FAQs
Installation begins with mounting the ACH580 in a UL Type 1 enclosure and ensuring adequate ventilation. Connect the input power at 230 V single-phase or three-phase as rated, wire the integrated bypass starter, and attach the door-mounted control panel. Use the padlockable OFF interlock for safe maintenance, and verify serial communications if connecting to BAS or other control networks.
For 230 V operation, the unit provides up to 5 HP output with a maximum input current of 16.7 A. The ACH580 supports a range from 1 to 75 HP and is suitable for 230/460/575 V configurations. It includes fast-acting drive fuses and electronic overload protection to guard motors against overload events.
Yes. The E-Clipse bypass integrates a bypass motor starter, enabling a smooth bypass transition and safe isolation when service is required. This design minimizes mechanical and electrical transients, aiding in reliable operation of fans and pumps while simplifying maintenance workflows.
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass features a UL-recognized, NEMA Type 1 enclosure for safe indoor installation. While specific CE markings or SIL ratings are not listed in the provided data, the enclosure and protective features align with common electrical safety standards used in commercial HVAC installations, supporting safer commissioning and ongoing operations.
The integrated bypass reduces the number of components and field wiring, cutting install time and potential points of failure. Electronic motor overload protection prevents costly motor damage, while the ability to interface with BAS via serial communications streamlines monitoring. Together, these features can shorten downtime, extend motor life, and lower total ownership costs.
