FAQs
The ACH580 supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and includes a door-mounted control panel, external control connections, and serial communications for easy integration. During installation, verify supply voltage matches the drive rating, mount in UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure, ensure the input disconnect or circuit breaker is correctly wired and interlocked, and follow padlockable OFF procedures for safe commissioning.
The E-Clipse bypass uses a bypass starter integrated into the drive enclosure, reducing wiring complexity and enabling smooth transition from run to bypass. It includes electronic motor overload protection and an interlocked, padlockable OFF door switch for safe maintenance. This combination minimizes startup faults and allows quick, safe bypass operations during service or testing.
Yes. The ACH580 is designed for retrofit projects due to its compact footprint, integrated bypass, and flexible enclosure options. It supports standard wiring, external control connections, and serial communications for integration with existing Building Management Systems. The braking and bypass features help minimize downtime during replacement, while the door-mounted panel simplifies commissioning in tight mechanical rooms.
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures for diverse environments. Regional variants may align with additional market-specific requirements. The combination of UL listing and robust enclosure options ensures compliance with common US building codes and safe operation within HVAC installations.
ROI benefits come from reduced electrical wiring, faster commissioning, lower downtime, and energy savings from precise motor control.
