Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226973 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 ACH580 integrates ABB E-Clipse bypass, reducing downtime and wiring labor by combining bypass starting, drive, and protection in one enclosure, which accelerates retrofits and new installs for HVAC systems. This translates to lower commissioning costs and faster time-to-value in rooftop units and air-handling applications. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A choice of 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V enables scalable control for variable loads, ensuring energy-efficient performance across small to large fan and pump applications while preserving equipment compatibility. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit includes an input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses, improving safety during maintenance and meeting panel-assembly standards for compliant installations in industrial facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Door-mounted graphical control panel supports local start/stop, parameter tuning, and fault diagnostics, speeding service calls and reducing mean-time-to-repair in commissioning and operations teams. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection provides motor protection and early fault detection, reducing motor burnout risk and extending drive life in demanding HVAC duty cycles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability and external control connections enable seamless integration with building-management systems, energy-optimization platforms, and centralized monitoring, supporting predictive maintenance and centralized control strategies.

FAQs
The ACH580 supports 230/460/575 V input and is designed for HVAC loads such as fans and pumps. It ships with a bypass option and a circuit-breaker/disconnect, housed in UL-listed enclosures (Type 1, 12 or 3R). Ensure panel space accommodates the bypass starter and that wiring follows OEM and local codes for safe, compliant installation.
Yes. The ACH580 offers external control connections and serial communications capability, enabling integration with building management systems, energy-optimization platforms, and remote supervision. This supports centralized control, data collection, and fault reporting for HVAC-driven facilities.
The drive includes integrated electronic motor overload protection, a door-mounted control panel with graphical display, and a fast-acting drive fuse set with a padlockable OFF interlock on the disconnect. These features minimize motor damage, support safe maintenance practices, and align with standard electrical-safety practices in industrial HVAC environments.
ABB specifies UL-listed protection with ENclosure options including UL Type 1, Type 12, and Type 3R (NEMA variants). This combination supports safe operation in varied indoor HVAC installations and allows compliance with common electrical-safety requirements across facilities.
Expect energy-efficiency gains from precise speed control, reduced downtime due to integrated bypass and diagnostics, and lower commissioning costs from a single-package solution. The drive’s scalability from 1 to 350 hp and compatibility with 230/460/575 V loads supports multi-site deployments and predictable lifecycle costs in building-automation implementations.
