FAQs
Installation is simplified by the integrated bypass starter and a compact UL Type 1 enclosure. Plan for a single-paneled footprint, mount the drive at standard RACK/surface heights, and connect the bypass switch, drive fuses, and padlockable OFF mechanism in sequence. The door-mounted control panel aids commissioning and fault diagnosis without requiring extensive wiring changes.
Yes. The ACH580-VDR-02A7 supports 230/460/575 V input, accommodating a wide range of HVAC motors from 1 to 75 hp. This compatibility enables seamless integration with both legacy and modern commercial and industrial HVAC equipment, reducing the need for multiple drive variants.
The product features a UL Type 1 enclosure (NEMA-aligned protection) for indoor applications, meeting essential safety requirements for HVAC drives. This certification supports compliance in buildings and mechanical rooms while enabling reliable performance under standard residential-commercial codes.
The E-Clipse bypass provides a safe, integrated bypass path that allows motor operation to continue with minimal interruption during drive maintenance or failure. This reduces downtime, improves serviceability, and enables safer shutoffs for maintenance personnel, all within a compact, single-box enclosure.
With electronic motor overload protection, local graphical display, and serial communications, facility teams can monitor motor health, optimize energy usage, and remotely configure settings. The reduced panel footprint and built-in bypass lower installation and maintenance costs, delivering faster commissioning and lower total cost of ownership for HVAC systems.
