ABB 3AUA0000227542 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227542
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive is an efficient motor controller for HVAC systems, enabling precise fan and pump speed modulation. Project teams often face long commissioning times due to wiring complexity and the need to coordinate bypass and disconnect devices. This solution offers UL-listed protection with a NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure and CE conformity, plus electronic overload protection for motor safety. With an integrated ABB E-Clipse bypass, a bypass starter, and a door-mounted control panel, installation and service are faster, safer, and easier to supervise. Designed for 230/460/575 V operation and compatible with serial communications, it supports energy-management initiatives and predictable maintenance cycles.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227542 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
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 integrates an E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter and an interlocked, door-mounted disconnect, reducing field wiring and simplifying maintenance crews’ tasks, which shortens commissioning and service windows for HVAC equipment. This translates to lower labor costs and faster project ramp-up in commercial buildings and industrial facilities where downtime matters. Application: HVAC fans and pumps, rooftop units, and large air-handling systems benefit from quicker start-up and safer bypass operations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL-listed protection with NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure and a padlockable OFF switch improves safety and regulatory compliance, easing installation in mechanical rooms and service corridors. Application: New installs and retrofits in confined spaces require robust protection and easy access. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection guards motors from thermal damage and nuisance tripping, reducing unplanned outages and extending equipment life. Application: High-use fans and condensate pumps in variable-speed duty cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Local control panel with graphical display enables rapid diagnostics and local adjustments without a PC, cuttings downtime during commissioning and maintenance. Application: On-site tune-ups and service calls. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability supports integration with building management systems (BMS) and remote monitoring, enabling real-time energy analytics and centralized control. Application: Energy management programs and BAS integration. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The 1 to 350 hp range and 230/460/575 V options provide broad compatibility with existing HVAC equipment, reducing the need for redesigns or replacements. Application: Retrofit projects and new builds across commercial and industrial facilities.
