitoring, speeds commissioning, and supports modern building automation protocols. Application: Suitable for retrofit projects and new installations requiring diagnostic visibility. Feature: Broad horsepower and voltage range — 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. Business Impact: Scales from small to large HVAC applications without changing cabinets, enabling a single platform strategy. Application: Broad applicability across commercial and light industrial HVAC drive needs. Feature: Comprehensive protection and integration capabilities reduce wiring complexity and installation time. Business Impact: Streamlines procurement, reduces install risk, and supports faster time-to-ope ration in critical HVAC systems. Application: Ideal for packaged rooftop units, air handling systems, and energy-efficient fan/pump control projects.
