Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227520 ABB: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V. The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass provides an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker 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
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass provides a built-in bypass motor starter that enables seamless transfer between run and bypass modes, reducing downtime during maintenance and allowing quick reconfiguration of systems such as conveyors and pumps. This translates to faster commissioning, lower labor costs, and improved overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) in production lines. The device includes electronic motor overload protection, delivering motor protection and reduced fuse or breaker wear, which lowers energy waste and minimizes unexpected outages in demanding environments. An input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with a door-mounted, interlocked switch (padlockable in OFF) enhances safety, supports a robust lockout/tagout program, and simplifies compliance with industrial safety standards. A door-mounted control panel with a graphical display enables local control and system visibility, while provisions for external control connections and serial communications enable scalable, remote monitoring, trending, and integration with factory automation systems. The ACH580 supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, offering a scalable solution for a wide range of motors, from small fans to mid-size pumps and conveyors, reducing the need for multiple drive types and simplifying spare parts management. Installers benefit from a compact footprint and straightforward wiring, which shortens time-to-value in retrofit projects and new installations alike. The E-Clipse bypass design also mitigates common objections about bypass reliability by delivering a proven bypass path without extensive rewiring, ensuring consistent performance in both normal operation and bypass modes. Compatibility with ABB’s control strategy and serial interfaces supports modern automation architectures, enabling remote diagnostics and proactive maintenance programs that improve uptime and asset longevity. Overall, the ACH580 3AUA0000227520 delivers reliable motor control, enhanced protection, and operational efficiency for automation engineers and maintenance teams.
