FAQs
The ACH580 BCR-014A-4+B056 is designed for straightforward retrofit and new installations. It supports 230/460/575 V networks and 1–350 hp, with a door-mounted control panel for local setup. Compatibility considerations include matching wire sizing and circuit protection to the drive’s input requirements, ensuring the 230/460/575 V supply can safely support the motor load, and configuring the e-Clipse bypass within UL/NEMA-rated enclosures for compliant operation.
Key performance features include electronic motor overload protection, an integrated e-Clipse bypass, and a bypass motor starter that preserves motor torque during bypass operation. These elements reduce nuisance trips, protect motor windings, and optimize energy use in variable-speed applications. The serial communications capability also enables precise speed control and monitoring via BAS/SCADA for improved process efficiency.
Yes. The ACH580 is engineered for HVAC fans, pumps, and air handling units, offering a compact, UL/NEMA-rated enclosure with a bypass option that minimizes downtime during maintenance. Its wide HP range and multiple voltage configurations support both retrofit projects and new installs in commercial facilities, while integration options with building management systems streamline centralized control.
The drive is UL-listed for the US market and available in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, addressing both safety and installation code requirements. The integrated bypass and lockable OFF disconnect enhance compliance with lockout/tagout procedures, while the graphical local display supports straightforward validation during commissioning.
By combining bypass, protection, and control in a single enclosure, the ACH580 reduces wiring, commissioning time, and maintenance visits. Electronic overload protection minimizes motor wear and unscheduled trips, while serial communications and BAS integration lower operating expenses through centralized monitoring. Over the lifecycle, these features translate to lower maintenance costs and a faster return on investment for HVAC projects.
