Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000000714 ABB: The ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive 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 400 hp at 460 V. The ACH580-31 ultra-low harmonic drive 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: The ACH580-31 integrates an ultra-low harmonic design with an E-Clipse bypass, which significantly reduces electrical distortion and improves motor efficiency in HVAC and process pumps. This translates to measurable energy savings and longer motor life in demanding facilities. Application-wise, it supports 1 to 400 hp at 460 V, making it suitable for mid- to large-capacity fans and pumps with tight power quality requirements. Feature → Safety and control → The drive includes a door-mounted graphical display, electronic motor overload protection, and an interlocked, padlockable OFF position, reducing maintenance risk and ensuring compliant shutdown procedures during servicing. Application-wise, this is ideal for facilities with strict lockout/tagout policies and on-site technician training needs. Feature → Installation and integration → With a built-in bypass motor starter and optional external control connections, installation is simplified and commissioning time is reduced, enabling faster project timelines and lower total cost of ownership. Application-wise, engineers can deploy ABB E-Clipse bypass in new builds or retrofits where uptime and safety are paramount. Feature → Communications and compatibility → Serial communications capability and 460 V compatibility enable easy integration with existing plant networks and PLCs, supporting scalable control architectures for HVAC systems and industrial drives. Application-wise, this supports centralized monitoring and remote diagnostics for facilities aiming to improve uptime and predictive maintenance. Feature → Compliance and reliability → The UL-listed enclosure options (Type 1, 12, 3R) provide compliant protection in diverse environments, while fast-acting drive fuses ensure quick fault isolation. Application-wise, this is critical for regulated industries seeking dependable service and rapid fault clearance in dusty or wet environments.
