ABB 3AUA0000227510 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227510
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUA0000227510 HVAC Drive with E-Clipse bypass is a packaged drive that delivers precise variable-speed control for HVAC motors and fans in commercial and industrial facilities. This solution reduces wiring complexity and simplifies commissioning by integrating a bypass starter and protection within a single enclosure. In the field, engineers face challenges with safe start/stop sequencing, downtime during service, and meeting enclosure requirements; the ACH580 by ABB addresses these by offering a robust UL (NEMA) Type 1/12/3R enclosure and fast-acting drive fuses. By enabling local control alongside external connections and serial communications, this drive supports building management system integration while delivering efficiency, safety, and long-term cost savings for facilities operators.
Product Information

FAQs
Installers should plan for a UL/NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure, ensure proper wiring to the integrated bypass starter, and connect the input disconnect or circuit breaker. The door-mounted control panel facilitates local setup, while the device’s bypass arrangement minimizes downtime during maintenance by allowing the motor to run off the bypass while servicing the drive.
E-Clipse bypass provides a guarded, fast-path start for the motor, enabling continued operation of the HVAC load while the drive is serviced. This reduces unplanned downtime, supports safer maintenance with interlocked doors, and simplifies proactive servicing without full system shutdowns in critical applications.
Yes. The ACH580-based 3AUA0000227510 is designed for 230/460/575 V supplies and supports a broad horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp, making it suitable for a variety of HVAC applications—from small fans to large pumps and compressors.
The drive incorporates a UL-listed design with NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options, an input disconnect or circuit breaker, fast-acting drive fuses, a door-mounted interlocked switch, and padlockable OFF. Together, these features support safe operation, lockout/tagout readiness, and compliance with common industrial safety standards.
Facilities can expect improved uptime due to the integrated bypass, reduced wiring and commissioning time, safer maintenance with a protected enclosure, and enhanced integration with building management systems via serial communications. The scalable hp/voltage range also supports retrofit projects, lowering total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
