PART 1 GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE
A. This document is for the procurement of only one component of the system and
does not include requirements for the overall system design. Factors such as
fault levels, torsional analysis, motor design, voltage drop, etc., also need to be
included in the overall system design, but are outside the scope of this
Specification. This Specification does not include the requirements for the
motor. When a coordinated package is required, the Buyer shall also include an
additional motor specification. More consideration will be given to a bidder that
manufactures and guarantees both the motor and ASD.
1.3 REFERENCES

following industry standards and industry practices shall be considered an
integral part of this Specification. Short titles will be used herein when
appropriate.

Clamp (NPC) type. The output devices shall be Insulated Gate Bipolar
Transistors (IGBTs) with a voltage rating of at least 3300V. Use of lower rated
devices is unacceptable due to the quantity of devices required in the design.
E. All components and material shall be new and of the latest field-proven design
and in current production. Obsolete components or components scheduled for
immediate discontinuation shall not be used.
1.6 SUBMITTALS
A. The Supplier shall furnish two (2) copies of the following documents with the

3. Heat loss data for each typical unit
4. Drive system efficiency, including the effects of transformers, fans and
other devices.
5. Outline drawings with weights and dimensions for all components
required to meet the specification.
6. Warranty details.
B. The Manufacturer shall submit drawings and data of the type and quantity
shown in the table below.
2. Printed circuit boards shall be tested prior to assembly into the ASD. The printed circuit
boards shall go through a burn-in at 60° C for a minimum of 24 hours.
3. Individual power cells shall undergo a visual inspection, an electrical inspection, and a
complete full load test prior to final assembly into the ASD.
4. Mechanical operation tests shall be performed for each ASD to verify satisfactory
operation. These tests shall include checking operating mechanisms and interlock
devices.
5. Electrical function tests shall be performed to ensure proper operation of all devices and
components including operation of the ASD at full load conditions. Instrumentation,
software, and monitoring tests shall be included.
6. The final assembly including transformer shall be tested at full load and voltage by a
power back method that returns drive output power to the power line. An unloaded full
voltage motor shall also be used during testing.
7. A test record for each ASD shall be furnished as part of the final data
requirements.
1.8 RELIABILITY
A. The ASD shall be designed with a Mean Time Between
Failure of at least 16 years.
1.9 WARRANTY
A. Seller shall warrant the equipment for a period of 5 years from date of shipment for
equipment to be installed and operated in North America. For North American installations,
warranty shall cover both parts and labor for required repairs.
B For equipment to be installed and operated in other areas of the world, warranty
shall extend for a minimum of 12 months after startup, 18 months after
shipment. Inclusion of labor for repairs may vary depending on location.
C. Seller must state clearly the details of warranty offered with his equipment.
A. Commissioning and Startup Services must be available from the supplier’s local
field engineering service group. A field service engineer shall be available 24
hours per day, 365 days per year.
B. The Supplier shall provide a software tool with operational, maintenance and diagnostic
features. Using a Buyer supplied IBM compatible PC, this software shall permit the
programming of parameters, display block diagrams, show bar graphs, report adjustment
data, display trends, provide troubleshooting using first fault data/trace back data/trouble
record, and contain links to system documentation and to system help. In addition, the
software tool shall have the following features:
1. Ethernet interface with drive
2. Animated function block diagrams with real time variables
3. Commissioning wizards
4. Integrated trending window.

1. ENCLOSURE CONSTRUCTION
a. The ASD enclosure shall be suitable for installation in an indoor, unclassified area.
b. All enclosure openings exceeding 0.25 inch (6 mm) width shall be provided with
screens to prevent the entrance of snakes, rodents, etc. The maximum screen mesh
opening width shall be 0.25 inch (6 mm).
c. A “loss of cooling” fault shall be furnished. In the event of clogged filters or fan
failure, the drive will produce an alarm and then in a predetermined time shutdown
safely without electronic component failure. If specified on the data sheet, optional
redundant fans, shall be available in the drive design as backup in the event of fan
failure.
d. Air filters shall be of a reusable type that can be easily cleaned. All doors or front
panels will be fully gasketed. Air exhaust from cooling fans will be at the top of the
enclosure away from personnel in front of the equipment.
e. Fan motors shall be protected by an input circuit breaker. Metal squirrel cage ball
bearing 460V three phase fan motors with 10-year design life are to be used in the
drive design. Plastic muffin fans are not acceptable. Fan power will be obtained
from [a remote 460V three-phase power, from a tap on the main power] transformer.
f. The maximum noise level of the unit shall not exceed 78 dBA at a distance of 1
meter from the unit and at a height of 1.5 meters from the floor.
g. The drive, including incoming disconnect and integral transformer should not be
greater than the dimensions shown in the table at the end of this specification.
h. Use Manufacturer’s standard finish unless otherwise shown on the Data Sheet.
b. The space heater circuit shall turn on when the drive is not
operating. Thermostatic control cannot determine the dew point.

for total harmonic current and voltage distortion measurement and
calculation. Voltage distortion shall not exceed 5% and current
distortion shall not exceed 3% to the utility line. Individual current
harmonics shall not exceed the requirements of IEEE 519.
4. POWER BUS
a. All power bus bars, when part of the standard design, and
other high current carrying parts shall be tin-plated copper for corrosion
resistance. Power bus bar joints shall be plated.

d. If specified on the Data Sheet, the ASD shall return the motor
to operating speed upon restoration of power following a voltage
interruption on the AC incoming line.
f. If specified on the Data Sheet, the ASD shall have the ability
to smoothly transfer the motor to and from the power line. When
multiple motors are specified, this feature allows the acceleration and
synchronization of a motor to line voltage and speed and then allows
another motor to be run at adjustable speed.
g. If specified on the Data Sheet, the ASD shall have the ability
provide electronic braking to slow the motor down.
a. The latest 8 faults and alarms are logged in trace memory with
64 analog channels. The trace for each alarm is started 50 ms before the
