Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000225801 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
The ACH580 integrates an E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter, enabling quick isolation during maintenance. This design minimizes unplanned downtime and reduces restart time, improving system availability for HVAC packs in commercial buildings. The electronic motor overload protection helps prevent motor faults from cascading into broader outages, lowering maintenance costs and extending motor life. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables local commissioning and rapid parametric tuning, while provisions for external control connections and serial communications streamline integration with building management systems. Enclosure options include UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R, delivering safer installations and easier compliance in diverse environments. The drive supports a wide HP range from 1 to 350 hp and operates at 230/460/575 V, enabling scalable solutions across small to large HVAC applications. Overall, users gain improved energy efficiency, reduced installation time, and lower total cost of ownership through simplified wiring, safer disconnection, and dependable protection.
