FAQs
The ACH580-31 is designed as a packaged unit that includes an input disconnect or circuit breaker with fast-acting fuses and a door-mounted control panel. Installers should site the unit in a temperature-controlled space compatible with UL (NEMA) Type 1/12/3R configurations, ensure 460 V supply wiring is correctly sized for up to 240 A, and verify external control connections align with existing plant networks. This setup minimizes panel wiring and simplifies commissioning, reducing installation time and risk.
The ACH580-31 is an ultra-low harmonic drive, engineered to minimize harmonic distortion on 460 V systems. This improves power factor, reduces transformer loading, and limits thermal stress on electrical components. Flowing from HVAC fans and pumps, the resulting power quality enhances reliability, lowers energy waste, and reduces maintenance intervals in demanding industrial environments.
Yes. The ACH580-31 packaged drive is designed for HVAC applications with a 1 to 400 hp range at 460 V. Its packaged enclosure, integrated control features, and protective protections support reliable operation of fans and pumps in commercial buildings, data centers, and other climate-control systems. Its local and serial communications capabilities facilitate seamless integration with building management systems for efficient operation.
The ACH580-31 is UL-listed for packaged-drive configurations and available in NEMA Type 1/12/3R enclosures, supporting safe indoor and outdoor-rated installations. For international deployments, CE compliance expectations help meet regulatory requirements across markets. These certifications aid in risk management, project approval, and easier acceptance by engineering standards bodies during procurement.
The packaged design reduces panel wiring and simplifies installation, which lowers upfront wiring costs and speeds commissioning. Built-in motor overload protection and a graphical local display speed up diagnostics, reducing maintenance labor. Serial communications enable proactive remote monitoring, enabling predictive maintenance and faster fault isolation, contributing to reduced downtime and improved lifecycle cost efficiency in HVAC systems.
