Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000227536 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 UL enclosure and E-Clipse bypass reduce panel space by consolidating drive components into a single housing. This consolidation lowers assembly time, decreases wiring complexity, and minimizes cabinet leakage paths, leading to measurable installation cost reductions. In new or retrofit applications such as conveyors, pumps, and fans, the compact ACH580 enables faster commissioning and cleaner electrical layouts. An input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with a door-mounted, interlocked switch provides a padlockable OFF position. The business impact is enhanced safety, easier lockout/tagout, and improved fault isolation, reducing downtime during maintenance. In industrial lines where quick, safe servicing is required, this feature aligns with safety programs and regulatory expectations. Bypass starter plus electronic motor overload protection protects motor windings and reduces nuisance tripping. The business impact includes lower maintenance costs, fewer unplanned outages, and longer motor life. In high-inertia loads common in pumps and fans, the system maintains smooth operation and protects critical equipment. Door-mounted control panel with graphical display enables local control and fast fault diagnostics; serial communications capability and external control connections simplify integration with PLCs and industrial networks. The business impact is improved operator efficiency, reduced training time, and easier remote monitoring. This makes it suitable for OEM machines, packaging lines, and energy-management projects. Voltage options 230/460/575 V and hp range 1–350 provide scalable performance for small to large drives. The business impact is asset flexibility, standardization of electrical components, and reduced spare-part inventories. In practice, this flexibility supports multi-line deployments and future expansion while maintaining efficiency and regulatory compliance.

FAQs
What steps are recommended when installing the ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass inside a UL-listed enclosure? Begin with selecting the correct enclosure type (Type 1, 12 or 3R) for the environment, ensure clean cabinet spacing, and confirm voltage compatibility (230/460/575 V). Plan conduit routing and establish proper grounding. Validate the door-mounted control panel access and verify the padlockable OFF feature during LO/TO procedures.
The ACH580 incorporates a bypass starter and electronic motor overload protection, which smooths startup, reduces inrush-related stress, and protects windings from thermal damage. This translates to fewer nuisance trips, longer motor life, and improved uptime on high-inertia loads such as conveyors and pumps. For maintenance planning, expect lower preventive maintenance labor and fewer unexpected outages.
Yes. The drive provides external control connections and serial communications capability, enabling integration with common PLCs and automation networks. This facilitates remote monitoring, fault diagnostics, and centralized control without extensive rewiring. For retrofit projects, confirm existing control logic aligns with the drive’s local and remote control options to minimize downtime.
The ACH580 is UL-listed and designed for NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, supporting safe operation across diverse industrial environments. While the data here emphasizes UL and enclosure type, always verify site-specific regulatory requirements and any regional CE or IP considerations during procurement and installation.
ROI drivers include reduced cabinet footprint, simplified wiring, and faster commissioning from an integrated bypass starter. Ongoing benefits come from improved uptime due to electronic overload protection, safer maintenance with padlockable OFF, and easier remote monitoring via serial communications. In manufacturing lines with frequent starts/stops, these factors can translate into meaningful reductions in downtime and maintenance costs.
