PART 1 - GENERAL
1.1 SCOPE
A. This section covers ac voltage source, pulse width modulated (PWM) type variable frequency
drives for variable speed variable torque fan and pump loads as shown on the drawings or
specified on project motor lists.
1. General. Equipment provided under this section shall be fabricated, assembled, erected
and placed in proper operating condition in full conformity with the drawings,
specifications, engineering data, instructions and recommendations of the equipment
manufacturer, unless the engineer notes exceptions.
2. Governing Standards. Each variable frequency drive shall be designed, constructed and
tested in accordance with the applicable standards of NEMA, ANSI, UL and IEEE and
shall be designed for installation in accordance with the NEC. The drives shall be UL
listed.
1.2 RELATED DOCUMENTS
A. Project motor list to contain application description, environmental descriptions for variable
frequency drive and motor information (if available). Drawings for the project are provided if
applicable.
1.3 SUBMITTALS
A. The shop drawing submittals shall include the following information for each size and type of
drive being furnished:
