UL listing with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure options ensures safe operation in commercial equipment rooms and harsh environments. This architecture supports remote control, electronic motor overload protection, and easy integration with ABB E‑Clipse bypass, delivering energy savings and faster commissioning. For engineers, the compact enclosure and documented control features simplify installation, testing, and ongoing maintenance. Businesses benefit from predictable performance, reduced wiring errors, and better uptime metrics across HVAC equipment fleets.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225781 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.
Integrated E-Clipse bypass with bypass motor starter and door‑interlocked switch enhances safety and reduces wiring complexity, letting technicians bypass the drive without rewiring. This directly shortens installation time and lowers commissioning costs, especially in large HVAC fleets where uptime matters. The ability to select between a circuit breaker or disconnect, plus fast‑acting drive fuses, improves protection and simplifies compliance with safety standards while enabling rapid fault isolation. Electronic motor overload protection guards motors against short or sustained overloads, reducing unplanned downtime and extending equipment life. A door‑mounted graphical control panel supports local commissioning and troubleshooting, accelerating startup sequences and on‑site diagnostics. Serial communications capability and external control connections enable seamless integration with building management systems for predictive maintenance and remote monitoring. The UL/NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options provide adaptable installation in equipment rooms and outdoor-rated environments with verified protection characteristics. Compatibility with 230/460/575 V service and a broad HP range (1–350 hp) ensures this drive fits many HVAC duty cycles, from fans to pumps and compressors, while maintaining efficiency and safety across diverse installations.

FAQs
The ACH580-BCR-034A-4 supports 1–350 hp motors at 230/460/575 V and is offered in UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations. It can be configured with either an input disconnect switch or a circuit breaker and includes fast-acting drive fuses. The enclosure and wiring are designed for straightforward field installation with interlocked safety features.
The ABB E‑Clipse bypass provides a controlled bypass path that allows direct motor connection during bypassed operation, reducing drive losses and enabling simpler maintenance. This improves overall system efficiency during bypass conditions, shortens commissioning times, and minimizes downtime during service while maintaining protection and diagnostics through the drive's control panel.
Yes. The ACH580-BCR-034A-4 is designed for HVAC duty, supporting fans, pumps, and compressors in commercial applications. With 1–350 hp capacity and 230/460/575 V compatibility, it provides precise speed control, built‑in motor overload protection, and an integrated bypass path suitable for energy management and demand‑driven HVAC strategies in office complexes, hospitals, and data centers.
The drive is UL listed and available in NEMA Type 1, Type 12, and Type 3R enclosure configurations, ensuring compliance with safety and environmental requirements for indoor and outdoor installations. The integrated safety features, fast-acting fuses, and protected control interfaces support regulatory compliance during commissioning and ongoing operation.
Maintenance benefits include electronic motor overload protection, door‑mounted control for quick access, and a robust bypass path that reduces downtime during service. ROI is driven by energy savings from precise speed control, faster commissioning due to integrated features, and lower installation costs from a compact, all‑in‑one solution that simplifies wiring and reduces spare parts inventory.
