HVAC VFD

HVAC VFD

/in /by

HVAC VFD (variable frequency drive)productscan decrease energy consumption by reducing the speed of an electric motor. This is possible because most machines do not require the maximum speed of an electric motor in order to meet its load requirements. Reducing the electric motor speed can also extend the lifetime of an electric motor by decreasing wear and tear on its motor parts.

AC Tech MCH Series is designed for HVAC VFD applications. The MCH Series can be used on integrated air, fluid, transfer systems, factory built penthouses with mechanical/electrical systems; complete heat transfer packages, refrigeration systems, and many other related HVAC VFD applications.The packaged MCH Series mechanical systems concept allows for users to decrease the total cost and meet production demands by regulating pumps, chillers and air handlers.The MCH Series is a good solution to increase performance while decreasing power consumption for HVAC VFD applications.

The MCH has automatic-transfer-to-bypass option and a disconnect option. The automatic-transfer-to-bypass option allows the motor to transfer from drive operation, and continueacross the line in bypass mode. This keeps machinery operating even when there’s an issue with the HVAC VFD.The MCH drive can be configured to attempt several restarts, but if the condition will not clear, the automatic-transfer-to-bypass function will transfer from drive operation toline power, without human intervention. The MCH allows for uninterrupted service under demanding circumstances.

MCH Series HVAC VFD Overview

The MCH Series drives were designed for the HVAC market and the specific requirements of industrial and commercial installations. Precision Electric can provide the stand-alone drive or packaged with an input disconnect, VFD fusing and line reactor or a full 3-contactor bypass configuration that also includes motor fusing, auto/manual bypass and 24VDC power supply.

The ACS550 series is ideal for those situations where there is a need for simple installation, commissioning and where custom or special engineering is not required. Download ABB VFD User Manuals.

ABB VFD ACS550 Packaged Systems

The ACS550-CC is a packaged version of the ACS550 series. Itis a complete drive with bypass package that includes the ACS550 VFD, a bypass function that allows the motor to be run at full voltage (in the event the drive is shut down for service), a main disconnect, branch circuit, short circuit and ground fault protection. Complete ACS550 systems are pre-engineered packaged systems that reduce time, effort and the cost of installation. The ACS550-CC bypass function is configured entirely of standard industrial control components. The ACS550-CC bypass package includes two electrically interlocked contactors, a motor overload relay, a control power transformer with primary and secondary fusing, and a cover mounted drive-off bypass selector switch. The ACS550-CC bypass is accomplished by means of the two contactors. One is the bypass contactor used to connect the motor directly to the power line. The second contactor is the output that disconnects the motor from t he drive output when operating in bypass mode. This prevents the back feeding that would occur if line voltage were applied to the drive output terminals. The ACS550-CC output contactor and the bypass contactor are electrically interlocked to prevent simultaneous operation.

ABB VFD ACS550 Enclosure Options

The ABB VFDACS550 series with bypass package is available in Nema 1 and Nema 12 enclosures through 100 horsepower in power ratings of 208-230 voltage. ABB VFD ACS550 with bypass packages are also available in Nema 1 and Nema 12 through 500 horsepower at 480 voltage and 150 horsepower at 600 voltage. For outdoor applications, Nema 3R enclosures are sheet steel construction with a tough powder coat paint finish for corrosion resistance and include a 100 watt, thermostatically controlled space heater and thermostatic control of the force ventilated cooling system as a standard. Technical documentation for the ABB VFD ACS550series can be downloaded from the ABB Website.
