ABB ACH580-VCR-041A-6 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 Enclosure with E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000233130
Quick Summary
ACH580-VCR-041A-6 HVAC drive optimizes HVAC fan and pump control in commercial buildings. Engineers often struggle to coordinate a safe isolation switch, bypass operation, and motor protection within a single panel. This unit features a UL Type 1 enclosure and an integrated E-Clipse bypass, delivering reliable protection and simplified wiring. With support for 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V and a door-mounted graphical control panel, it helps meet demanding HVAC control and building automation requirements. By combining a bypass starter, fast-acting drive fuses, and external control connections, it enables faster commissioning, easier maintenance, and consistent performance across varying loads.
