ACS550
Quick Start Guide
ACS550-01 Drives (0.75…160 kW),
IP54 / UL Type 12 Enclosure
Overview
The installation of the ACS550 adjustable
speed AC drive follows the outline below.
Application
This guide provides a quick reference for
installations involving: ACS550-01 drives, cable
connections and IP54 / UL type 12 enclosures.
Note:
This guide does not provide detailed
installation, safety or operational
instructions. See
ACS550 User’s Manual
for
complete information.
Prepare for installation
WARNING!
The ACS550 should ONLY be
installed by a qualified electrician.
Unpack the drive
Note:
Lift the ACS550 by its chassis and not by its
cover.
1. Unpack the drive.
2. Check for any damage.
3. Check the contents against the order / shipping
label.
Check
• Motor compatibility – Motor type, nominal
current, frequency and voltage range must
match drive specifications.
• Suitable environment – Drive requires heated,
indoor controlled environment that is suitable
for the selected enclosure.
• Wiring – Follow local codes for wiring, circuit
protection and EMC requirements.
Refer to
User’s Manual
and confirm that all
preparations are complete.
Drive identification
Use the following chart to interpret the type
code found on the drive label.
Collect motor data
Collect the following data from the motor
nameplate for later use in the ACS550 startup:
• Voltage __________________________
• Nominal motor current ______________
• Nominal frequency _________________
• Nominal speed ____________________
• Nominal power ____________________
Tools required
Screwdrivers, wire stripper, tape measure,
mounting screws or bolts and drill.
Prepare the mounting location
The drive requires a
smooth, vertical, solid
surface, free from heat and
moisture, with free space for
air flow – 200 mm (8 in)
above and below.
1. Mark the mounting points
using the template.
2. Drill the mounting holes.
Remove the front cover
1. If hood is
present:
Remove screws
(2) holding hood
in place.
2. If hood is
present: Slide
hood up and off
the cover.
3. Loosen the
captive screws
around the edge
of the cover.
4. Remove the
cover.
Mount the drive
The holes providing for access to the drive
mounting slots require rubber plugs.
1. As required for access,
remove the rubber
plugs. Push plugs out
from the back of the
drive.
2. R5 & R6: Align the
sheet metal hood (not
shown) in front of the
drive’s top mounting
holes. (Attach as part of
next step.)
3. Position the ACS550 and securely tighten in all
four corners.
Note:
Lift the ACS550 by its metal chassis.
4. Reinstall the rubber plugs.
5. Non-English speaking locations: Attach a
warning sticker in the appropriate language
over the existing warning on the top of the
module.
Install the wiring
General wiring
1. Cut the rubber cable
seals as needed for the
power, motor and control
cables. The conical part
of the seals must face
downwards when
inserted in the lead-
through plate holes.
Wiring power
1. On the input power
cable, strip the
sheathing back far
enough to route
individual wires.
2. On the motor cable,
strip the sheathing
back far enough to
expose the copper wire shield so that the shield
can be twisted into a bundle. Keep the bundle
bundle not longer than five times its width to
minimize noise radiation. – 360° grounding
under the clamp is recommended for the motor
cable to minimize noise radiation. In this case,
remove the sheathing at the cable clamp
.
3. Route both cables through the clamps and
tighten the clamps.
4. Connect the bundle created from the motor
cable shield to the GND terminal.
5. Strip and connect the power/motor wires and
the power ground wire to the drive terminals
using the torques given in the table below. See
Power connections
below or, for more detail,
see
User’s Manual
