FAQs
Yes. The ACH580 supports 230/460/575 V three-phase power and ships with an integrated E-Clipse bypass. Wiring complexity is reduced due to the door-mounted disconnect and built-in bypass starter, which simplifies installation and minimizes field connections. Ensure the enclosure is installed in a permitted indoor or appropriate outdoor space per NEMA Type 1/12/3R guidelines, and follow ABB’s wiring diagrams for bypass configuration.
The ACH580 covers 1 to 350 hp with input voltages of 230/460/575 V. It includes electronic motor overload protection, a bypass starter, and a control panel with local display. Protection features help prevent motor damage during overloads and faults, while the bypass enables maintenance without stopping the driven load. All protections align with standard industrial safety practices.
This drive is well-suited for packaged HVAC equipment such as fans, pumps, and compressors in commercial and light-industrial facilities. Benefits include a compact, integrated bypass solution, a door-mounted control panel for easy local operation, and a UL-listed enclosure. Its scalable hp range and multi-voltage support simplify procurement, stocking, and installation across multiple equipment types.
The ACH580 is UL-listed and designed for NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures. This combination provides safe operation in a variety of indoor environments and controlled outdoor spaces. The integrated bypass starter and protection features further support compliance with typical safety and maintenance requirements for HVAC drives.
By reducing wiring and panel complexity, the ACH580 lowers installation time and field labor. The integrated bypass allows downtime-free maintenance, while electronic overload protection minimizes motor wear and unplanned outages. When combined with remote communications, it enables proactive monitoring and energy-management integration, contributing to a shorter payback period and lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
