FAQs
Install in UL Type 1, 12, or 3R compliant enclosures with a door-mounted control panel. Use the integrated bypass starter and ensure the input disconnect or circuit breaker is padlockable in OFF to meet safety and lockout/tagout requirements. Verify supply is 230/460/575 V and horsepower falls within 1–350 hp range.
The E-Clipse bypass provides a safe, enclosed bypass path for motor startup and maintenance, reducing downtime and wiring complexity. It allows seamless transition between bypass and run modes, improving serviceability and protecting system availability during routine maintenance or fault conditions.
Yes, the drive is UL-listed and designed for integration with HVAC controls and building management systems. It features a door-mounted control panel and serial communications, enabling straightforward remote monitoring and integration with BMS networks while maintaining compliance with safety standards.
The ACH580 supports 1 to 350 horsepower and operates at 230/460/575 V. This range allows use across small to large HVAC applications, from packaged rooftop units to commercial air handlers, without changing drives as capacity needs grow.
With integrated electronic overload protection, a bypass option, and a compact enclosure, maintenance time is reduced and component failure risk is lowered. ROI improves through energy-efficient motor control, simplified commissioning, and fewer external bypass components, leading to lower total cost of ownership for HVAC systems.
