FAQs
Consider mounting location in a UL/NEMA-rated enclosure (Type 1, 12, or 3R) and verify supply voltage of 230/460/575 V. Ensure the door-mounted control panel remains accessible for local control, and plan for the optional external control connections and serial communications to integrate with existing automation. The integrated bypass allows service without full drive removal, reducing downtime.
The ACH580 supports 1 to 350 hp at 230/460/575 V and includes an E-Clipse bypass with a bypass starter. It provides electronic motor overload protection and a compact, integrated package with a door-mounted graphical display for local control, all within UL-listed enclosures. Current configurations include a representative 20 hp setup rated around 59.4 A, with scalable performance for larger motors.
Yes. The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is designed for HVAC packaged units, rooftop units, and large fans or compressors in light industrial settings. Its integrated bypass, protection features, and remote communications make it suitable for applications requiring high availability, predictable motor protection, and easy integration into a facility’s automation stack.
This drive is UL-listed and designed for NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures, offering a durable, code-compliant solution for indoor mechanical rooms and outdoor-rated spaces depending on enclosure selection. The padlockable OFF feature enhances safety in maintenance activities and supports standard lockout/tagout procedures.
Integrated E-Clipse bypass minimizes downtime during maintenance, reducing service time and spare parts needs.
