FAQs
For installation, ensure you select a UL Type 1 enclosure (with optional Type 12 or 3R configurations) to suit the indoor environment. Connect the door-mounted input disconnect and fast-acting drive fuses as shown in the manual, wire the control and external communication interfaces, and verify supply voltage of 230/460/575 V. The result is a compact, code-compliant setup that reduces field wiring and expedites commissioning.
The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes electronic motor overload protection to monitor motor current and torque. This feature prevents overheating and unexpected trips, which translates to longer motor life, fewer unplanned maintenance events, and lower total cost of ownership for HVAC systems that run continuously or on variable loads.
Yes. With 1 to 350 hp capacity and support for 230/460/575 V, the ACH580 Packaged Drive covers a wide range of fan and pump applications common in commercial and light industrial HVAC. The integrated disconnect and fuses simplify code compliance, while built-in communications enable easy integration with BAS/SCADA systems for optimized energy use.
The solution is UL listed and offered in NEMA-style enclosures (Type 1 primary, with 12 or 3R options available). These standards support safe indoor operation, align with facility safety programs, and simplify regulatory compliance during audits and inspections.
Adopting the packaged ACH580 reduces upfront wiring and enclosure costs, shortens commissioning time, and lowers spare-part stock due to a single, integrated solution. The electronic overload protection helps prevent motor damage, reducing maintenance frequency, while remote communications enable proactive monitoring and energy management for noticeable total cost of ownership improvements.
