FAQs
The packaged drive is designed for straightforward installation within a UL Type 1 enclosure and can be mounted with the door-mounted disconnect accessible for maintenance. Ensure supply is 230/460/575 V and that the enclosure accommodates the local control panel, control wiring, and external control connections. The unit ships with protective fusing and must be configured to match your HVAC load profile to optimize performance.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive supports 1 to 350 hp with 230/460/575 V operation and includes electronic motor overload protection. This makes it appropriate for fans, air handling units, and compressors in commercial and light-industrial HVAC systems, delivering reliable speed control and protection under fluctuating load conditions.
The drive is housed in a UL (NEMA) Type 1 enclosure, with options for additional enclosure variants such as 12 and 3R in the packaged offering. This configuration supports safe installation in typical building environments and aligns with standard HVAC equipment requirements, simplifying regulatory compliance for US-based installations.
Absolutely. The ACH580 Packaged Drive includes serial communications capability, enabling straightforward integration with PLCs and building management systems. This reduces wiring complexity, improves data exchange for monitoring and control, and supports centralized energy management in modern facilities.
By combining drive, enclosure, disconnect, and protection in a single unit, commissioning time is shortened and field wiring is reduced. The built-in overload protection minimizes downtime from motor faults, while the local control panel accelerates fault diagnosis.Together, these factors contribute to lower lifecycle costs and improved system reliability for HVAC applications.
