Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226916 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
Feature: E-Clipse bypass integrated with UL Type 1 enclosure. Business Impact: Simplifies maintenance and reduces downtime by allowing service without full system shutdown. Application: HVAC fans and pumps where rapid service is critical in plant and building environments. The ABB approach minimizes total cost of ownership by enabling safer, faster bypass of the drive during maintenance or fault isolation. Feature: Optional input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses. Business Impact: Improves electrical safety and compliance while protecting the drive and motor from faults. Application: Energy-intensive HVAC loops in commercial complexes where quick isolation is required for safety audits and routine service. Feature: Bypass starter with door interlock and padlockable OFF. Business Impact: Enhances operator safety and prevents accidental re-energizing during maintenance. Application: Restricted access mechanical rooms and utility spaces where lockout-tagout practices are essential. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection. Business Impact: Extends motor life and reduces unplanned outages by detecting overload conditions early. Application: Variable torque loads in fans and pumps that demand precise protection settings. Feature: Door-mounted graphical control panel and external control connections. Business Impact: Accelerates commissioning, simplifies troubleshooting, and improves on-site operability. Application: Field service and facility management teams performing tune-ups or routine adjustments. Feature: Serial communications capability. Business Impact: Enables seamless integration with building management systems and industrial networks for centralized control and monitoring. Application: Smart HVAC installations requiring data exchange with BAS, SCADA, or automation controllers.
