FAQs
Install the ACH580-BCR-03A9-6+B056 in a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure as specified, with the E-Clipse bypass engaged for protected bypass operation. Ensure the input disconnect or circuit breaker is padlockable in OFF for maintenance safety. Verify 230/460/575 V supply compatibility and connect external control lines per BAS requirements. Proper wiring, enclosure rating, and by-pass integration reduce commissioning time and improve reliability in packaged HVAC systems.
The drive covers a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and operates at 230/460/575 V. It includes electronic motor overload protection and a bypass starter, delivering safe, protected operation. Power wiring and control connections are designed for straightforward installation in HVAC equipment like air handling units and pumps, with a door-mounted control panel for local visibility.
Yes. The ACH580 supports external control connections and serial communications, enabling integration with building management systems and BAS. This compatibility enables remote monitoring, fault diagnostics, and coordinated control across multiple HVAC assets, reducing energy waste and improving system performance in commercial facilities.
The drive is UL-listed and designed for NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R enclosures. This combination provides safe, compliant operation in varied environments, from equipment rooms to outdoor-ready installations. Using the compliant enclosure reduces risk during maintenance and supports regulatory adherence in HVAC installations.
By consolidating drive and bypass functionality, the ACH580 reduces wiring complexity and installation time, lowering labor costs. Electronic overload protection and a door-mounted display streamline diagnostics, reducing maintenance downtime. The scalable 1–350 hp range plus wide voltage support helps standardize parts across facilities, delivering lower total cost of ownership and faster payback in mid- to large-scale HVAC deployments.
