Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227462 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 → Business Impact → Application: E-Clipse bypass integration provides a safe bypass path with a built-in bypass motor starter, reducing external wiring and enabling quick bypass transitions. This translates to shorter maintenance windows and safer service in rooftop units and large HVAC fans, where downtime directly hits comfort and energy use. Application-wise, it suits retrofit projects and new installations requiring reliable bypass operation without compromising control fidelity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: UL Type 1/NEMA Type 1 enclosure supports indoor installation in standard mechanical rooms, with door interlocks and padlockable OFF for enhanced safety. The clear compliance and simple wiring reduce installation time and regulatory risk for facility managers and contractors. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Broad voltage and horsepower range (1–75 hp; 230/460/575 V) offers one drive for multiple equipment classes, enabling scalable deployments and reducing spare-part diversity while maintaining energy-efficient performance. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Built-in electronic motor overload protection and fast-acting fuses minimize downtime due to faults, lowering maintenance costs and extending motor life. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Local control panel with graphical display plus external control connections and serial communications simplify commissioning, diagnostics, and integration with building management systems for centralized automation. This supports ROI through reduced wiring errors, faster commissioning, and easier remote monitoring.
