FAQs
Plan for a 230/460/575 V supply and up to 350 hp capacity, with a door-mount disconnect option and an interlocked, padlockable OFF position. Ensure a UL Type 1/12/3R enclosure or equivalent, proper cable routing to the local control panel, and available external control connections for seamless integration with plant SCADA or DCS systems. Allow space for bolted mounting and adequate ventilation.
The E-Clipse bypass provides a bypass motor starter that can be serviced without fully removing the drive from service. This minimizes downtime during motor or drive maintenance, allowing continued operation of the HVAC system while bypassing the drive path. It is especially beneficial for applications with critical cooling or ventilation loads where uptime is essential.
Yes. The ACH580 with E-Clipse bypass is UL-listed and CE-marked, designed for use in environments requiring protection via NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. This combination supports safe operation in a wide range of industrial and commercial HVAC installations, meeting major electrical and safety standards while enabling straightforward integration into control architectures.
Packaged HVAC units, air handlers, and fan or pump drives particularly benefit due to the device’s integrated bypass, robust protection, and flexible voltage support. The drive’s compatibility with 230/460/575 V systems makes it suitable for mid to large commercial buildings and light industrial facilities seeking reliable, energy-efficient motor control.
Expect reduced downtime from quick bypass maintenance, lower spare-parts costs due to a single, flexible platform, and longer motor life through electronic overload protection. The built-in control panel and serial communications enable faster commissioning and easier integration with building management systems, contributing to lower total cost of ownership over the system’s lifetime.
