ABB ACH580 Motor Drive - E-Clipse Bypass, UL Type 1
Part Number: 3AUA0000226994
Quick Summary
ACH580 motor drive delivers reliable motor control for HVAC, conveyors, and processing lines. Engineers often struggle with wiring complexity, panel clutter, and unsafe disconnects that slow commissioning. This ABB solution is UL-listed and offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, with electronic motor overload protection for dependable safety. By integrating a bypass motor starter with the E-Clipse bypass, it minimizes control-panel depth while improving serviceability. The door-mounted control panel with a graphical display supports local operation and easy configuration, while external control connections and serial communications expand integration with plant networks.

FAQs
For installation, plan for a compact footprint by leveraging the integrated bypass to minimize panel depth. Ensure the UL Type 1 enclosure is appropriate for the operating environment, verify that the door interlock and padlockable OFF feature are accessible, and synchronize the drive with existing control wiring. Use the door-mounted graphical panel for local commissioning and enable serial communications for remote monitoring. Verify ventilation and clearance to accommodate the enclosure's size and ensure proper heat dissipation during full-load operation.
ACH580 supports 1 to 350 horsepower at 230/460/575 V, offering a flexible control platform for diverse loads. It includes electronic motor overload protection, a bypass starter, and a door-mounted graphical display for local control. Control options include external control connections and serial communications for industrial networks, enabling both local and remote control scenarios across HVAC, conveyors, and pumps.
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for robust motor control in conveyors and HVAC equipment, providing a compact enclosure, integrated bypass, and reliable overload protection. Its bypass starter simplifies maintenance and reduces panel wiring, while the door-mounted display supports quick setup. Serial communications allow integration with plant-wide automation systems, improving monitoring and control of conveyor belts, fans, and air-handling units.
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is UL-listed and offered in UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations, aligning with common industrial safety and enclosure standards. This combination supports compliance for a wide range of indoor environments. In addition, electronic overload protection and a door-interlocked bypass contribute to safe operation and routine lockout-tagout practices in regulated facilities.
By integrating a bypass starter with the E-Clipse bypass, ACH580 reduces panel space, simplifies wiring, and shortens commissioning time, lowering installation labor costs. Electronic overload protection minimizes motor damage and downtime, while the door-mounted display accelerates troubleshooting and maintenance checks. Remote monitoring via serial communications enables predictive maintenance and improved asset utilization, driving a favorable return on investment over the drive’s lifecycle.
