FAQs
Yes. The drive supports 230, 460, and 575 V inputs with 1–75 hp output, making it suitable for a wide range of HVAC equipment. It provides an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses and a door-mounted control panel for straightforward indoor installation in UL Type 1 (NEMA) enclosures.
Key protections include electronic motor overload protection, fast-acting drive fuses, and a bypass starter. These features guard motors during startup and operation, reduce nuisance trips, and simplify service by allowing the drive to bypass the motor for maintenance. This combination lowers unscheduled downtime and extends motor life in demanding HVAC loads.
Best suited for commercial and industrial HVAC tasks such as cooling tower fans, air handling units, rooftop units, and pumps in variable air volume systems. The E-Clipse bypass simplifies maintenance, while the door-mounted graphical display speeds commissioning. Serial communications and external control connections enable seamless integration with building management systems for energy optimization.
The unit features a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure and UL-listed components suitable for indoor installation. This aligns with common industrial safety requirements for HVAC equipment. ABB also offers broader CE-compliant and IP-rated variants in other configurations to meet regional deployment needs.
The integrated bypass reduces downtime during service, and the advanced motor control minimizes energy waste and wear. Remote monitoring and diagnostics support predictive maintenance, lowering spare parts and labor costs. Overall, you gain faster restoration of service and energy savings, delivering a favorable return on investment for facilities with substantial HVAC load.
