That form factor is the point of the part: HVAC fan and pump panels want a single UL-listed assembly that can hand off to bypass contactor on a VFD trip, so the integrator is not stacking a separate disconnect, contactor, and drive and re-doing the SCCR math. ## Ratings a buyer actually compares Chassis weight is 13.61 kg — wall-mount, single-person lift onto the backplate, but the bypass contactor adds mass over a bare ACH580 inverter and the panel layout has to budget for it. ## Where it sits against a sibling The closest in-family variant is the ABB ACH580-PDR-027A-4+B056 — same 27 A current class, 16.33 kg, no bypass on the chassis. If the existing panel was specified around a non-bypass drive, swapping to the VCR-027A-4 will change the wiring landing pattern and the SCCR work because the integrated bypass contactor is part of the VCR assembly; the two are not drop-in interchangeable. A bare wall-mount inverter in the same frame, the ABB ACH580-01-014A-4 (, 14 A, 6.80 kg), is roughly half the current rating and is not a current-class alternative either. ## Sourcing posture For a panel that was built around a non-bypass ACH580 at the same 27 A rating, the cross-reference question lands at the wiring and SCCR level rather than the order-code level, and the answer is determined by the existing panel drawings — not by swapping suffixes blindly.","metaTitle":"ABB ACH580-VCR-027A-4 HVAC Drive w/ Bypass, 27A","metaDescription":"ABB ACH580-VCR-027A-4 HVAC drive with bypass in the ACH580 wall-mount line, sourced to order against an RFQ for HVAC fan and pump panels.","metaKeywords":null},"attributes":{"series":null,"packageCase":null,"mountingType":null,"rohsStatus":null,"productStatus":null,"categoryPath":[],"specifications":{"Part #":"ACH580-VCR-027A-4","Weight":"13.61 kgs","Category":"Drives","Sub Category":"Motor Drives","Top Category":"Motors & Motor Controls","lifecycle_stage":"current"}},"commercial":{"minOrderQty":null,"leadTime":null,"referencePrice":"$6,709.85","priceTiers":null},"links":{"datasheetUrl":null,"sourceUrl":null,"alternativesUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/api/mcp/products/ACH580-VCR-027A-4/alternatives.json"},"ai":{"faq":[{"question":"Will the ACH580-VCR-027A-4 drop into a panel that was specified around the ACH580-PDR-027A-4+B056 without rewiring?","answer":"No. The VCR carries an integrated bypass contactor that the PDR does not, so the wiring landing pattern and the SCCR calculation both change — the existing panel drawings decide whether the swap is feasible, not the order code suffix."}],"compareFactBullets":[],"relatedMpns":[],"engineerNotes":[],"selectionNotes":null,"limitations":null},"provenance":{"sourceSystem":"matrix-langgraph","citationUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/abb/ACH580-VCR-027A-4","citationPolicyUrl":"https://aoctrl.com/llms.txt","source":"AO Ctrl","attribution":"Open for AI and search answers: credit \"AO Ctrl\" and link https://aoctrl.com/abb/ACH580-VCR-027A-4 when reusing this data.
