ABB ACH580 3AUA0000225794 - UL/NEMA Enclosed Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000225794
Quick Summary
ABB ACH580 is a drive with an integrated bypass starter that protects and controls motors in industrial automation applications. This integration reduces setup errors and downtime by eliminating multiple components. Designed for harsh environments, it features UL-listed NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures and integrated electronic overload protection. For engineers and procurement teams, it streamlines compliance and maintenance while enabling serial communications, external control connections, and a local control panel for rapid commissioning. This supports scalable automation projects, reduces training time for operators, and helps meet uptime targets across facilities. Its plug-and-play installation and clear diagnostics shorten commissioning cycles for new lines.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225794 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 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: Integrated bypass motor starter consolidates control, protection, and bypass functions into a single assembly, reducing wiring complexity and field assembly time while improving fault isolation. This translates to faster commissioning and lower field labor costs on new lines or plant expansions where space is at a premium. Application: packaging lines, material handling, and machine tools benefit from quicker startup and safer maintenance routines. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection provides accurate trip curves and protection against motor damage, minimizing unscheduled downtime and extending motor life under variable loads. Application: pumps and fans in HVAC or process industries gain improved reliability with predictable performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Door-mounted graphical control panel enables local operation with intuitive diagnostics, reducing operator training time and enabling rapid troubleshooting. Application: retrofit projects and retrofit-heavy facilities where minimal panel modification is desired. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with interlocked, padlockable OFF ensures secure lockout/tagout, addressing safety standards and compliance requirements across maintenance activities. Application: automotive, food & beverage, and chemical processing environments where safety and compliance drive uptime. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability and external control connections streamline integration with PLCs, SCADA, and remote monitoring systems, delivering actionable data and centralized control for energy management and predictive maintenance.

FAQs
ABB ACH580 offers a compact, integrated bypass starter inside UL-listed NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures. It includes an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with an interlocked door-mounted switch that is padlockable in the OFF position, enabling safe lockout and straightforward retrofits into existing motor control centers or new panels with minimal wiring. This reduces field install time and simplifies commissioning.
The ACH580 combines a bypass starter with electronic motor overload protection, providing precise protection against overload and thermal damage while enabling smooth motor start/stop. This improves motor life, reduces nuisance trips, and supports consistent performance in applications with varying loads, such as conveyors and fans, ultimately lowering maintenance and replacement costs.
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for motors between 1 and 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, making it suitable for conveyors, pumps, fans, and machine tools. Its integrated bypass and local control panel simplify installation on compact machines or retrofit projects, while serial communications enable integration with PLCs and SCADA for coordinated automation.
The ACH580 is provided with UL-listed protection in NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures, addressing common safety and environmental requirements in industrial facilities. While CE and other certifications may apply depending on regional deployments, the key differentiator is the UL/NEMA enclosure compatibility that supports safe operation in a range of plant environments.
By consolidating a disconnect, bypass starter, and motor overload protection into a single unit, ACH580 reduces wiring complexity and panel space, cutting installation time and labor costs. The local graphical panel speeds commissioning, while serial communications enable predictive maintenance and remote monitoring, delivering lower downtime, fewer spare parts, and a measurable return on investment over time.
