This model is UL-listed with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, offering a robust safety profile and door-mounted control panel for fast setup and local control; note that the provided data does not specify SIL or CE ratings. In practice, you gain reliable motor control, improved diagnostics, and straightforward integration with building management systems, supporting efficient operations and lower total cost of ownership for industrial HVAC applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225648 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
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass is housed in a UL Type 1 enclosure and includes a bypass motor starter, enabling a single-drive solution that minimizes external wiring and simplifies maintenance in HVAC rooms. This translates to reduced downtime and faster service, especially in retrofit projects or space-constrained environments. Application: Central HVAC systems and packaged equipment where reliable bypass operation is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive offers an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and a door-mounted interlocked switch, enhancing safety during service and compliance with lockout/tagout procedures. This protects personnel and equipment, improving overall site safety. Application: Maintenance windows and high-risk service scenarios. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection and a bypass starter deliver motor protection and smoother start/stop sequences, reducing wear on motor windings and mechanical components, which lowers maintenance costs over the lifecycle. Application: Commercial and industrial air handling units. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display plus provisions for external control connections and serial communications enable rapid commissioning, remote monitoring, and BMS integration, shortening project timelines and improving fault diagnostics. Application: New installs and retrofit programs. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The device supports 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V, offering flexible sizing for varied HVAC loads and enabling scalable installations without multiple drive types. This reduces stocking complexity and substitution risk. Application: Mixed-use facilities and variable-load HVAC installations.
