Quick Summary
ABB ACH580-VDR-059A-2 HVAC drive optimizes motor speed for HVAC applications, delivering precise control for fans and pumps. Many engineers wrestle with downtime, wiring complexity, and limited visibility into protection settings when integrating drives and bypasses, especially during maintenance windows. The unit features UL-listed, NEMA Type 1 enclosure and an ABB E-Clipse bypass, simplifying indoor installation, cabinet space planning, and service. By combining integrated bypass, fast-acting drive fuses, and electronic overload protection, it supports compliant, safe commissioning and reduced maintenance cycles across multiple shifts. With 230/460/575 V options and a 1 to 75 hp range, it adapts across facilities, delivering energy savings, lower total cost of ownership, and predictable performance.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227489 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: ABB E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter delivers a safe, seamless bypass path during motor service, minimizing exposure and downtime across critical HVAC loops. Business impact: This arrangement reduces maintenance time and unplanned outages by allowing rapid drive swaps without a full system shutdown or reconfiguration, supporting uptime in mission-critical environments. Application: It’s especially valuable for HVAC fans, pumps, rooftop units, and air-handling systems where continuous operation is mission-critical and service access is frequent. Feature: Integrated UL Type 1 enclosure (NEMA) with door-mounted control panel makes indoor installation straightforward and repeatable. Business impact: It shortens installation cycles, lowers cabinet footprint, and supports consistent compliance with safety or electrical codes across facilities, including diverse sites. Application: Ideal for mechanical rooms and control panels in commercial buildings and industrial HVAC plants. Feature: Optional input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses provides robust electrical protection for both new builds and retrofit projects. Business impact: enhances safety, meets code requirements, and limits fault propagation to downstream equipment, reducing risk and downtime. Application: Retrofit or new-build HVAC projects needing clear isolation, quick fault isolation, and reliable protection across multiple asset types. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection is integrated to monitor current and thermal conditions continuously, with configurable trip thresholds. Business impact: improves motor longevity, reduces nuisance trips, and lowers maintenance costs over the equipment lifespan across shifts. Application: Critical for large fans and pumps subject to variable torque and changing load conditions in variable-air-volume systems. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display, plus provisions for external control connections and serial communications, enabling rapid setup. Business impact: accelerates commissioning, enables remote diagnostics, and simplifies integration with building management systems and modern BAS platforms. Application: Performs well in BAS-connected facilities and remote monitoring environments where data visibility matters for preventive maintenance. Feature: Broad electrical and duty range—1 to 75 hp and 230/460/575 V operation, covering most HVAC drives. Business impact: delivers procurement versatility and reduces spare-part inventories, improving project flexibility and time-to-value across several asset families. Application: Suitable for diverse HVAC assets, from compact air handlers to larger roof-top units and ventilated processes.

FAQs
To verify compatibility, confirm motor horsepower rating falls within 1 to 75 hp and that the motor is rated for 230/460/575 V service. Match the drive’s input voltage and wiring to the bypass starter, isolation switch, and protective fuses. Check serial communications capability for BAS integration and ensure connector pinouts align with external control devices.
Key specs include 230/460/575 V operation, 1–75 hp capability, and electronic motor overload protection with fast-acting drive fuses. The unit offers an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker option and a bypass starter within a UL Type 1 enclosure. Serial communications and external control connections enable seamless integration with building control networks.
Applications include large ventilation fans, air handling units, roof-top units, and chilled-water pump sets in commercial and industrial facilities. The E-Clipse bypass provides a safe maintenance bypass path, reducing downtime during service. The integrated bypass starter simplifies wiring, shortens installation time, and supports reliable operation where high availability is required.
The drive is UL-listed with a NEMA Type 1 indoor enclosure, suitable for indoor control panels in mechanical rooms. The bypass starter, interlocked door, and padlockable OFF position support safe, code-compliant operation. Fast-acting fuses and electronic overload protection further align with typical electrical safety standards in commercial HVAC installations.
Expect improved uptime from reduced maintenance downtime, lower energy use due to precise motor control, and extended motor life from overload protection. The integrated protection simplifies spare parts planning, while external control options and BAS compatibility reduce commissioning time and accelerate time-to-value, delivering a favorable return on investment over the system lifecycle.
