This information is unique to ACH550 input disconnect configurations (PCR or PDR). 
The ACH550 with Input Disconnect is an ACH550 AC adjustable frequency drive 
packaged with an input disconnect switch or circuit breaker. Refer to the Installation 
instructions on page 3, for all other information. Failure to observe the warnings 
and instructions may cause a malfunction or personal hazard.
WARNING! Before you begin read Safety on page 2.
WARNING! When the ACH550 with Input Disconnect is connected to the line power, 
the Motor Terminals T1, T2, and T3 are live even if the motor is not running. Do not 
make any connections when the ACH550 with Input Disconnect is connected to the 
line. Disconnect and lock out power to the drive before servicing the drive. Failure to 
disconnect power may cause serious injury or death.

WARNING!
• Metal shavings or debris in the enclosure can damage electrical equipment and 
create a hazardous condition. Where parts, such as conduit plates require cutting 
or drilling, first remove the part. If that is not practical, cover nearby electrical 
components to protect them from all shavings or debris. 
• Do not connect or disconnect input or output power wiring, or control wires, when 
power is applied.
• Never connect line voltage to drive output Terminals T1, T2, and T3.
• Do not make any voltage tolerance tests (Hi Pot or Megger) on any part of the 
unit. Disconnect motor wires before taking any measurements in the motor or 
motor wires.
• Make sure that power factor correction capacitors are not connected between the 
drive and the motor.
