ABB 3AUA0000227528 ACH580 Drive - UL/NEMA Enclosure with E-Clipse Bypass
Part Number: 3AUA0000227528
Quick Summary
The ABB ACH580 drive delivers precise motor speed control for industrial equipment. It eases downtime and wiring complexity by integrating a bypass starter with protective features and a door-mounted graphical display for local control. UL-listed construction supports versatile enclosures and practical compatibility with UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R configurations, aligning with safety and regulatory expectations. The ACH580 also provides external control connections and serial communications for scalable automation, delivering efficiency gains and lower maintenance costs in demanding manufacturing environments. With a 1 to 350 hp range at 230/460/575 V, it fits pumps, fans, and conveyors while simplifying procurement and service.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227528 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
Integrated E-Clipse bypass and bypass motor starter streamline installation and reduce wiring and component count, cutting panel space needs and improving serviceability in new or retrofit drives. In practice, this means fewer field panels to assemble and faster commissioning on conveyors, pumps, and fans. UL-listed enclosure options provide rugged protection for varying environments, from clean rooms to moderately harsh plants. The ability to select Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosures aligns the ACH580 with site requirements, easing compliance and reducing enclosure modification costs. An integrated input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with a door-mounted interlocked switch and padlockable OFF enhances safety and lockout-tagout compliance, enabling safe maintenance without separate devices. Built-in electronic motor overload protection guards motor windings against overload, minimizing nuisance trips and extending motor life. The door-mounted control panel provides local visualization and parameter adjustment, allowing technicians to monitor status, fault codes, and functions at a glance. Provisions for external control connections and serial communications support integration into modern automation architectures, enabling remote monitoring, diagnostics, and scalable control across multiple drives. Operating from 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, the ACH580 accommodates a broad range of motor sizes and supply conditions, reducing the need for multiple drives and simplifying spare-part inventories.

FAQs
Begin by selecting a compatible UL Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure and ensure the door interlock is engaged. Install the ACH580 with the E-Clipse bypass, connect the bypass starter, wire the input disconnect or circuit breaker, and attach the door-mounted control panel. Use the built-in safe-off (padlockable OFF) feature to secure maintenance periods. Finally, configure external control connections and serial communications for integration with your PLC or SCADA system.
The drive supports a motor range of 1 to 350 horsepower at 230/460/575 volts. It includes an integrated bypass starter, electronic motor overload protection, and provides external control connections plus serial communications for networked automation. The enclosure options align with UL and NEMA configurations to suit varied installation environments.
Yes. The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is designed for motor control of pumps, fans, and conveyors. Its integrated bypass, local control panel, and external connection capabilities simplify installation and allow easy integration into existing control architectures, reducing commissioning time and enabling reliable operation in demanding processes.
Key safety features include an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with a door-mounted interlocked switch (padlockable in OFF), and electronic motor overload protection. These elements support safe startup, reliable protection during operation, and compliant lockout-tagout procedures during maintenance.
By combining drive, bypass, and protection in a single unit with a door-mounted control panel and serial communications, maintenance tasks are simplified, downtime is reduced, and diagnostics are accessible remotely. The wide HP and voltage range lowers spare-part diversity, streamlines procurement, and improves overall equipment effectiveness (OEE).
