ENCLOSED ADJUSTABLE FREQUENCY DRIVES (1 TO 500 HP)
Note to Specifier: These specifications apply to
Enclosed Adjustable Frequency Drive Contr ollers,
herein referred to as AC Drives. The power
converter is a component of the AC Drive. To
ensure project compatibility, these specifications
follow the Construction Specifications Institute
(CSI) format. Copies of this specificati on are
available from the SquareD® website,
www.squared.com. Application information
directly affects the type and rating of AC Drive that
will be quoted. [Brackets] are provided where
such data and options should be included or
considered depending on application
requirements. Please contact your local Square D
distributor or sales representative for specification
assistance regarding a particular application. The
AC Drive specification should be included in
Division 16 (Electrical) for proper coordination
with the electrical distribution system.
