Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227481 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: E-Clipse bypass is integrated into the ACH580. Benefit: Simplifies installation, reduces cabinet space, and enables safe bypass operation without removing the drive. Application: HVAC fan and pump sequences where roll-in bypass is needed for maintenance or fault isolation. Feature: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses. Benefit: Enhances on-site safety and protects both motor and drive during start-ups and fault conditions. Application: Industrial and commercial HVAC retrofits where compliant safety interlocks are required. Feature: Bypass starter with electronic motor overload protection. Benefit: Shortens maintenance windows and extends motor life by preventing overloads during bypass operation. Application: Critical air-handling unit applications in data centers and manufacturing facilities. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display. Benefit: Local control and quick commissioning reduce commissioning time and wiring complexity. Application: Field service and maintenance environments where on-site visibility is essential. Feature: Serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections. Benefit: Seamless integration with building management systems (BMS) and automation workflows, enabling remote monitoring and control. Application: Modern commercial buildings and process environments that demand centralized control. Feature: Wide voltage and horsepower range (230/460/575 V; 1–75 hp). Benefit: Flexible deployment across sites and legacy motors, lowering total cost of ownership through a single drive platform. Application: Retrofitting of legacy HVAC motors in multi-site operations.

FAQs
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is designed for indoor HVAC installations in a UL-listed, NEMA Type 1 enclosure. It integrates a bypass starter and drive in a single package, includes a door-mounted control panel for local operation, and supports an input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses. Ensure proper cabinet clearance, adequate cooling, and compliance with local electrical codes during mounting and wiring.
Key ratings include 1–75 hp operation across 230/460/575 V, with current characteristics exemplified by 4.6 A for a 1 hp at 230 V. Control features include a door-mounted graphical display, serial communications capability, external control connections, and electronic motor overload protection. The drive also provides a bypass starter for safe maintenance and robust protection during operation.
Yes. The ACH580 is purpose-built for HVAC applications but its 1–75 hp range, 230/460/575 V operation, and integration options make it suitable for a wide range of commercial building HVAC and light industrial process applications. Its bypass capability and remote control options support building automation initiatives and retrofit projects with minimal disruption.
The ACH580 uses a UL-listed configuration and is housed in a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, which supports indoor safety and compliance for commercial and industrial environments. While CE readiness and regional regulatory requirements should be verified for your location, the device is designed to align with common safety standards for HVAC motor drives.
The ACH580 reduces downtime with its integrated bypass and protective features, lowering maintenance time and risk. Its electronic overload protection and optional external control integration improve motor protection, leading to longer motor life and fewer faults. The drive’s compact enclosure and local control panel also reduce installation costs and accelerate commissioning, delivering measurable energy and uptime advantages.
