ABB ACH580 3AUA0000227535 Motors & Drives - EClipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227535
Quick Summary
ACH580 HVAC drive with E-Clipse bypass delivers compact motor control for packaged HVAC systems. It simplifies motor start-up and maintenance by integrating a bypass starter with a door-mounted control panel for local operation. Users often battle field wiring complexity and downtime during servicing; this solution reduces both with an interlocked input disconnect and a robust bypass path. UL-listed configurations with NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosures and electronic motor overload protection help you meet safety and compliance across installation sites. For system integrators and OEMs, the combination of 1–350 HP at 230/460/575 V, serial communications, and external control options delivers scalable performance and faster commissioning, driving reliability and energy efficiency across HVAC applications.
