ABB ACH580 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227005
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive is a versatile variable-speed controller for HVAC fan and pump systems. Maintenance downtime and wiring complexity hinder uptime during peak seasons. It ships with UL-listed protection inside a NEMA Type 1 enclosure and supports Type 12 or 3R configurations, with electronic motor overload protection. The integrated bypass, remote control options, and serial communications simplify installation and long-term operations. Designed for rugged environments, it reduces field wiring and commissioning time. This combination of protection and flexibility translates to lower total cost of ownership for HVAC projects.
