FAQs
The ACH580 supports 230/460/575 V and ranges from 1 to 350 hp, packaged in a UL-listed NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure with a door-mounted control panel. It integrates a bypass starter, reducing wiring complexity and enclosure footprint. This makes retrofits and new builds quicker to commission, while preserving existing duct and fan configurations with minimal rewiring.
Key specs include 1–350 hp, 230/460/575 V operation, and an integrated E-Clipse bypass with a bypass starter. The drive includes electronic motor overload protection and a local graphical control panel, plus serial communications. These features deliver reliable motor control, fast fault diagnosis, and flexible control in HVAC applications such as fans, pumps, and compressors.
Yes. The ACH580 is UL-listed and available in NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures, designed for a range of indoor HVAC environments. It also provides an input disconnect or circuit breaker with an interlocked door, making it compatible with standard electrical distribution and building automation interfaces from day one.
The integrated E-Clipse bypass eliminates the need for separate bypass hardware and reduces wiring, which shortens installation time and minimizes cabinet space. For maintenance, the door-mounted control panel and padlockable OFF feature simplify safe servicing and quick fault resolution, improving overall uptime in critical HVAC equipment.
By delivering energy-efficient speed control, reducing start-up energy spikes, and cutting installation labor through an integrated bypass and compact enclosure, the ACH580 lowers operating costs and downtime. The combination of remote monitoring via serial communications and centralized control supports ongoing energy-management initiatives and predictable maintenance planning, delivering favorable total cost of ownership over the drive’s life.
