ABB 3AUD0000000003 HVAC Packaged Drive - E-Clipse
Part Number: 3AUD0000000003
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUD0000000003 HVAC Packaged Drive with E-Clipse bypass delivers integrated bypass and motor control for commercial HVAC systems. Facilities often wrestle with complex wiring, limited enclosure options, and slow diagnostics that drive downtime. UL-listed protection with NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures helps meet safety codes, while built-in bypass and electronic overload protection streamline maintenance. With a door-mounted graphical display and serial communications, installation is faster, troubleshooting is easier, and integration with building management systems is straightforward, delivering lower total cost of ownership. This makes it ideal for retrofit projects and new HVAC installations in commercial buildings. By combining flexibility, protection, and modern connectivity, the ABB drive supports scalable, future-proof HVAC automation strategies.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000003 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 Integrated E-Clipse bypass with bypass starter → Business Impact reduces maintenance downtime and simplifies servicing, especially during cabinet changes or motor swaps, improving system availability. Application Suitable for large fans and pumps in commercial HVAC where quick bypass is valuable for uptime. While the bypass path is active, ongoing operations minimize energy waste and downtime. Feature UL/NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options with bypass integration → Business Impact enhances installation safety and code compliance while preserving compact footprint. Application Ideal for mechanical rooms with space constraints and varying environmental conditions, enabling safer, compliant installation in new builds or retrofits. Feature Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with door-mounted interlock → Business Impact improves safety and maintenance access, reducing panel door opening time and ensuring off-state safety during service. Application Critical for code compliance in retrofit projects and new installations in regulated facilities. Feature Electronic motor overload protection → Business Impact protects drivetrain and motor windings, reducing nuisance trips and extending motor life. Application Particularly beneficial for variable torque HVAC loads like fans and pumps, where protection and reliability matter. Feature Door-mounted control panel with graphical display → Business Impact speeds commissioning, improves local diagnostics, and simplifies operator interaction. Application Useful for on-site testing, troubleshooting, and quick tuning during start-up and seasonal adjustments. Feature Serial communications capability → Business Impact enables seamless integration with BAS/SCADA, enabling remote monitoring and energy analytics. Application Facilitates building-wide HVAC orchestration and proactive maintenance planning.

FAQs
Plan for UL-listed enclosure compatibility (NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R) and ensure adequate clearance for the door-mounted control panel and bypass assembly. The system should accommodate the 230/460/575 V supply and the bypass path, with proper labeling and interlocks. Use external control connections and plan for serial communications to integrate with your BAS or SCADA network.
The drive supports 1–350 HP at 230/460/575 V, with an integrated E-Clipse bypass and bypass starter. It provides electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted graphical display, and options for a circuit breaker or input disconnect. These features enable safe maintenance, rapid commissioning, and reliable operation in HVAC applications such as fans and pumps.
Yes. The ACH580-based platform includes serial communications capabilities designed for integration into BAS/BMS networks. This allows remote monitoring, performance analytics, and coordinated control with other HVAC equipment. Confirm your network protocol support and ensure proper device addressing in your I/O schema for a smooth integration.
The drive is UL-listed and supports UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, which helps meet safety and installation codes in varied environments. A bypass starter and integrated protection features further enhance compliant operation. Always verify local electrical codes and enclosure requirements for your specific installation site.
By delivering reliable motor control with an integrated bypass, the drive reduces unplanned downtime and simplifies service, lowering maintenance costs. Energy-efficient variable speed operation lowers running costs for fans and pumps, while electronic overload protection extends motor life. The combination of safer installation and easier integration also shortens project timelines and improves operational uptime.
