The solution offers UL-listed protection, a NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure, and an integrated E-Clipse bypass for streamlined maintenance. By combining a compact drive with a bypass starter, it helps reduce panel space, simplify commissioning, and improve energy efficiency across commercial and industrial HVAC applications.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227533 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 combines a bypass motor starter with the drive, reducing separate wiring and aligning with tight install footprints. This translates to lower maintenance costs and shorter downtime during service or filter changes. It’s particularly valuable in HVAC packaged units where bypass speed and reliability directly affect building comfort and energy use. An input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with a padlockable OFF position provides a clear safety boundary for service work and aligns with lockout/tagout procedures. This configuration improves safety compliance, minimizes accidental energization, and simplifies panel interlocks in shared electrical rooms. For installers, this reduces installation time and error risk. The door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local parameter setup, fault diagnostics, and real-time monitoring without opening the enclosure. This reduces door openings, enhances security, and accelerates commissioning. In field configurations, technicians can adjust motor protection levels and start/stop logic directly at the device. With a scalable 1 to 350 horsepower range and operation at 230/460/575 V, the ACH580-BCR-04A6-2+B058 accommodates a wide spectrum of HVAC loads—from small fans to large pumps. This reduces the need for multiple SKUs and streamlines procurement. The flexibility also supports phased upgrades as building loads change. Electronic motor overload protection continuously monitors current and temperature, protecting motors from overheating and electrical faults. This leads to longer motor life, fewer unwarranted trips, and easier regulatory compliance for performance standards. The drive’s protective features work in concert with the bypass to maintain system integrity during faults. Serial communications capability enables integration with building management systems and plant PLCs, facilitating remote monitoring and streamlined control. This improves overall energy management, fault visibility, and operator training. For installers and integrators, this means faster commissioning and a smoother path to Industry 4.0 interoperability. Compatibility with existing HVAC controls, compact enclosure options, and door-mounted interfaces simplify installation in crowded electrical rooms. The integrated bypass and built-in protections reduce panel space requirements while maintaining compliance with safety standards. Overall, this ABB ACH580 solution supports quicker project delivery and lower total cost of ownership.

FAQs
Installation starts with selecting the appropriate enclosure type (UL Type 1/12/3R) and mounting the ACH580 within the designated panel. The E-Clipse bypass is integrated, reducing external wiring. You’ll need the corresponding disconnect solution and any external control cabling, plus a door-mounted control panel for local operation. Ensure correct 230/460/575 V wiring and verify motor protection settings align with the 1–350 hp range. Field commissioning should include wiring checks, protective relay configuration, and a quick start test to validate bypass operation and safety interlocks. This approach minimizes startup time and ensures reliable performance from day one.
Key specifications include 1–350 hp, operating at 230/460/575 V, and an integrated electronic motor overload protection. The E-Clipse bypass allows a safe, efficient bypass path during maintenance, reducing downtime. The unit supports serial communications for integration with building management systems. For motor control, these features translate to precise start/stop sequencing, improved overload protection, and the ability to tailor protection parameters to specific fan or pump duty cycles, delivering safer starts and energy-efficient operation.
Yes. The 1–350 hp range and 230/460/575 V options cover a broad spectrum of commercial HVAC loads, including fans and pumps. The integrated bypass, electronic overload protection, and local/remote control capabilities help meet building performance targets for energy efficiency, reduced peak demand, and steady operation under varying thermal loads. The enclosure options and safety features further support compliant installation in shared mechanical rooms.
The ACH580 is designed for UL-listed applications and can be installed in enclosures supporting UL Type 1, 12, or 3R configurations. CE compliance is typically pursued for international deployments. The combination of a protected bypass starter, door-mounted control panel, and interlocked disconnect enhances safety and regulatory alignment in commercial and industrial HVAC environments.
Maintenance benefits include reduced panel space, quicker service with the integrated bypass, and a robust electronic overload protection that minimizes motor wear and unplanned trips. ROI comes from energy efficiency gains due to precise motor control, lower downtime from streamlined maintenance, and faster commissioning. Remote monitoring and serial communications support ongoing performance optimization and predictive maintenance.
