ACH550-UH User’s Manual 3
Safety
Safety
Warning! The ACH550 adjustable speed AC drive should ONLY be installed by
a qualified electrician.
Warning! Even when the motor is stopped, dangerous voltage is present at the
Power Circuit terminals U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2 and, where present, UDC+,
UDC-, BRK+ and BRK-.
Warning! Dangerous voltage is present when input power is connected. After
disconnecting the supply, wait at least 5 minutes (to let the intermediate circuit
capacitors discharge) before removing the cover.
Warning! Even when power is removed from the input terminals of the
ACH550, there may be dangerous voltage (from external sources) on the
terminals of the relay outputs R01…R03.
Warning! When the control terminals of two or more drive units are connected
in parallel, the auxiliary voltage for these control connections must be taken
from a single source which can either be one of the units or an external
supply.
Warning! The ACH550-UH is not a field repairable unit. Never attempt to repair
a malfunctioning unit; contact the factory or your local Authorized Service
Center for replacement.
Warning! The ACH550 will start up automatically after an input voltage
interruption if the external run command is on.
Warning! The heat sink may reach a high temperature. See "Technical Data" on
page 225.
Warning! If the drive will be used in a floating network, remove screws at EM1
and EM3 (Frame size R1…R4), or F1 and F2 (Frame size R5 or R6). See
diagrams on page 14 and page 15 respectively.
Note! For more technical information, contact the factory or your local ABB sales
representative.

Safety
Use of Warnings and Notes
There are two types of safety instructions throughout this manual:
• Notes draw attention to a particular condition or fact, or give information on a
subject.
• Warnings caution you about conditions which can result in serious injury or death
and/or damage to the equipment. They also tell you how to avoid the danger. The
warning symbols are used as follows:
Dangerous voltage warning warns of high voltage which can cause physical
injury and/or damage to the equipment.
General warning warns about conditions, other than those caused by
electricity, which can result in physical injury and/or damage to the equipment

Preparing for Installation
Lifting the Drive
Lift the drive only by the metal
chassis.
Unpack the Drive
1. Unpack the drive.
2. Check for any damage and
notify the shipper immediately
if damaged components are
found.
3. Check the contents against
the order and the shipping label to verify that all parts have been received.
Drive Identification
Drive Labels
To determine the type of drive you are installing, refer to either:
• Serial number label attached on upper part of the chokeplate between the
mounting holes.
• Type code label attached on the heat sink – on the right side of the unit cover.

Type Code
Use the following chart to interpret the type code found on either label.
Ratings and Frame Size
The chart in "Ratings"on page 225 lists technical specifications, and identifies the
drive’s frame size – significant, since some instructions in this document, vary,
depending on the drive’s frame size. To read the Ratings table, you need the “Output
current rating” entry from the type code (see above). Also, when using the Ratings
tables, note that there are two tables based on the drive’s “Voltage rating”.
Motor Compatibility
The motor, drive, and supply power must be compatible:
Tools Required
To install the ACH550 you need the following:
• Screwdrivers (as appropriate for the mounting hardware used)
• Wire stripper
• Tape measure
•Drill

Installation
• Frame Size R5 or R6 with IP 54 / UL type 12 enclosure: Punch for conduit
mounting holes
• Mounting hardware: screws or nuts and bolts, four each. The type of hardware
depends on the mounting surface and the frame size:
Suitable Environment and Enclosure
Confirm that the site meets the environmental requirements. To prevent damage
prior to installation, store and transport the drive according to the environmental
requirements specified for storage and transportation. See "Ambient Conditions" on
page 244.
Confirm that the enclosure is appropriate, based on the site contamination level:
• IP 21 / UL type 1 enclosure. The site must be free of airborne dust, corrosive
gases or liquids, and conductive contaminants such as condensation, carbon
dust, and metallic particles.
• IP 54 / UL type 12 enclosure. This enclosure provides protection from airborne
dust and light sprays or splashing water from all directions.
Suitable Mounting Location
Confirm that the mounting location meets the following constraints:
• The drive must be mounted vertically on a smooth, solid surface, and in a suitable
environment as defined above.
• The minimum space requirements for the drive are the outside dimensions (see
"Outside Dimensions" on page 243), plus air flow space around the unit (see
"Cooling" on page 240).
• The distance between the motor and the drive is limited by the maximum motor
cable length. See either "Motor Connection Specifications" on page 232, or
"EN61800-3 Compliant Motor Cables" on page 235.
• The mounting site must support the drive’s modest weight. See "Weight" on page
242.
Installing the Drive
Warning! Before installing the ACH550, ensure the input power supply to the
drive is off.
