The unit carries UL Type 1 enclosure rating and integrates a bypass starter, with electronic motor overload protection for reliable HVAC operation. Designed for 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, it supports energy-efficient, scalable motor control; ideal for HVAC applications and system integrators. Facilities benefit from simplified maintenance planning, quicker diagnostics, and improved uptime. Economies accrue through reduced panel space, easier serviceability, and better alignment with modern building management systems.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226969 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 → Business Impact → Application: The integrated ABB E-Clipse bypass eliminates the need for a separate bypass starter, reducing wiring volume and panel footprint, which translates to faster installation and lower panel costs in retrofit and new-build projects for air handling and rooftop units. This compact arrangement is particularly valuable where space is at a premium and installation schedules are tight. Application: Ideal for packaged HVAC equipment requiring compact, reliable control with streamlined wiring. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Type 1 enclosure rating and a door-mounted control panel enable safe local operation and rapid diagnostics, reducing commissioning time and simplifying routine servicing in commercial rooftops and mid-size HVAC installations. Application: Building automation-ready drives in centralized systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses provides robust electrical protection and code-compliant disconnect points, supporting safer maintenance and quicker fault isolation in busy plant environments. Application: Retrofit and new-build HVAC panels. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection safeguards motors from thermal stress and unexpected trips, reducing wear and replacement costs. Application: High-demand fans and pumps in air handling and DX systems. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability and external control connections enable easy integration with BAS/BMS for monitoring, scheduling, and remote control, improving energy management and fault visibility. Application: Smart buildings and energy-efficient HVAC installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: 1–350 hp at 230/460/575 V provides broad compatibility with mid-sized to large units, allowing a single drive family to cover multiple equipment tiers, lowering spare-part inventories and simplifying procurement. Application: New installations and modernized HVAC fleets.
