ABB ACH580-VDR-077A-6 HVAC Drive - UL Type 1 Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000233137
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-VDR-077A-6 HVAC drive provides precise motor speed control for commercial HVAC systems. Engineers often contend with wiring complexity, limited space, and safety risks during startup and maintenance. The unit is UL-listed and built around a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, featuring ABB E-Clipse bypass and a door-mounted control panel for local operation, which supports fast commissioning. By combining drive and bypass in one enclosure, it reduces wiring, footprint, and downtime. The result is improved energy efficiency and easier integration into building management systems, delivering lower operating costs and reliable, scalable HVAC control.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000233137 ABB: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 75 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
Integrated E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter enables seamless transfer between drive control and bypass during maintenance, reducing operational downtime and simplifying service planning. This reduces outage time in cooling loops and extends motor life by avoiding abrupt transitions. It is particularly beneficial in rooftop units and air handling systems where uptime is critical. The drive offers an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses and an interlocked, padlockable OFF position, boosting safety and compliance with lockout/tagout procedures while enabling quick isolation during service. A door-mounted graphical control panel supports local tuning and quick commissioning, speeding startup and reducing on-site errors. Serial communications capability and external control connections facilitate seamless integration with BAS and building management systems for centralized control. With a wide 1–75 hp range at 230/460/575 V and electronic motor overload protection, it delivers versatile motor control for diverse HVAC applications. Compatibility with 230/460/575 V, 1–3 phase configurations, and integrated safety features minimizes retrofits and simplifies maintenance planning for engineers and technicians.

FAQs
The ACH580-VDR-077A-6 supports 1–75 horsepower motors at 230/460/575 V, suitable for a wide range of commercial and industrial HVAC applications. It is designed for three-phase operation and can be integrated with standard HVAC motors, enabling precise speed control and energy efficiency in cooling systems.
The drive includes electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses, plus an input disconnect or circuit breaker option with a door-mounted, interlocked switch that is padlockable in OFF position. These features support regulatory compliance, safe maintenance, and protection against motor faults or faults in the drive.
The integrated E-Clipse bypass provides a bypass motor starter, allowing seamless transitions between drive control and bypass without stopping the motor. This reduces downtime during maintenance, simplifies service planning, and keeps critical HVAC loops operational, which is especially valuable in rooftop units and air handling systems.
Yes. The drive offers serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections, enabling straightforward integration with building management systems (BMS) and BAS networks. This supports centralized monitoring, fault diagnostics, and coordinated energy management across multiple HVAC devices.
When installing the ACH580-VDR-077A-6, place it indoors in a protected environment per NEMA Type 1 guidelines, connect the 230/460/575 V supply to the appropriate terminals, and utilize the door-mounted control panel for local setup. Ensure the disconnect or circuit breaker is wired per NEC requirements, and use the interlocked, padlockable OFF feature for safe servicing.
