Product Information
Extended Description
3AUA0000233135 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
Integrated ABB E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter reduces downtime during maintenance and simplifies service without removing the drive enclosure. This design delivers faster repairs and lower field labor costs, especially in tight HVAC equipment spaces such as rooftop units and air handlers. The business impact is clear: reduced unscheduled downtime and improved uptime metrics for critical climate control. Application interests include large-format HVAC fans and pumps where rapid bypass, safe isolation, and quick troubleshooting are essential. The system also supports seamless integration with building management systems for centralized monitoring and control. In short, users gain a compact, space-efficient solution that accelerates commissioning and lowers lifecycle costs. Long-term reliability is enhanced by built-in electronic overload protection and robust protection features that support regulated operation.

FAQs
The ACH580-VDR-052A-6 is designed for standard HVAC panel installations with a UL Type 1 enclosure and NEMA compatibility. It includes a door-mounted control panel, padlockable OFF interlock, and an integrated bypass starter, enabling straightforward retrofits or new installations in mechanical rooms and rooftop units. Ensure voltage selection covers 230/460/575 V and that panel space accommodates the bypass hardware and protection devices. Wiring diagrams and field wiring best practices from ABB support help minimize commissioning time and errors.
Key specs include a motor control range from 1 to 75 hp with selectable 230/460/575 V supply. The unit provides 50 hp rated performance at 575 V and up to 52 A current, along with electronic motor overload protection and drive fusing. The built-in bypass starter and safety interlocks support reliable operation in HVAC equipment like fans, pumps, and compressors, while serial communications enable integration with automation networks.
Yes. The ACH580-VDR-052A-6 includes external control connections and serial communications capability, enabling PID control loops and remote monitoring within a broader building management system. This supports centralized performance tuning, energy optimization, and fault detection. For installers, the graphical local display aids on-site commissioning, while remote interfaces reduce现场 service visits and expedite issue resolution.
The drive uses a UL Type 1 enclosure (NEMA-compatible) with a bypass motor starter and fast-acting drive fuses. Safety interlocks on the door, padlockable OFF position, and electronic motor overload protection contribute to compliant, safe operation in commercial HVAC environments. These features help meet regulatory requirements and reduce risk during maintenance and startup.
The integrated bypass, compact enclosure, and protection features reduce installation complexity and field wiring, lowering initial labor costs. Energy-efficient motor control drives down operating power usage, while the bypass option minimizes downtime during maintenance. Remote monitoring capabilities support proactive maintenance and faster issue resolution, delivering payback through reduced energy costs and improved system availability.
