ABB ACH580-BCR-169A-2 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227514
Quick Summary
ACH580 HVAC drive with E-Clipse bypass provides precise motor control for packaged HVAC systems. For engineers facing downtime and complex wiring, the integrated bypass and door-mounted panel simplify commissioning and service. It’s UL-listed with versatile enclosure options (Type 1, 12 or 3R) and includes electronic motor overload protection. By combining a broad voltage range with built-in control connections and serial communications, it supports scalable, compliant HVAC automation and lower total cost of ownership. Facility operators benefit from improved diagnostics, faster fault isolation, and predictable performance during seasonal demand swings. Engineers also gain easier integration with existing control architectures due to serial communications and compatible I/O schemes.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227514 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: Integrated E-Clipse bypass combines bypass functionality with the starter into a single, compact assembly. This reduces downtime during service and minimizes wiring changes, since the bypass can be engaged without powering down the entire drive. Application: ideal for rooftop units and air handlers where continuous operation is essential. Feature: UL/NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure options provide rugged protection and straightforward field installation with a padlockable OFF option. Business impact: fewer field failures and safer servicing in varied environments. Application: commercial and industrial HVAC deployments across locations with different enclosure requirements. Feature: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and door-mounted interlocked switch. Business impact: enhances electrical safety and enables compliant lockout/tagout during maintenance. Application: facilities needing robust disconnection and quick fault isolation. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display, external control connections, and serial communications. Business impact: accelerates local control setup, enables remote monitoring, and supports building automation integration. Application: centralized control rooms and OEM installations demanding visibility and interoperability. Feature: Broad 1–350 hp range at 230/460/575 V. Business impact: design flexibility across HVAC projects, reducing spare parts and training while easing retrofits. Application: large commercial complexes and industrial HVAC plants seeking scalable drive control.
