FAQs
The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is designed to integrate with standard HVAC motor configurations up to 350 hp and supports 230/460/575 V supplies. It features a door-mounted control panel and an interlocked disconnect, enabling straightforward retrofits or new installs while maintaining electrical code compliance. Ensure enclosure type matches your installation (Type 1/12/3R) and verify control interface compatibility with your building automation system.
Key performance specs include a horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and voltage options of 230, 460, or 575 V. It provides electronic motor overload protection, built-in bypass starting, and serial communications capability. The enclosure supports UL listing with NEMA Type 1/12/3R configurations, delivering reliable operation in typical HVAC environments and enabling integration with monitoring systems.
Applications include packaged HVAC systems, air handling units, roof-top units, and large commercial fans or pumps. The integrated bypass and safety features reduce downtime during maintenance and ensure a safe, compliant switch-over path. This is particularly advantageous in environments demanding high reliability and quick serviceability, such as data centers and healthcare facilities.
This drive is UL-listed and designed for installation in NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, which supports safe indoor and some outdoor locations depending on the enclosure. These standards help ensure electrical safety, protection against environmental conditions, and compliance with common industrial procurement requirements for HVAC drives and motor starters.
The integration of drive, bypass, and disconnect into a single unit reduces installed cost and wiring complexity, accelerating commissioning. Enhanced motor protection and remote monitoring capabilities minimize unscheduled downtime, while the compact, serviceable design simplifies preventive maintenance. Over time, energy-efficient operation and reduced maintenance translate to lower lifecycle costs for HVAC installations.
