ABB 3AUA0000227539 ACH580 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227539
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive provides efficient variable-speed control for packaged HVAC systems in commercial and industrial facilities. Engineers often struggle with integrating a safe bypass, space constraints, and reliable shutdown during maintenance. Designed with UL-listed NEMA enclosures, Type 1/12/3R options, and electronic motor overload protection, it helps meet safety and reliability requirements. The door-mounted graphical control panel and built-in serial communications support scalable installations, reducing downtime and total cost of ownership in modern buildings and process plants. This combination enables faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and seamless integration with conventional building management systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227539 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 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
The E-Clipse bypass integration with the bypass motor starter streamlines commissioning and minimizes start-stop wear for HVAC systems. By combining the drive and bypass in a single, accessible module, maintenance windows shrink and service personnel can troubleshoot without pulling equipment from service racks. This configuration is especially valuable in packaged HVAC units, rooftop units, and air handling systems where fast bypass access and reliable startup are critical. UL-listed enclosure options Type 1, Type 12, and Type 3R enable installation flexibility across equipment rooms, outdoors, and demanding environments. This compatibility reduces time-to-production by eliminating the need for multiple SKUs and simplifies compliance documentation for audits. The accompanying NEMA-style protection supports rugged operation in industrial facilities where dust and moisture exposure can challenge equipment longevity. Safety-first design includes an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with a door-mounted interlock that is padlockable in the OFF position. This enables proper lockout/tagout during maintenance and prevents inadvertent energization, protecting personnel and equipment. The result is safer servicing, faster repairs, and improved regulatory alignment in regulated environments. Door-mounted graphical control panel provides local visibility and quick configuration, reducing commissioning time and user error. Built-in serial communications enable seamless integration with BAS/BMS and remote monitoring, allowing operators to tune performance and respond to alarms without onsite visits. This interoperability supports centralized control, data-driven maintenance, and consistent HVAC performance across facilities. Electronic motor overload protection guards critical HVAC motors, lowering trip frequency and extending motor life. The hp range of 1 to 350 and the 230/460/575 V options support scalable sizing for diverse projects, from small AHUs to large rooftop packages. In practice, customers experience measurable efficiency gains, reduced energy costs, and lower maintenance overhead. Overall, the ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass offers a compact, retrofit-friendly solution balancing performance, safety, and total cost of ownership for HVAC applications across industries.
