Engineers often struggle to integrate a reliable input disconnect, bypass starter, and motor overload protection in compact installations. UL listing with a UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure provides robust safety and serviceability in the field. This design supports industrial motor drive applications, E-Clipse bypass integration, and flexible control options, delivering measurable business value. By simplifying wiring, enabling faster commissioning, and enabling remote or local control, this solution reduces downtime and total cost of ownership. The drive supports serial communications for integration with industrial networks, improving system visibility and predictive maintenance planning.
Product Information
Extended Description
3AUD0000004268 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 → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 with ABB E-Clipse bypass integrates a bypass motor starter within a single enclosure, reducing the need for separate components and simplifying maintenance. This consolidation translates to faster service turns, lower commissioning costs, and improved uptime for HVAC systems such as rooftop units and air handling units that demand reliable bypass operation and quick fault recovery. Application: HVAC packages, rooftop units, and air handling systems seeking dependable bypass functionality and reduced wiring complexity. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The unit offers a door-mounted control panel with a graphical display and an interlocked disconnect or circuit breaker (padlockable OFF), delivering enhanced safety and easier local control. This improves operator safety during maintenance and speeds up troubleshooting, which is critical in critical facilities and retail HVAC deployments. Application: On-site training, fault diagnosis, and rapid reset during service windows. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Electronic motor overload protection protects both drive and motor against overload events, minimizing rewinds, motor damage, and false trips. The result is longer motor life, lower energy waste, and reduced warranty claims, especially in variable torque HVAC loads. Application: Commercial and industrial HVAC systems with varying load profiles. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The ACH580 supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V, enabling scalable deployments from small fan motors to larger compressors without replacing drives. This scalability lowers total cost of ownership and inventory requirements for equipment fleets. Application: Multi-building campuses and modular HVAC projects where future expansion is anticipated. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Serial communications capability ensures easy integration with building management systems and external automation networks, improving visibility, remote diagnostics, and predictive maintenance scheduling. Application: Integrated facility management, energy optimization programs, and OEM-controlled installations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: The integrated UL-listed enclosure (NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R) and built-in bypass reduce field wiring and enclosure footprint, enabling faster installations in restricted spaces and improving compliance with electrical safety standards. Application: New build-outs in data centers, healthcare facilities, and commercial landscapes where space is at a premium.
