Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000006 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
Feature: The ACH580 integrates the ABB E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter, delivering a compact, all-in-one solution that eliminates separate starter panels in many installations. Business Impact: Fewer field components shorten wiring runs, reduce potential mis-wiring, and speed maintenance scheduling, yielding measurable installation productivity gains in busy OEM and retrofit projects. Application: Ideal for HVAC packaged units, air handling systems, and packaged rooftop units where a safe bypass path is essential during startup, testing, or service. Feature: Built-in UL protection and factory-supported enclosure options with UL-listed NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R ratings, plus a door-mounted disconnect or circuit breaker with interlock. Business Impact: Accelerates electrical compliance during audits, minimizes on-site modifications, and lowers labor costs by guaranteeing correct enclosure performance from the factory. Application: Suitable for indoor electrical rooms, mechanical spaces, and controlled environments in commercial buildings and light industrial facilities. Feature: Electronic motor overload protection provides precise, configurable protection that adapts to motor current, temperature, and startup characteristics. Business Impact: Reduces unplanned downtime, extends motor life, and lowers maintenance expenses by detecting anomalies early. Application: Applies to compressors, fans, pumps, and cooling towers in large-scale HVAC systems, where reliable protection translates to fewer service calls. Feature: Door-mounted control panel with graphical display supports intuitive local control, diagnostics, and parameter tuning. Business Impact: Operators and technicians can configure, monitor, and troubleshoot without separate HMI devices, speeding commissioning and reducing training time. Application: Particularly valuable in building automation rooms, service closets, and retrofit projects where quick access to status and faults matters. Feature: Serial communications capability enables reliable integration with plant-wide control systems via standard protocols, enabling remote diagnostics and supervision. Business Impact: Improves asset visibility, enables predictive maintenance, and supports data-driven optimization for energy efficiency. Application: Fits into modern industrial HVAC ecosystems, data centers, and process cooling networks requiring centralized monitoring. Feature: Broad voltage and horsepower range—from 230/460/575 V and 1 to 350 hp, with revised current ratings up to 302 A—offers flexible deployment for new builds and retrofits. Business Impact: Maximizes reuse of existing drives and drives procurement efficiency, reduces spare-part inventory, and shortens lead times for project teams. Application: Suitable for a wide variety of fans, pumps, conveyors, and air handling equipment in commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities.
