FAQs
The ACH580 is designed for HVAC packaged applications, offering 1 to 350 hp and 230/460/575 V capability, plus a bypass starter with ABB E-Clipse bypass. It includes a door-mounted control panel and a selectable UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure, plus an input disconnect or circuit breaker. This combination reduces wiring and speeds panel assembly while meeting common safety standards.
Key electrical specs include 1–350 hp in a 230/460/575 V three-phase configuration, integrated electronic motor overload protection, a bypass starter, and a graphical local control panel with serial communications. The drive is designed for HVAC fans and pumps, enabling soft-start, torque control, and reliable operation in dynamic load conditions.
Yes. The ACH580 incorporates a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure and an integrated bypass starter. It features a door-mounted interlocked switch (padlockable in OFF) and the E-Clipse bypass, which facilitates safe maintenance while keeping the motor running during servicing of the drive itself.
E-Clipse bypass lets the motor continue operating when the drive is isolated for maintenance or troubleshooting, reducing downtime and simplifying service workflows. Coupled with an integrated bypass starter and protective interlocks, it minimizes risk and speeds fault isolation for HVAC equipment across facilities.
The ACH580 delivers a favorable ROI through energy-efficient speed control, reduced inrush, and extended motor life via electronic overload protection. Its integrated bypass, compact enclosure, and local display reduce wiring and commissioning time, while serial communications enable proactive monitoring and fault analytics for lower maintenance costs over the life of the system.
