ABB 3AUD0000002296 HVAC Packaged Drive - UL
Part Number: 3AUD0000002296
Quick Summary
ABB 3AUD0000002296 HVAC packaged drive enables reliable variable-speed control for commercial and industrial HVAC systems. This solution addresses the common challenge of coordinating bypass and disconnect devices, which often adds wiring complexity and downtime during maintenance. The ACH580 is UL-listed with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, integrating a bypass starter and door-mounted control panel for local or remote operation, along with electronic motor overload protection. Designed for 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, it simplifies procurement and installation, reducing spare-part variety and speeding commissioning in building automation projects. By consolidating drive, bypass, and disconnect functionality into a single unit, it supports energy-efficient operation and easier service planning, delivering measurable business value.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000002296 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
Integrates ABB E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter, delivering a compact, all-in-one drive solution for HVAC equipment. The business impact is lower installation cost and reduced wiring complexity, which translates into faster commissioning and fewer field wiring errors. In real-world applications, technicians deploy a single unit to control, bypass, and protect motors in air handling and cooling loops. The drive includes an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with an interlocked, padlockable door, enabling safe maintenance and regulatory compliance. This isolation capability minimizes downtime during service and supports lockout–tagout procedures. Ideal for rooftop units, packaged air conditioners, and variable-air-volume fans where safe service access is a priority. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display provides local control and quick diagnostics, while external control connections and serial communications enable integration with building management systems. The net effect is faster fault isolation, proactive maintenance, and data-driven energy management across commercial and light-industrial HVAC installations. A 1–350 hp range at 230/460/575 V supports a wide spectrum of fans, pumps, and compressors, enabling a single, scalable solution across multiple chillers and air handlers. This SKU consolidation reduces procurement complexity and spare parts stocking while ensuring consistent performance. The drive’s electronic overload protection helps meet motor protection standards and extends drive life in tough plant environments. Built for reliability, the ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass offers OEM-grade protection, easy field maintenance, and robust safety features such as interlocked disconnect and tamper-resistant door. The result is lower lifecycle cost, predictable energy use, and faster uptime in critical HVAC applications for mission-critical facilities like data centers and healthcare buildings.

FAQs
Plan for a UL-listed enclosure with a NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R rating and a door-mounted control panel. Ensure space for the inline bypass starter, access to the input disconnect or circuit breaker with a padlockable OFF position, and availability of external control connections and serial communications for integration with a building management system.
Yes. The E-Clipse bypass integrates with a bypass motor starter, and the unit provides an interlocked door with a padlockable OFF, plus an input disconnect or circuit breaker. Electronic motor overload protection is included, supporting safe, compliant maintenance without sacrificing performance.
Absolutely. It covers 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, designed for HVAC fans, pumps, compressors, and air-handling equipment. Its integrated bypass and protection features simplify control, improve reliability, and reduce commissioning time in commercial and light-industrial HVAC environments.
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations. This combination supports regulatory compliance, safety standards, and field installation in US-based HVAC projects.
Consolidating drive, bypass, and disconnect into a single unit reduces wiring, parts, and maintenance steps, lowering downtime and spare parts inventory. Remote diagnostics via serial communications enable proactive maintenance and energy-management insights, delivering faster uptime and improved total cost of ownership for HVAC systems.
