FAQs
The ABB ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is a packaged HVAC drive that includes an integrated bypass starter and a door-mounted graphical control panel. It provides motor control for HVAC equipment with seamless transition between normal operation and bypass, reducing maintenance time and improving system availability.
Installation should follow the enclosure option that matches your environment. UL Type 1 covers indoor general use, Type 12 adds dust and liquid ingress protection, and Type 3R is suitable for outdoor or harsh environments. Ensure the disconnect or circuit breaker is door-mounted and interlocked, and wire the external control connections per the user manual to enable local and remote control.
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for 230/460/575 V three-phase supply and covers a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp. This makes it suitable for a wide array of HVAC fans, pumps, and blower applications, providing scalable power for commercial and light industrial systems.
The drive offers electronic motor overload protection and UL-listed protection with enclosure options. While not all certifications are listed in the data, the unit is designed for safe operation in UL-listed enclosures (NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R), supporting compliance with common industrial safety and installation standards for HVAC equipment.
Expected benefits include reduced downtime due to the integrated bypass, fewer field wiring complexities, and improved motor protection that lowers repair costs. The local control panel accelerates commissioning, while serial communications enable remote monitoring, contributing to lower total cost of ownership and faster project payback in commercial HVAC installations.
