FAQs
Installation requires mounting the packaged drive inside a UL Type 1 enclosure, connecting the door-mounted input disconnect with padlockable OFF, and wiring the drive to the 230/460/575 V power source. Ensure fast-acting fuses are in place, and integrate the external control signals as specified by the ACH580 installation guide. Field wiring should follow applicable electrical codes to maintain safety and performance.
The model supports 1–350 hp across 230/460/575 V supplies with a maximum current of 414 A. This range makes it suitable for a wide variety of HVAC motors, including fans and pumps, while maintaining protective features such as electronic motor overload protection and integrated control capabilities.
Yes. The ACH580 Packaged Drive is specifically designed for HVAC applications, consolidating drive electronics, control, and safety into a single UL-listed enclosure. Its motor protection, local control panel, and serial communications enable precise fan and pump speed control, energy savings, and integration with building management systems.
The drive is UL-listed with a NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosure configuration and CE-compatible for global deployments. These certifications support safe installation, reliable operation in varied environments, and compliance with international electrical standards for HVAC equipment.
Using a packaged solution reduces cabinet footprint, wiring complexity, and commissioning time, which lowers installation costs. The integrated overload protection, disconnect switch, and local control panel help minimize maintenance downtime and extend motor life, while serial communications enable proactive monitoring and optimization through a building management system.
