Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227464 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
E-Clipse bypass integration provides a bypass motor starter built into the drive, enabling maintenance without interrupting the load. This reduces downtime and maintenance costs by allowing a controlled bypass of the drive during service. It is ideal for HVAC fans and pumps where uptime is critical and safety interlocks keep the door in the OFF position during service. The unit includes an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses, enhancing electrical safety and ensuring quick isolation for service or fault conditions. This configuration minimizes risk during maintenance and simplifies compliance with on-site safety protocols for mechanical rooms. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables rapid local troubleshooting and configuration, while external control connections and serial communications simplify integration with building management and automation systems. The result is faster commissioning, reduced commissioning cost, and easier remote diagnostics. The 230/460/575 V voltage range supports 1 to 75 hp, enabling a single platform for multiple HVAC applications while preserving efficiency gains across a fleet. The combination of motor overload protection and smart protection strategies reduces motor wear, extending motor life and lowering total cost of ownership. The ABB ACH580-VCR-10A6-2 is a proven fit for mid-size HVAC fans, pumps, and air handling equipment in commercial and industrial facilities, with installation flexibility and long-term operational stability.

FAQs
Installation is simplified by the door-mounted graphical control panel and the option for external control connections. The unit supports UL Type 1 indoor installation and can be wired to existing 230/460/575 V supply rails. Verify proper clearance for the E-Clipse bypass and ensure the input disconnect or circuit breaker is correctly sized for the load. Use the serial communications port for integration with a building management system to streamline commissioning and commissioning testing.
The drive operates at 230/460/575 V with a 1 to 75 hp range and a 3 HP, 10.6 A reference at 230 V. It includes a built-in E-Clipse bypass, an input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses, electronic motor overload protection, and a door-mounted control panel. Safety features also encompass interlockable bypass access and protected local control for maintenance and fault handling.
Yes. The ACH580-VCR-10A6-2 is designed for HVAC applications, including fans and pumps, where precise speed control, energy efficiency, and reliable protection are critical. Its scalable horsepower range, multiple voltage options, and integrated bypass support reduce downtime and simplify commissioning in commercial environments. The built-in protections help minimize motor wear and extend service intervals.
Key certifications include UL-listed protection with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which simplifies indoor installation in mechanical rooms. The enclosure and safety features support standard regulatory compliance during installation and maintenance. While other regional certifications may apply depending on location, the UL and NEMA Type 1 designation provide a solid baseline for safe integration into HVAC control panels.
Expected ROI comes from energy efficiency gains through precise motor control, reduced startup surge, and reduced downtime via the integrated E-Clipse bypass. Preventive maintenance is simplified by the door-mounted display and onboard motor overload protection, which helps extend motor life and lower maintenance costs. Serial communications enable proactive monitoring and remote diagnostics, further reducing on-site service visits.
