FAQs
Install the ACH580 in a UL-listed enclosure suitable for the environment (Type 1/12/3R). Use the door-mounted control panel for local parameter access, ensure the bypass path is correctly wired, and verify that the disconnect or circuit breaker is accessible for safe maintenance. Follow manufacturer wiring diagrams and ensure external control connections align with your BMS interface.
The integrated E-Clipse bypass consolidates the bypass function within the same enclosure as the drive, reducing the need for separate bypass hardware. This simplifies wiring, shortens commissioning time, and enables rapid fault isolation, leading to lower maintenance costs and less downtime during repair or replacement.
Yes. The ACH580 supports 230/460/575 V three-phase systems and offers a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp, enabling both small fan applications and large HVAC motors. This scalability makes it suitable for retrofits and new installations across diverse facility sizes and performance requirements.
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is UL-listed and available with NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosure configurations, providing recognized safety and protective standards for HVAC equipment installations. This combination supports safer operation and easier regulatory compliance in commercial and industrial environments.
By reducing BOM complexity, wiring, and panel space while offering integrated protection and bypass, the ACH580 lowers installation and maintenance costs. Faster commissioning, improved uptime, and easier integration with building management systems contribute to quicker payback, reduced total cost of ownership, and sustained energy-efficient operation over the system’s life cycle.
