Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225660 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, 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: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass combines a bypass motor starter and an integrated UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure, delivering a compact, ready-to-wire drive with simplified field wiring and reduced enclosure footprint. Business Impact: This consolidation reduces panel footprint, shortens wiring runs, lowers install time, and minimizes installation errors, improving overall project ROI and on-site safety. Application: Works well in unitary HVAC equipment, air handlers, and packaged rooftop systems where space constraints and reliable bypass operation are critical. Feature: Built-in input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses and a door-mounted interlocked switch (padlockable in the OFF position) provides immediate electrical isolation when needed. Business Impact: Enhances safety during maintenance, supports code compliance, and minimizes fault exposure, reducing risk for technicians and downtime. Application: Suitable for serviceable HVAC drives in commercial and light industrial facilities, with straightforward replacement paths. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local control, quick diagnostics, and intuitive commissioning, reducing the need for external programming tools. Business Impact: Accelerates startup, reduces training time, and improves operator confidence, leading to faster changeovers and fewer human errors. Application: Ideal for field service, equipment rooms, and on-site troubleshooting in retrofit or new-build projects. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection helps prevent motor damage and nuisance trips by continuously monitoring current and thermal conditions. Business Impact: Extends motor life, lowers maintenance costs, and improves system availability, especially in variable torque HVAC loads. Application: Applies to variable torque HVAC fans and pumps with diverse load profiles. Feature: Serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections enable remote monitoring and seamless integration with building management systems and industrial networks. Business Impact: Supports SCADA, DCS, and energy-management initiatives, delivering better visibility, predictive maintenance, and centralized control. Application: Suitable for OEMs and facilities deploying BMS, SCADA, and automation networks. Feature: Broad hp and voltage range—1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V—provides scalable HVAC drive solutions suitable for a wide array of equipment. Business Impact: Reduces SKU proliferation, enables retrofit projects, and accelerates lifecycle planning, lowering total ownership costs. Application: Retrofit and new installations across commercial, institutional, and light industrial facilities, from rooftop AHUs to pumps and fans.

FAQs
Plan for space inside the equipment enclosure, ensure UL Type 1/12/3R compatibility, and account for the door-mounted control panel and bypass starter. Verify the available control connections and serial communications capability, and confirm whether an input disconnect or circuit breaker is used. Proper wiring of external controls and fuses minimizes commissioning time and improves safety.
The E-Clipse bypass lets the motor run directly from the supply when the drive is not needed, while keeping protective features intact. It reduces downtime during maintenance, simplifies mechanical alignment, and enables safe bypass testing. This configuration preserves electronic overload protection and drive fusing, ensuring continuous protection and smoother field service for HVAC fans and pumps.
Yes. The ACH580-BCR-07A6-4 is designed for HVAC applications including rooftop units and variable air volume systems. It covers 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, includes a bypass starter, and provides local and remote control options. Its compact enclosure and integrated safety features make it a good fit for tight mechanical rooms and retrofit projects.
The drive is UL-listed and offered with integrated UL Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures, providing safe operation in indoor, dusty, and outdoor protected areas. It includes fast-acting fuses, a door-mounted control panel, and interlocked switch options. This flexibility helps with compliance and simplifies installation across commercial and light industrial facilities.
