Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225659 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
The ACH580 leverages ABB E-Clipse bypass with an integrated bypass motor starter, which reduces maintenance downtime and enables a quick bypass change without removing the drive. This translates into safer, faster restoration of HVAC fans and pumps, boosting equipment uptime and lowering service costs. In practice, this is ideal for air handling units and rooftop HVAC gear that require routine bypass testing or staged startup sequences. The unit is UL-listed with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure and a door-mounted interlock switch, providing a strong safety barrier and a padlockable OFF position. This supports compliance with indoor installation standards while enabling safe, hands-off maintenance in busy facilities. It's particularly well-suited for offices, data centers and light manufacturing where safety protocols are strict and access is frequent. The ACH580 covers a flexible power range of 1–75 hp and accepts 230/460/575 V, reducing spare parts and simplifying procurement across multi-site installations. This flexibility benefits OEMs, installers, and building operators by streamlining inventory and deployment. Local control is enhanced by a graphical display on the door-mounted panel, and serial communications enable seamless integration with building management systems for centralized control and monitoring. These features translate to faster commissioning, easier fault diagnosis, and improved operational visibility. Protection is built in with electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting drive fuses, lowering motor burnout risk and shielding drive electronics from surges and faults. Combined, these protections minimize unscheduled downtime and extend motor life in critical HVAC applications such as fans and pumps. The E-Clipse bypass arrangement and integrated bypass starter further simplify maintenance routines, reduce component counts, and deliver a tangible return on investment through lower maintenance spend and quicker serviceability. In summary, the ACH580 is a future-ready solution for HVAC projects seeking reliability, safety, and energy-efficient operation.

FAQs
Plan the installation in a clean indoor location, mount the drive in a UL-listed NEMA Type 1 enclosure, and use the door interlock to enable padlockable OFF. Connect the 230/460/575 V power supply to the drive, wire the motor leads, and set up the bypass starter. Attach control and field connections, enable local panel operation, and verify serial communications with the BMS for full integration.
The drive covers 1 to 75 hp with selectable voltages of 230, 460, or 575 V. It includes an integrated E-Clipse bypass with a bypass starter, fast-acting drive fuses, and electronic motor overload protection. Control is via a door-mounted graphical panel, with serial communications for system-wide integration.
Yes. The ACH580-VDR-052A-4 is designed for HVAC applications such as fans and pumps in air handling units, rooftops, and zoning systems. Its bypass option supports maintenance without interrupting service, while its modular protection and control features help maintain indoor air quality and comfort with energy-efficient operation.
The ACH580 is UL-listed and configured with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, aligning with indoor safety and compliance standards. These certifications matter for safe installation in commercial environments and for meeting project specifications; note that CE or IP ratings are not specified in the provided data.
The E-Clipse bypass allows a rapid, safe bypass of the drive without removing it from service, minimizing downtime during maintenance and testing. This reduces service costs, shortens commissioning time, and enhances system availability for critical HVAC equipment like large fans and pumps, delivering a favorable return on investment over the equipment’s life cycle.
