FAQs
The ACH580-BCR-027A-6+B058 is a packaged HVAC drive designed to control motors in commercial air handling, rooftop units, and other packaged HVAC systems. It combines a variable frequency drive with an E-Clipse bypass, allowing safe bypass maintenance and simplified control wiring. It supports up to 350 hp at three voltage options (230/460/575 V) and includes protection features to safeguard motor health.
Yes. The ACH580-BCR-027A-6+B058 supports 230, 460, and 575 V supply and covers a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp. This voltage flexibility makes it suitable for a wide range of HVAC motor sizes and allows easier integration with existing electrical infrastructure and building systems.
The drive is available in UL-listed enclosures corresponding to NEMA Type 1, Type 12, or Type 3R options, providing protection suitable for indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor locations. It also includes an input disconnect or circuit breaker, an interlocked door-mounted control panel, and safety interlocks, which support safe operation and straightforward maintenance.
E-Clipse bypass integrates a bypass starter that lets the drive be bypassed without removing power from the system, reducing downtime during maintenance. The combined arrangement simplifies service routines, minimizes wiring changes, and maintains motor control continuity, which is especially valuable in critical HVAC applications with strict uptime requirements.
Consider enclosure type selection (UL/NEMA per environment), availability of the door-mounted graphical control panel for local monitoring, and the need for external control connections and serial communications. Ensure compatibility with 230/460/575 V mains and confirm motor compatibility up to 350 hp. Plan for proper safety interlocks and lockout/tagout procedures during commissioning.
