FAQs
The ACH580-BCR-03A9-6+B058 is designed for straightforward installation in HVAC packages. Use the door-mounted control panel for local setup, connect the external control signals per the user manual, and install the E-Clipse bypass in the approved UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure. Ensure the interlocked disconnect is padlockable OFF during maintenance, and verify voltage compatibility (230/460/575 V) for your motor rating.
The drive supports 1 to 350 horsepower and voltage options of 230, 460, and 575 volts. This range supports a wide variety of HVAC motors, from small fans to large air handlers, enabling a single platform for retrofit projects and new installations.
Yes. With serial communications capability and external control connections, the drive integrates with building management systems and industrial automation networks. Its robust enclosure and bypass features make it suitable for both commercial HVAC and industrial ventilation applications where reliability and centralized control are priorities.
The ACH580-BCR-03A9-6+B058 features ABB E-Clipse bypass and UL-listed enclosures of Type 1, 12, or 3R. These certifications ensure compliance with safety and environmental requirements for indoor and outdoor installations in various markets, including commercial buildings and industrial facilities.
E-Clipse bypass simplifies maintenance by allowing quick bypass of the drive without removing the motor from service, reducing downtime. This improves mean time to repair (MTTR) and extends motor life by enabling safer, more efficient servicing, ultimately lowering maintenance costs and improving total cost of ownership.
