FAQs
The ACH580 HVAC drive is designed for wall-mount installation in LV AC applications. Begin with a solid wall-morne location that provides clear access to the control panel and connectors. Verify 400 V supply, 38 A current rating, and 18.5 kW power, then follow the HVAC-specific startup menu to configure fan, pump and compressor control curves. Use the optional Bluetooth module for remote commissioning if on-site access is limited. Ensure IP21 enclosure compliance, with IP55 options for harsher environments.
Key electrical specs include 18.5 kW rated power, 38 A current, and 400 V input. The unit is designed for LV AC networks and supports HVAC loads such as fans, pumps and compressors. It comes in standard IP21 enclosure with IP55 options and is UL-listed for safety and reliability. The drive supports HVAC-specific control modes and is compatible with wall-mounted installations in mechanical rooms or service closets.
Yes. The ACH580 is purpose-built for HVAC applications, including fans, pumps, compressors, air-handling units, and chillers. Its built-in HVAC control features simplify startup and operation, while its energy-efficient speed control improves overall system performance. The IP ratings and wall-mounted form factor facilitate retrofit and new installs in limited spaces, making it suitable for commercial, healthcare, and data-center environments.
The drive is UL-listed for safety (Pld 25 Hp rating context) and supports robust enclosure options (IP21 standard, IP55 available). While CE certification is common in many regions, the documented references here emphasize UL listing and IP-rated enclosures as key compliance points. These protections support reliable operation in critical HVAC applications and align with industry safety requirements.
By delivering precise speed control and integrated HVAC functions, the ACH580 reduces energy consumption and wear on motors, lowering operating costs. The intuitive UI shortens commissioning and reduces field service time. Optional Bluetooth enables remote diagnostics, reducing site visits. Overall, this translates to lower maintenance costs, shorter project timelines, and a faster return on investment for HVAC upgrades.
