FAQs
The ACH580-VCR-017A-6 is designed for 230/460/575 V three-phase systems and supports 1–75 hp. Installation should place the drive in a UL Type 1 enclosure, use the built-in input disconnect or circuit breaker, and connect to external controls and serial communications. Pre-wired harnesses and a door-mounted control panel simplify wiring trails and commissioning, reducing project timelines.
Key performance features include an integrated E-Clipse bypass with bypass starter, electronic motor overload protection, and a graphical local control panel. These reduce downtime, prevent motor damage from overload conditions, and enable precise tuning for efficiency, comfort, and energy savings in fan and pump applications common to HVAC systems.
Yes. The drive’s 1–75 hp range and 230/460/575 V compatibility cover typical ROO and AHU motors. The UL Type 1 enclosure and integrated bypass support safe, space-conscious installation in mechanical rooms or rooftop applications, while the serial communications enable integration with building management systems for centralized control.
The ACH580-VCR-017A-6 is UL-listed with a NEMA Type 1 enclosure, delivering industry-standard protection for indoor environments. Additional safety features include an integrated bypass starter, fast-acting drive fuses, and a padlockable OFF position via the door interlock, supporting safer maintenance and compliant operation.
By consolidating drive, bypass, and protection into a single unit, you reduce wiring complexity and field wiring errors, lowering commissioning time and maintenance events. The electronic overload protection and remote communications help optimize energy use and enable predictive maintenance, contributing to lower operating costs and faster project payback.
