Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000226985 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 → ABB E-Clipse bypass with an integrated bypass starter provides a compact, single-source bypass solution. This arrangement reduces wiring, minimizes fault points, and speeds commissioning by consolidating critical starting and protection functions in one enclosure. Business impact: Lower installation labor, shorter test cycles, and improved overall reliability translate to less downtime in occupied buildings and easier maintenance planning. Application: Ideal for packaged HVAC units and rooftop systems where space is at a premium and service access is a constraint. Feature → UL-listed NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure options are integrated with the drive, offering built-in protection in diverse environments. This built-in protection supports safe operation in standard rooms and outdoor-adjacent equipment without requiring additional enclosures. Business impact: Streamlined procurement, fewer parts, and consistent protection levels save design time and field assembly costs. Application: Suitable for commercial HVAC cabinets, industrial air handling units, and outdoor equipment where environmental exposure varies. Feature → Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with door interlock keeps the drive interlocked and padlockable in the OFF position. This enhances maintenance safety and aligns with lockout/tagout procedures. Business impact: Safer servicing, faster fault isolation, and reduced risk of accidental energization during maintenance. Application: Serviceable drives in plant rooms, roof elevations, and HVAC distribution panels. Feature → Electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted graphical control panel enable rapid diagnostics and motor protection without external accessories. This simplifies commissioning and ongoing monitoring. Business impact: Lower risk of motor damage, fewer unplanned outages, and improved fault visibility. Application: Local control stations, service desks, and technician walk-up checks in mid-size HVAC installations. Feature → Serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections support integration with building management systems and industrial networks. This enables remote monitoring and coordinated control. Business impact: Optimized energy use, centralized alarms, and streamlined change management. Application: Modern smart buildings, energy retrofit projects, and HVAC systems requiring Industry 4.0 compatibility.
