FAQs
The ACH580 supports 1 to 350 hp across 230, 460, and 575 V, enabling a scalable solution for a wide range of HVAC loads—from small fans to larger pumps. It includes an integrated E-Clipse bypass and a bypass starter, plus an input disconnect or circuit breaker to meet robust safety requirements in mechanical rooms and equipment spaces.
E-Clipse bypass provides a mechanical bypass path that isolates the motor from the drive during maintenance, reducing downtime and simplifying servicing. The door-mounted control panel offers local control and status visibility, while the bypass starter assembly enables quick, safe switching without rewiring, which is ideal for quick-turnaround HVAC maintenance in commercial buildings.
Best-suited applications include fans, pumps, and air-handling equipment in commercial buildings, data centers, and light-industrial facilities. The compact, integrated package supports large-scale fan arrays and variable-speed control for energy efficiency, while the bypass option helps maintain uptime during service or upgrades without complete system shutdowns.
The ACH580 is UL-listed and offers NEMA Type 1, 12 or 3R enclosure options, delivering reliable protection for demanding environments. It also includes electronic motor overload protection, a padlockable OFF switch, and a door-mounted control panel with graphical display, supporting safe operation, maintenance, and compliance in building automation projects.
Maintenance is streamlined by the integrated bypass, protective features, and a compact enclosure that reduces external wiring. Energy efficiency from precise speed control lowers operating costs, and serial communications enable remote monitoring and predictive maintenance, contributing to higher uptime and faster ROI in HVAC systems and building management programs.
