ABB ACH580-BCR-041A-6+B056 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000226990
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-BCR-041A-6+B056 HVAC Drive is a packaged variable-frequency drive with an integrated E-Clipse bypass designed for HVAC equipment. It consolidates drive control, bypass switching, and protection in a single enclosure to simplify installation in tight spaces. Engineers often struggle with combining motor control and safe bypass access in code-compliant cabinets, which this solution addresses with a door-mounted control panel and interlocked disconnect. This configuration supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and offers UL-listed, NEMA-style Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures for safer, compliant operation. By using this platform, contractors can reduce wiring complexity, streamline maintenance, and improve fault isolation, while keeping a focus on reliability and remote connectivity for modern building automation.

FAQs
Plan for the integrated E-Clipse bypass and bypass starter to be accessible within the enclosure, ensuring space for the door-mounted control panel and external control connections. Verify compatibility with UL Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures and provide adequate ventilation. Ensure the disconnect device is padlockable in the OFF position for safe maintenance access. Take note of 230/460/575 V supply and 1–350 hp range during layout.
The drive covers 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, with electronic motor overload protection and an integrated input disconnect switch or circuit breaker. It features a door-mounted control panel with local display and supports serial communications for remote monitoring. This combination supports robust protection and flexible integration in HVAC systems.
Yes. The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is offered with UL-listed configurations compatible with NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures. This provides versatility for indoor mechanical rooms, equipment closets, and areas requiring varied environmental protection. When designing, select the enclosure type to match exposure and maintenance practices, ensuring compliance with local electrical codes.
E-Clipse bypass integrates a bypass starter within the drive assembly, allowing the motor to continue operation or be safely isolated for maintenance without removing the drive. This reduces downtime, simplifies wiring, and enables quicker servicing. For HVAC applications, it translates to faster fault isolation and safer commissioning with fewer field connections.
The ACH580 enables efficient variable-speed control for fans and pumps, delivering energy savings through reduced system flow and pressure variations. The integrated bypass and protective features simplify maintenance, lowering downtime and service costs. Combined with remote monitoring via serial communications, this supports predictive maintenance and faster decision-making for a favorable total cost of ownership.
