FAQs
Plan for a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure installation and mount the device in a protected service area. Connect supply lines to 230/460/575 V as per the nameplate, install the door-interlocked disconnect or circuit breaker, and attach the bypass starter wiring. Use the door-mounted control panel to configure protections and enable serial communications for integration with BMS. Verify safety interlocks and perform a commissioning check before leaving the panel.
The drive is rated for 1 to 350 hp across 230/460/575 V, making it suitable for a broad range of HVAC equipment from fans to compressors. It includes electronic motor overload protection and a bypass option to minimize downtime during maintenance. This range supports mid- to large-capacity packaged HVAC applications, helping standardize drive selection across projects.
Yes. The ACH580-BCR-032A-6+B056 is designed for packaged HVAC environments, offering an integrated bypass, safe disconnect, and protective features in a rugged UL/NEMA-rated enclosure. Its voltage and horsepower flexibility, combined with remote communication capabilities, makes it ideal for rooftop units, packaged air handlers, and similar HVAC assemblies requiring reliable control and easy service.
The unit features a UL-listed enclosure capable of Type 1/12/3R configurations and includes the ABB E-Clipse bypass. These protections support safe installation and reliable operation in commercial and industrial spaces. The device also provides electronic overload protection and standard control interfaces compatible with common regulatory and safety practices in HVAC installations.
By integrating bypass, protection, and a local control panel, maintenance windows are shortened and downtime is reduced. The serial communications interface enables remote diagnostics and BMS integration, lowering service dispatch costs. The solution also supports energy-efficient operation through precise motor control, contributing to lower lifecycle costs and faster return on investment for HVAC projects.
