Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226980 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 E-Clipse bypass with bypass motor starter and door interlock. This combination reduces wiring complexity and cabinet footprint while providing a safe bypass path for maintenance. Application: HVAC fans and pumps in commercial buildings where uptime and serviceability are critical. Feature: UL (NEMA) Type enclosure options with drive integration (Type 1, 12, or 3R). This versatility lets you protect drives in a range of environments without separate enclosures. Application: retrofit projects or new installations in data centers, hospitals, and office campuses. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted graphical control panel. Benefit: precise motor protection, quick local setup, and simplified fault diagnosis. Application: commissioning and on-site adjustments in space-constrained electrical rooms. Feature: Serial communications capability for integration with Building Management Systems and SCADA. Benefit: centralized monitoring, energy optimization, and streamlined alarms. Application: energy-management workflows and remote diagnostics in large facilities. Feature: Wide motor-range—1 to 350 hp with voltages of 230/460/575 V. Benefit: scalable drive architecture suitable for replacements and upgrades across existing motor fleets. Application: retrofit programs in commercial HVAC and industrial processes. Feature: Safety enhancements including a padlockable OFF door and interlocked bypass switch. Benefit: safer maintenance windows and compliance with lockout/tagout procedures. Application: service routines for rooftop units and air handlers. Feature: Compact packaging and reduced wiring needs improve installation efficiency. Benefit: shorter commissioning times, lower panel space, and easier cabinet planning. Application: new-build and retrofit installations in mechanical rooms. Feature: Robust design for dynamic HVAC duty cycles and long-term reliability. Benefit: lower total cost of ownership through reduced downtime and fewer spare parts. Application: critical facilities like data centers and hospitals.

FAQs
To install 3AUA0000226980, verify the motor horsepower and voltage (1 to 350 hp, 230/460/575 V) and choose the appropriate enclosure type. Mount the unit with E-Clipse bypass, connect the input disconnect or circuit breaker, and install the door interlock. Program electronic overload protection and enable serial communications to BAS for integrated control.
Key specs include 150 Hp and 144 A at 575 V, with scalable speed control and built-in protection. The drive supports safe bypass, drive fuses, and electronic overload protection to minimize faults. Integration with Building Management Systems via serial communications enables energy optimization and proactive maintenance.
Yes. The 3AUA0000226980 is designed for HVAC fans, pumps, rooftops, AHUs, and chilled-water systems. Its integrated bypass and control panel simplify service, while enclosure options protect electronics in mechanical rooms. With flexible voltages and horsepower ratings, it accommodates retrofit projects and new builds alike.
Certifications include CE marking and UL listing for safe operation in commercial environments, along with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure compatibility. While the unit supports IP-rated protection depending on the chosen cabinet, always select an enclosure that matches your environment. These certifications help meet regulatory and safety requirements in most regions.
ROI comes from reduced wiring, simplified maintenance, and fewer components thanks to the integrated bypass and control panel. Energy-efficient motor control lowers running costs, and faster commissioning reduces project timelines. In service, electronic overload protection minimizes motor wear, while BAS integration supports predictive maintenance and remote diagnostics.
