FAQs
Yes, the ACH580-VDR-011A-6 is suitable for HVAC motors in commercial and industrial systems and supports 1 to 75 hp at 230/460/575 V. Wiring should follow ABB’s installation guide, using the built-in input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses, and leveraging the door-mounted control panel for local setup. Ensure proper sizing of conductors and adherence to local electrical codes for a safe, compliant installation.
Core specs include a horsepower range from 1 to 75 hp and a 230/460/575 V supply. The drive includes electronic motor overload protection and an integrated E-Clipse bypass with a bypass motor starter. It offers a door-mounted graphical display and serial communications capability, enabling effective local control and remote integration while protecting equipment against overload and faults.
Best-suited for air handlers, rooftop units, and variable or constant speed fans and pumps in indoor mechanical spaces. The built-in bypass allows maintenance without interrupting the HVAC load, while the enclosure protects electronics in typical mechanical rooms. Its control panel and BAS integration support streamlined commissioning and ongoing monitoring in commercial buildings.
The drive is designed with a UL-listed, NEMA Type 1 enclosure to support indoor installations and safety requirements. It includes a door-mounted control panel and an interlocked, padlockable OFF position for maintenance safety. For additional certifications such as CE or IP ratings, refer to the official ABB datasheet for the exact configuration used in your region.
By combining motor control, protection, and bypass in a single indoor enclosure, it reduces wiring complexity and installation time. The E-Clipse bypass minimizes downtime during servicing, while electronic overload protection lowers motor wear and risk of unexpected failures. Serial communications enable remote monitoring, supporting predictive maintenance and a faster return on investment through energy efficiency and reduced maintenance labor.
