ABB 3AUA0000227522 ACH580 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227522
Quick Summary
ACH580 HVAC drive enables efficient motor control for packaged HVAC systems in commercial facilities. Operators and integrators struggle with downtime caused by motor overloads, wiring complexity, and limited local control during startup. The unit ships UL-listed with a choice of NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures, includes an integrated bypass starter, and provides electronic motor overload protection. With a door-mounted graphical control panel, external control connections, and serial communications, it supports fast commissioning, safer operation, and scalable HVAC automation. This combination helps maintenance teams reduce total cost of ownership while meeting energy, safety, and regulatory standards across commercial and light-industrial applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227522 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.

FAQs
Consider supply compatibility with 230/460/575 V and horsepower range up to 350 hp. Verify UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure suitability, plan for the door-mounted control panel, and ensure the input disconnect or circuit breaker is interlocked with a padlockable OFF. Confirm external control connections and available serial communications for BAS integration. This minimizes retrofit risk and accelerates commissioning.
Key specs include 1–350 hp capacity and 230/460/575 V operation, along with electronic motor overload protection and an integrated bypass starter. These features reduce motor stress, optimize drive efficiency, and enable smoother start/stop sequences for fans and pumps, improving energy efficiency and reducing wear on HVAC components during peak loads.
Packaged HVAC systems, air handling units, rooftop units, and driven fans or pumps benefit most. The bypass capability allows service without interrupting the main power, while local control and remote communications support scalable automation. The broad horsepower and voltage range also simplify retrofits and new installations across commercial and light-industrial environments.
This drive is UL-listed with enclosure options conforming to NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R. The integrated bypass starter, interlocked disconnect, and padlockable OFF support safe maintenance practices and compliance with industry safety programs, making it easier to satisfy facility, electrical, and fire-code requirements during installation and servicing.
The ACH580 reduces downtime with protective features and simplified wiring, lowering maintenance costs. Remote monitoring and BAS integration enable proactive alarms and trending, while the single-drive solution minimizes spare-part inventories. Over the product life, customers typically see lower total cost of ownership through improved reliability and faster serviceability.
