FAQs
The ACH580-Packaged Drive is designed for direct installation inside UL-listed enclosures rated for Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R environments. It includes a door-mounted input disconnect (padlockable OFF) or a circuit breaker with fast-acting drive fuses, simplifying wiring and meeting common NEC/UL protection requirements. Ensure adequate clearance for ventilation, access to the control panel, and proper routing of control and power cables.
The drive supports a wide range of motor sizes from 1 to 350 horsepower and operates at 230/460/575 V three-phase power. This scalability makes it suitable for a broad set of HVAC applications, including large fans and pumps, without needing multiple drive platforms.
Yes. The packaged drive includes serial communications capability and external control connections, enabling integration with BAS/EMS platforms for monitoring, scheduling, and energy optimization. This supports centralized control and data trending for performance analytics.
The ACH580-Packaged Drive is UL-listed and offered in NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosure configurations. These ratings provide robust protection for indoor and outdoor installations and align with common industrial safety and electrical standards in commercial HVAC projects.
By combining drive, protection, and local control in a single enclosure, the solution reduces wiring, panel assembly time, and commissioning effort. The integrated overload protection and fuses lower motor wear and downtime, while BAS connectivity enables ongoing energy management, delivering faster return on investment through improved reliability and efficiency.
