ABB 3AUA0000226976 Motors & Drives - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000226976
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 drive with E-Clipse bypass provides compact motor control for HVAC equipment. The solution addresses common installation pain points by combining a bypass starter, protection, and control in a single enclosure, reducing wiring complexity and field assembly time. It is UL-listed and offered with NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure options to match installation environments, improving safety and compliance. With electronic overload protection, a door-mounted graphical control panel, and the option for external control connections, technicians can diagnose and adjust performance quickly. This integrated approach supports efficient HVAC automation, simplifies retrofits, and scales from small to large fans and pumps, aligning with broader industrial automation and energy-efficiency goals.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226976 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: E-Clipse bypass is integrated into the ACH580 drive; this eliminates the need for external bypass hardware and reduces wiring complexity. Business Impact: maintenance is faster and downtime is minimized because bypassed operation can continue while the drive is serviced. Application: ideal for HVAC fans, pumps, and air handling units where serviceability and reliability matter. Feature: UL-listed with NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options; the enclosure selection protects sensitive electronics in varied environments. Business Impact: improves safety, reduces protection-related installation questions, and supports code compliance. Application: suitable for mechanical rooms, ceilings, or outdoor installations with proper enclosure. Feature: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and an interlocked door; this provides clear fault isolation. Business Impact: enhances personnel safety and simplifies regulatory adherence during commissioning and maintenance. Application: control panels in commercial buildings and industrial HVAC installations. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection plus a door-mounted control panel with graphical display; enables quick diagnostics and tuning. Business Impact: lowers field service costs and shortens commissioning time. Application: precision motor control for variable speed applications in HVAC. Feature: Wide voltage and horsepower range: 230/460/575 V, 1–350 hp; flexible deployment across multiple motor sizes. Business Impact: supports scalable upgrades and retrofit projects without replacing the drive. Application: fans, pumps, conveyors, and energy-intensive equipment in industrial facilities. Feature: Serial communications capability; supports integration into automation networks. Business Impact: streamlines control, monitoring, and data collection within Building Management and industrial systems. Application: centralized HVAC control, remote diagnostics, and energy management.
