170M5013 ACH40264003x 170M6012 Note: Fuses listed are similar in function to fuses listed in the ACH 400 User’s Manual, physical characteristics may differ. Fuses from other manufacturers can be used if they meet the ratings given in the table. The fuses recommended in the table are UL recognized.
ACH 400 is out of service. The other contactor is the ACH 400 output contactor (1M for R1 through R4 and 3M for R5 through R9) that disconnects the ACH 400 from the motor when the motor is operating in the Bypass mode.
The LED is red when the overload has tripped or the bypass control board has faulted. Drive Run LED The Drive Run LED is illuminated green when the ACH 400 drive is running. Drive Fault LED The Drive Fault LED is illuminated red when the motor or drive protection functions have shut down the ACH 400.
Reset Key The Reset key resets the bypass fault. Drive Select Key The Drive Select key selects the ACH 400 drive as the power source for the motor. Bypass Select Key The Bypass Select key selects the bypass as the power source for the motor.
If the bypass is switched to the Bypass mode, the motor will stop. Bypass/Drive If the ACH 400 is in the Auto mode and the motor is running in the Drive mode transfers mode, the motor will transfer to bypass operation if the bypass is switched to the Bypass mode and the bypass is in the Auto mode.
ACH 400 is deenergized or if a fault has occurred. The Inverter Run relay is energized when the ACH 400 is running. The N.O. contact of this relay is connected in parallel with the N.O. contact of the Bypass Run relay to provide an output that is closed when the motor is running whether powered by the ACH 400 drive or the bypass.

Chapter 3 – Installation Instructions Electrical Installation Cable Entries Most ACH 400 Electronic Bypass drives are configured for wiring access from the bottom only. Types ACH 401612032 and ACH 401614032 are configured for wiring access from the top only. At least three separate conduits are required, one for input power, one for output power to the motor and one for control signals.
Figure 3-1 shows the Electronic Bypass wiring connection points for R1 - R4 frame sizes. Other frames sizes are addressed in the section Connection Points on page 3-16. Refer to the ACH 400 User’s Manual for control connections to the drive.
Chapter 3 – Installation Instructions Input Wiring The ACH 400 with Electronic Bypass is designed for use on a three-phase system. Four wires (three phase wires plus a ground wire) are required for the input wiring. All field power wiring shall be copper, rated for 60°C if rated for less than 100 amps or 75°C if rated 100 amps or more.
WARNING! Check the motor and motor wiring insulation before connecting the ACH 400 to line power. Follow the procedure provided below. Before proceeding with the insulation resistance measurements, check that the ACH 400 is disconnected from incoming line power. Failure to disconnect line power could result in death or serious injury.
