Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000233134 ABB: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass has an integrated UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with a bypass motor starter and is available from 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V. The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass provides an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker, both including fast acting drive fuses, 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
Feature → Business Impact → Application: ABB E-Clipse bypass is integrated with a bypass starter, enabling a safe, fast transition between drive control and direct motor operation. This design minimizes HVAC system downtime during servicing and simplifies fault isolation, improving maintenance efficiency. In typical building automation applications, it reduces service time and accelerates return to full operation for fans and pumps. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The drive ships in a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure with a door-mounted control panel, delivering safer local control and easier accessibility in restricted or console-less installations. This enhances compliance with safety standards while speeding commissioning for retrofit projects in commercial buildings. Feature → Business Impact → Application: An input disconnect switch or circuit breaker option, combined with fast-acting drive fuses, improves safety sequencing and protects equipment during startup and fault conditions. This supports code compliance and minimizes the risk of electrical faults propagating through the HVAC loop. Feature → Business Impact → Application: A broad voltage and horsepower range (1–75 hp, 230/460/575 V) provides flexible compatibility with legacy motors and future upgrades, reducing spare parts inventory and enabling phased modernization in industrial HVAC. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability enables remote monitoring, integration with building management systems (BMS), and PLC control, enhancing operability, alarm handling, and performance analytics for large facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection guards motors from short-term overloads, lowering maintenance costs and extending motor life in demanding HVAC duty cycles and variable load conditions.
