ABB ACH580 3AUA0000232817 HVAC Drive - E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000232817
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 HVAC drive delivers reliable variable-speed control for HVAC equipment. Many users struggle with bypass reliability and workspace constraints when integrating chilled-water or air handling fans. UL listed protection plus CE compliance and rugged NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosures with a bypass starter. By combining 1 to 350 hp ratings at 230/460/575 V with electronic overload, the ACH580 reduces downtime and energy costs. Local control is streamlined by a door-mounted graphical panel and self-contained wiring, with external control connections and serial communications for system-wide integration. This combination supports energy efficiency initiatives, reduces total cost of ownership, and accelerates HVAC retrofits in both commercial and industrial environments.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000232817 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.
Ach580's E-Clipse bypass integration simplifies startup and reduces downtime by bypassing the motor during maintenance, minimizing production interruptions. Business impact: easier service, safer lockout/tagout, and faster recoveries in HVAC fan and pump trains, even in crowded equipment cabinets. Application: ideal for packaged HVAC drives in commercial buildings and industrial facilities, from rooftop units to data-center air handling. Enclosure and protection: UL-listed protection pairs with 1/12/3R NEMA configurations to guard components in harsh environments, while allowing quick access when needed. Business impact: integrated input disconnect or circuit breaker plus fast-acting drive fuses simplify installation, safeguarding personnel and equipment during commissioning and routine maintenance. Application: suited for on-site service in HVAC stand-alone cabinets or in-wall installations, with room for future upgrades. Control and connectivity: a door-mounted graphical panel provides quick commissioning and fault isolation, reducing on-site programming time. Business impact: external control connections and serial communications enable seamless integration with building management systems, PLCs, and remote monitoring. Application: ideal for retrofit projects or new HVAC installations requiring robust control and easy diagnostics. Electrical protection: electronic motor overload protection guards motors against fault conditions, reducing wear and extending motor life, even under fluctuating loads. Business impact: improved uptime and predictable maintenance cycles translate to lower service costs and fewer unplanned outages. Application: suitable for continuous HVAC applications where load varies and motor protection is critical. Compatibility and installation: rated 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, the ACH580 aligns with common HVAC motor specs and cabinet footprints. Business impact: easing procurement and installation reduces project lead times and leverages existing safety documentation and spare parts. Application: ideal for new installations in commercial buildings and industrial plants where compliance and reliability matter. Operational efficiency and safety: the integrated design reduces busbar connections and wiring runs, cutting installation labor and potential faults. Industry context: ABB ACH580 drives are widely used in HVAC retrofits and new builds for energy optimization, comfort, and compliance. Application domains: commercial real estate, data centers, manufacturing facilities, and process industries rely on robust, controllable HVAC drives.

FAQs
Consider cabinet space for UL Type 1/12/3R enclosures, ensure proper wiring to the input disconnect or circuit breaker, and follow the included wiring diagrams. Use 460 V supply with a 361 A rating as a baseline, and plan for the door-mounted control panel placement for easy access.
The ACH580 covers 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and draws up to 361 A at 460 V. It includes an integrated E-Clipse bypass, UL-listed protection, electronic motor overload protection, and serial communications capability for system integration.
Yes. The 1–350 hp range and 460 V configuration support variable-speed control for fans and pumps in air handlers and rooftop units, with a bypass for maintenance and a robust enclosure for in-duct or cabinet installations.
It features UL-listed protection, CE compliance, and rugged NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure configurations with a bypass starter, offering global applicability and reliable protection in harsh environments.
The integration of E-Clipse bypass reduces downtime during maintenance, while electronic overload protection lowers motor wear. Combined with streamlined installation and remote monitoring capability, this drive supports energy savings, lower service costs, and faster project delivery.
