ABB 3AUA0000227002 ACH580 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227002
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive is a compact variable frequency drive optimized for packaged HVAC systems. Facilities teams often wrestle with complex wiring, downtime during bypass servicing, and motor protection in tight mechanical spaces. UL-listed with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and built-in electronic motor overload protection ensure compliance and safety in critical environments. Operating from 1 to 350 hp and 230/460/575 V, it can be deployed across a wide range of equipment, with a door-mounted graphical control panel for local operation. Combined, these features yield easier installation, lower maintenance costs, and improved energy efficiency in commercial and industrial HVAC projects. For integrators, this translates to faster commissioning and scalable control for evolving building automation requirements.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227002 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 E-Clipse bypass with bypass starter and door-interlocked disconnect enables quick, safe bypass operations. This design reduces maintenance downtime by allowing servicing without powering down or rewiring, which is crucial for packaged HVAC units and rooftop systems with tight service windows. UL/NEMA Type enclosure support and built-in protection deliver robust installation in mechanical rooms and outdoor locations, simplifying compliance and reducing field wiring complexity. A wide horsepower and voltage range (1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V) minimizes procurement complexity and inventory, supporting mixed-load projects and faster procurement cycles. A door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local operation and fault diagnostics, speeding commissioning and on-site troubleshooting. Serial communications capability and external control connections enable seamless integration with BMS and automation platforms, improving monitoring and energy reporting. An input disconnect or circuit breaker with interlocked door (padlockable OFF) enhances safety and aligns with site lockout/tagout policies, reducing risk during maintenance and enabling compliant servicing.

FAQs
Plan for a door-mounted control panel and an interlocked input disconnect or circuit breaker to ensure safe servicing. The UL/NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options support wiring in mechanical rooms or outdoor locations. Wire routing should accommodate external control connections and serial communications, enabling easy integration with building management systems while maintaining compliance with safety standards.
The ACH580 handles 1 to 350 horsepower across 230, 460, and 575 V systems. This broad range supports a wide variety of HVAC loads, from small air handlers to large fans, reducing the need for multiple drive types and simplifying spare parts management within the facility.
Yes. Its 1–350 HP range and 230/460/575 V options, combined with the built-in E-Clipse bypass and robust enclosure options, make it well-suited for rooftop outdoor installations and high-demand fans in critical facilities, where reliability and safe bypass during maintenance are essential.
The ACH580 is UL-listed and designed with NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure compatibility. This configuration supports compliant installation in varied environments, from mechanical rooms to moderate outdoor locations, while providing built-in motor overload protection and safe bypass capabilities.
E-Clipse bypass allows rapid bypass operations during maintenance without powering down the entire system, reducing downtime and service windows. This harnesses ongoing energy savings, lowers maintenance costs, and improves uptime for critical HVAC processes, delivering a faster return on investment for building operators and industrial facilities.
