FAQs
The ACH180 HVACR Drive is a low-voltage AC drive designed for 230 V systems and is suitable for retrofit or new installations where 1.1 kW (IEC) or 1.5 Hp (UL) motors are in use. It supports compact form factors, simplifying panel integration and reducing wiring complexity. When evaluating compatibility, verify motor nameplate data matches the drive ratings and confirm cabling conforms to local electrical codes.
Key specs include a 1.1 kW (IEC) / 1.5 Hp (UL) rating at 230 V and currents of 6.9 A (IEC) or 6.6 A (UL). The drive provides speed control suitable for variable-air-volume applications, enabling smoother ramping, reduced mechanical stress, and energy savings. For selection, ensure motor affinity and application load profiles stay within these limits and consider enclosure ambient conditions.
Yes. The ACH180 is a compact LV AC drive module designed to fit tight spaces in commercial HVAC equipment like rooftop units and air handlers. Its small footprint reduces panel size and simplifies installation, while its robust HVACR feature set supports reliable operation in busy environments. Verify mounting clearance, wiring trays, and ventilation to maintain performance in crowded installations.
The drive carries UL-listed (1.5 Hp) performance for safe HVAC motor control and IEC compliance for standard electrical operation. These certifications support regulatory procurement, supplier qualification, and safety audits in many regions, helping to accelerate project approvals and reduce risk when integrating the ACH180 into commercial or industrial HVAC systems.
Expect energy savings from smooth motor control and efficient operation of fans and pumps, along with reduced wear due to soft-start and controlled acceleration. The compact design lowers installation and maintenance costs, while the simple setup minimizes commissioning time. Together, these factors contribute to a faster payback in retrofit projects and ongoing lifecycle cost reductions.
