SP500 AC Drive Installation and Operation Manual Version 3.1
2.3 Identifying the Drive by Model Number
A model number identifies each SP500 AC drive. See figure 2.4. This number appears 
on the shipping label and on the drive’s nameplate located on the right side of the 
drive housing. The drive’s model number contains codes that indicate: input voltage 
range, enclosure rating, and horsepower rating. See section 2.3.1 for more 
information on the drive power ratings. See section 2.3.2 for more information on the 
drive enclosure ratings.
All SP500 drives described in this instruction manual function in the same manner. To 
identify the mechanical differences between certain models, the manual uses the 
notation in table 2.1.
