The approach aligns with facilities’ energy-efficiency initiatives and regulatory readiness for modern HVAC control. It also supports remote monitoring, improving asset reliability.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227486 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 with a bypass motor starter and an integrated UL Type 1 enclosure. Business Impact: streamlines installation by consolidating bypass wiring and reducing field connections, which lowers project risk and startup times. Application: ideal for HVAC fan motors and air-handling units where compact, serviceable drive solutions minimize downtime and retrofit challenges. Real-world benefit: fewer door interlocks and integrated protection translate to faster commissioning and safer operation in busy mechanical rooms. Feature: Input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses, door-mounted interlocked switch (padlockable in OFF). Business Impact: enhances safety during maintenance, supports lockout/tagout procedures, and reduces accidental energization. Application: service corridors and rooftop units where technicians require guaranteed de-energization before work, and owners demand regulatory compliance. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection and a door-mounted control panel with graphical display for local control. Business Impact: protects motor windings, lowers nuisance trips, and provides intuitive local diagnostics to speed up troubleshooting. Application: field tuning and daily checks on HVAC drives, enabling rapid adjustments without a separate handheld programmer. Feature: Broad voltage and horsepower range from 1 to 75 hp and 230/460/575 V compatibility. Business Impact: consolidates procurement and spare parts, reduces stock keeping units, and supports a single drive family across multiple HVAC apps. Application: retrofit projects and new installations spanning rooftop units, air handlers, and remotely located fans where space and wiring complexity matter. Feature: Serial communications capability and provisions for external control connections. Business Impact: enables seamless integration with building management systems and remote monitoring for predictive maintenance, increasing asset uptime. Application: centralized control of fans, pumps, and auxiliary equipment in commercial buildings, hospitals, and data centers.
