ABB 3AUA0000227501 ACH580 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1/12
Part Number: 3AUA0000227501
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive is a compact variable frequency drive that precisely controls motor speed in packaged HVAC systems. Engineers often struggle with safely integrating bypass and isolation during maintenance, which can cause delays and safety risks; this model addresses that with an integrated E-Clipse bypass, a bypass starter, and a door-mounted control panel for safer, faster commissioning. It combines UL/NEMA enclosure options Type 1, 12 or 3R with electronic motor overload protection to enhance reliability in variable environments. With 230/460/575 V variants and a 1–350 hp range, it also supports external control connections and serial communications, aligning with energy-management goals and procurement cycles.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227501 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, both including fast acting drive fuses, 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.
Feature: E-Clipse bypass is integrated into the ACH580, providing a safe bypass path for motor start-up and maintenance without disconnecting the drive supply. Business impact: minimizes downtime and simplifies safe fault isolation for technicians. Application: ideal for packaged HVAC systems such as rooftop units and air handling plants that require dependable bypass with minimal wiring complexity. Industry note: bypass reliability is a common spec for energy-efficient HVAC retrofits. Feature: An input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses and a door-interlocked switch ensures safe isolation. Business impact: strengthens compliance with electrical codes and reduces risk during servicing. Application: essential where local service disconnects must be clearly protected before maintenance on fans and pumps. Additional note: padlockable in OFF position enhances on-site safety and accountability. Feature: UL/NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure options and a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display simplify installation and local control. Business impact: cuts wiring complexity, speeds commissioning, and enables safer, door-based troubleshooting. Application: suitable for harsh environments or space-constrained plant rooms common in commercial and industrial HVAC installations. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection guards against overcurrent and stall conditions. Business impact: extends motor life, reduces energy waste, and lowers maintenance costs from unexpected trips. Application: beneficial for high-inertia HVAC motors driving variable-speed fans and pumps in variable-frequency operations. Feature: Serial communications capability and external control connections enable integration with building management systems and remote monitoring. Business impact: delivers proactive diagnostics, energy management, and centralized control for larger facilities. Application: supports retrofit projects and new builds pursuing digitalization of HVAC controls and IoT readiness. Feature: Broad 1–350 hp range and 230/460/575 V availability provide a flexible, scalable solution for diverse equipment. Business impact: reduces spare-part diversity and procurement effort while supporting mixed fleets. Application: adaptable to condensate pumps, cooling towers, air handlers, and fan arrays across facilities.
