ABB ACH580 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass UL Certification
Part Number: 3AUA0000227001
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC Drive is a packaged variable-speed solution for HVAC equipment such as air handling units. It reduces field wiring complexity and downtime by integrating a bypass starter and door-mounted disconnect in a single enclosure. The family includes UL-certified, NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures with electronic motor overload protection for reliable protection in varying environments. Rated from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, the ACH580 scales from retrofit projects to new installations, delivering energy efficiency and simplified maintenance. For engineering and procurement teams, this means lower installation risk, faster time-to-value, and confident ongoing performance in automated HVAC systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227001 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 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
Integrated ABB E-Clipse bypass and bypass starter streamline start-up and reduce motor wear. This tight integration lowers wiring complexity and speeds commissioning, which translates to shorter downtime during installation or maintenance in chillers and packaged rooftop units. Door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local control and diagnostics, improving operator visibility and speeding fault isolation, which reduces service calls and extends equipment life in large facilities. The input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with interlocked, padlockable OFF door enhances safety and compliance with lockout-tagout requirements, simplifying maintenance workflows in commercial HVAC deployments. A wide horsepower and voltage range—1 to 350 hp and 230/460/575 V—provides scalable solutions for retrofits and new builds alike, lowering capital expenditure and enabling standardized fleets across multiple sites. Serial communications capability and external control connections support seamless BMS/PLC integration, enabling remote monitoring and energy-management strategies that drive ongoing cost savings. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against faults, minimizing unplanned outages and preserving uptime for mission-critical HVAC installations.

FAQs
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is designed for integration into UL/NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosures and can replace standalone starters in many air handlers and rooftop units. Ensure space for the drive, confirm voltage (230/460/575 V), and use the door-mounted control panel for local setup and commissioning. Wiring is streamlined through the built-in bypass starter and interlocked disconnect, reducing field install time and risk.
The ACH580 supports 1 to 350 hp across 230/460/575 V supplies, making it suitable for mid to large HVAC applications. This range enables scalable upgrades from retrofit projects to new installations, while maintaining consistent control and protection features.
Yes. The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is designed for HVAC equipment such as air handlers, rooftop units, and chillers, delivering precise motor control, integrated bypass, and a robust protection scheme to support continuous operation in commercial environments.
The drive offers UL-certified, NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options, electronic motor overload protection, and a door-mounted control panel with interlock. These features support safe operation, compliance with shutdown standards, and reliable protection in diverse installation conditions.
Expect reduced maintenance trips due to integrated diagnostics and local control, safer servicing with lockable disconnects, and energy savings from precise speed control. The built-in protections and remote readiness also shorten downtime during upgrades and support long-term total cost of ownership reductions.
