ABB ACH580-BCR-06A1-6 HVAC Drive - UL NEMA Enclosure with E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000226983
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-BCR-06A1-6 HVAC drive is a compact motor controller designed for packaged HVAC systems, delivering precise speed control and integrated bypass. The solution addresses downtime and maintenance complexity common in mechanical rooms by using ABB E-Clipse bypass and a door-interlocked disconnect for safer servicing. Key certifications include UL-listed NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure, and electronic motor overload protection that helps meet harsh environment requirements. The device supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and includes a door-mounted graphical control panel with serial communications, enabling streamlined commissioning and remote monitoring. This combination reduces energy waste, lowers maintenance costs, and accelerates project timelines in commercial and industrial HVAC projects.
Product Information
Extended Description

FAQs
Plan for a UL-listed NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure installation in a mechanical room or equipment closet. Ensure 230/460/575 V supply is wired to the drive, and use the door-interlocked disconnect or circuit breaker for safety. The cabinet should accommodate the door-mounted graphical control panel for local control and allow room for the bypass starter integration.
This drive supports 1 to 350 hp across 230/460/575 V supplies and includes an E-Clipse bypass with a bypass starter. It provides electronic motor overload protection, serial communications, and a control panel for local operation, enabling precise speed control and reliable operation in HVAC fans and pumps.
Yes. The integrated bypass and electronic overload protection are ideal for HVAC fans and pumps in packaged systems. The voltage flexibility and enclosure options simplify installation in commercial buildings, while the graphical control panel and communications support ease commissioning, monitoring, and integration with building management systems.
The ACH580-BCR-06A1-6 is designed for UL-compliant use with a NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosure. This combination supports safe operation in typical HVAC mechanical rooms, with protection suitable for indoor environments and standard industrial facilities.
Expect reduced downtime due to the E-Clipse bypass, safer servicing via door-interlocked disconnects, and improved motor protection that lowers repair costs. Energy efficiency gains from precise VFD control, plus simpler diagnostics through the graphical panel and serial connectivity, contribute to shorter payback and operations savings over time.
