SUGGESTED SPECIFICATIONS FOR ATV58 TYPE H CONTROLLERS
NOTE: These specifications are for adjustable frequency drive controllers or herein referred to as AC
drives. The Construction Specifications Institute (CSI) format has been conformed with for project
compatibility. Copies of this specification are available on IBM floppy disk or 100% IBM compatible
formats as well as Macintosh configurations. Application information directly affects the type and size of
AC drive that will be quoted. Brackets are provided where such data should be included. Please call your
local Square D distributor or sales engineer for specification assistance regarding a particular
application. For better coordination, the AC drive specification should be included in Division 16 for
Electrical Work.
PART 1: GENERAL
1.01 Scope of Work
a. This section provides specification requirements for AC inverter type adjustable frequency, variable
speed drives or herein identified as AC drives for use with [NEMA B, NEMA A, NEMA C, NEMA E,
synchronous] design, AC motors.
1.02 Quality Assurance
a. The AC drive and all options shall be UL Listed according to Underwriters Laboratories.
b. The AC drive shall be designed, constructed, and tested in accordance with NEMA, ICS, NFPA, IEC
standards and CSA certified.
c. The manufacturer of the AC drive shall be a certified ISO 9002 facility.
d. The AC Drive manufacturer shall offer 24 hour, 7 day product and application response via a
nationwide network of factory certified technical support personnel.
1.03 Warranty

from the date of start-up or 18 months from date of shipment.
PART 2: PRODUCTS
2.01 Acceptable Manufacturers
a. The AC drive shall be an Altivar 58 TRX supplied by the Schneider Electric /Square D
Company or prior approved equal, no substitutions are permitted.
2.02 General Description
a. The AC drive shall convert the input AC mains power to an adjustable frequency and voltage as
defined in the following sections.
b. The input section shall contain a common mode choke and or an internal line reactor.
c. The rectifier section shall convert fixed voltage, fixed frequency, AC line power to fixed DC voltage.
The rectifier section shall utilize a full wave bridge design incorporating diode rectifiers. The rectifier
shall be insensitive to phase rotation of the AC line. The DC voltage shall be filtered.
d. The inverter section shall change fixed DC voltage to variable frequency AC. The inverter section
shall utilize only intelligent power modules (IPMs) as required by the current rating of the motor.
2.03 Motor Data
a. The AC drive shall be sized to operate a [NEMA design B] AC motor with a nameplate rating as
defined in the National Electric Code, table 430-149, for the applicable horsepower.
