ABB 3AUA0000227503 ACH580 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227504
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive provides compact, energy-efficient motor control for commercial and light industrial HVAC systems. Replacing separate starters and fuses with an integrated drive reduces wiring complexity, installation time, and field fault points. UL-listed and compatible with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures offer robust protection and code-compliant operation. Built-in bypass, fast-acting drive fuses, door-mounted controls, and electronic motor overload protection enable safer, field-serviceable operation. Local control via a graphical display and external connection options plus serial communications support easier commissioning and remote monitoring. This combination drives reliable performance and helps reduce lifecycle costs in HVAC applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227504 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 with integrated bypass starter reduces panel space and wiring complexity. Business impact: shorter installation times, fewer field wiring errors, and safer bypass operation in energized cabinets. Application: ideal for rooftop units and packaged HVAC systems where space is at a premium and downtime is costly. Feature: UL-listed enclosure with NEMA Type 1/12/3R protection. Business impact: robust protection and easier compliance audits, especially in mechanical rooms and protected outdoor spaces. Application: suitable for harsh environments and building automation installations. Feature: Input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and interlocked switch. Business impact: enhanced safety, faster fault isolation, and reduced maintenance downtime. Application: critical HVAC control panels and distributed motor starter configurations.

FAQs
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass supports 230/460/575 V three-phase inputs and provides an integrated bypass starter, reducing panel complexity. Ensure enclosure selection corresponds to UL/NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R requirements, and verify door interlock and padlockable OFF features are enabled for safe startup and servicing.
The drive is rated from 1 to 350 horsepower and operates at 230/460/575 V. This range allows use across multiple HVAC applications—from small air handlers to larger rooftop units—without multiple drive SKUs, simplifying procurement and spares.
Yes. The ACH580 includes serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections, enabling integration with BACnet/Modbus or other BMS platforms. This supports remote monitoring, analytics, and centralized energy management for ongoing optimization.
The drive provides electronic motor overload protection, fast-acting drive fuses, and an interlocked, door-mounted control panel with a bypass option. These features reduce motor damage risk, improve fault diagnosis, and enable safe maintenance without exposing personnel to live equipment.
The integrated bypass reduces wiring, saves panel space, and lowers installation time, contributing to a shorter time-to-commission. Ongoing benefits include easier diagnostics via the local display, remote monitoring through serial communications, and improved reliability leading to lower downtime and total cost of ownership.
