FAQs
The ACH580 Packaged Drive is offered in UL-listed NEMA Type 1, 12, or 3R enclosures with a door-mounted input disconnect. Installation is simplified by pre-wired internal components, a compact footprint, and a standard control interface. It supports easy mounting in equipment rooms or cabinets, with straightforward wiring to external controls and serial communications for BAS integration.
The drive provides built-in electronic motor overload protection that continuously monitors current and torque, trip values, and fault conditions. It protects the motor from overcurrent, stalls, and prolonged overload, reducing risk of motor damage, extending motor life, and improving overall system reliability in HVAC applications.
Yes. The packaged drive supports 1 to 350 HP at 230/460/575 V, enabling scalable motor control from small fans to large pumps without requiring multiple SKUs. This simplifies procurement, reduces stocking complexity, and ensures consistent performance across varied HVAC loads.
The unit features a door-mounted graphical control panel, external control connections, and serial communications capability. It enables local operation and remote integration with BAS/SCADA networks, supports standard industrial protocols, and facilitates remote diagnostics, data logging, and centralized energy optimization.
Deploying a packaged ACH580 drive reduces wiring complexity, cabinet footprint, and commissioning time, while consolidating control, protection, and disconnect functions in a single enclosure. These factors lower installation costs, spare parts variety, and maintenance effort, delivering faster service and a lower total cost of ownership over the equipment lifecycle.
