teeth or drive shafts. The VFD shall catch a fan spinning in the reverse direction without tripping. The panel shall include a main disconnect with short circuit pro- tection and external operating handle, lockable in the off position for safety. The system shall include a solid state, PI temperature controller to adjust fre- quency output of the drive in response to the tower fluid temperature. The temperature of the fluid and set point shall be displayed on the door of the control panel. The bypass shall include a complete magnetic bypass circuit with capability to isolate the VFD when in the bypass mode. Transfer to the bypass mode shall be automatic in the event of VFD failure or for specific trip conditions allowing safe transfer of utility voltage to the motor. Automatic bypass with an earth ground condition is not allowed. The bypass contactor shall be cycled on and off while operating in bypass, to maintain the set-point temperature of the fluid. The drive design shall be oper- ated as a stand-alone system without the need for a BMS system. Operator controls shall be mounted on the front of the enclosure and shall consist of start and stop control, bypass/VFD selector switch, Auto/Manual selector switch, manual speed control, and solid-state temperature controller. An emergency bypass selector switch internal to the panel allowing the fluid cooler fan motor to be run at full speed shall be furnished. To prevent heating problems in the fluid cooler fan motor and to assure proper gear box lubrication the VFD system shall de energize the motor once 25% motor speed is reached and cooling is no longer required. The VFD shall include de-icing logic with auto canceling and adjustable time. Speed in De-Ice mode shall not exceed 50% motor speed. The fluid cooler manufacturer shall supply VFD start-up assistance. Tower vibration testing throughout the speed range is required to identify and lockout any natu- ral frequency vibration levels which may exceed CTI guidelines.
