FAQs
The ACH580 is designed for straightforward integration with existing automation setups. It includes external control connections and serial communications capability, supports 230/460/575 V installations, and provides a door-mounted graphical control panel for local operation. When retrofitting, ensure compatible control wiring, confirm available horsepower range (1–350 hp), and align with your PLC/SCADA communication protocol to enable seamless remote monitoring and control.
Key specifications to verify include horsepower range from 1 to 350 hp and input voltages of 230/460/575 V. It features an integrated bypass starter, electronic motor overload protection, and a UL-listed, NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure. The unit offers a door-mounted control panel for local operation and supports external control connections and serial communications for integration with automation systems.
Industries such as manufacturing, HVAC, pumping systems, and material handling benefit from the ACH580 due to its compact enclosure, built-in bypass, and robust protection features. Use cases include redirecting motor startup sequences through a bypass path, protecting motors with electronic overload protection, and enabling rapid commissioning in retrofit projects or new installations with tight space constraints.
The ACH580 carries UL listing and is designed for UL (NEMA) Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures. This combination provides safety and environmental protection appropriate for standard industrial environments, with the added benefit of a padlockable OFF position on the disconnect option and a protected bypass starter mechanism.
By consolidating a bypass starter, overload protection, control panel, and communication interfaces into a single unit, the ACH580 reduces wiring complexity and cabinet footprint, trimming installation costs and space. It also lowers maintenance downtime through quick fault diagnosis on the door-mounted panel and safer local control, while enabling remote supervision via serial communications to improve asset uptime and overall ROI.
