ABB 3AUD0000000005 ACH580 Drive - UL Type 1 E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUD0000000005
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 drive is a packaged HVAC controller with an integrated e-Clipse bypass that simplifies climate-system control. This solution helps engineers reduce panel count, save space, and streamline field wiring by combining drive, bypass, and disconnect in a single enclosure. UL-listed with NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure options, it supports 230/460/575 V operation and 1 to 350 hp ratings. The design aligns with UL certification and enclosure standards to streamline compliance and installation. For procurement and maintenance teams, this means faster commissioning, reduced parts inventory, and more predictable service intervals.
