Introduction
Application Considerations
Altivar 660 Process Drives are designed for use in two operating modes that can optimize the drive nominal rating according to the system constraints:
-
Normal duty (ND): Dedicated mode for applications requiring a slight overload (up to 110%) with a motor power no higher than the drive nominal power
-
Heavy duty (HD): Dedicated mode for applications requiring a significant overload (up to 150%) with a motor power no higher than the drive nominal power derated by one rating.

Terminology
The following terminology is used in this instruction bulletin:
-
Enclosed drive or process drive refers to the combination of the drive, enclosure, and the power and control circuits that constitute the ATV660 Process Drive.
-
Drive or power converter refers to the ATV630 or ATVG60 components.
-
Bypass, or integral bypass starter, refers to the optional, integrated full voltage combination starter in the ATV660 Process Drive. When provided, the integral bypass starter may be used to start and run the motor in the unlikely event that the drive becomes inoperable.
Product Overview
The ATV660 Process Drive is for industrial, municipal, and high end commercial applications. All ratings are UL 508A Listed, with selectable control and power configurations.
Two power converters are used in the ATV660 Process Drive:
-
ATV630 for 1–125 hp ND
-
ATVG60 for 150–900 hp ND
This instruction bulletin contains information about the ATV660 Process Drive. Since the process drive is engineered to order, your equipment may not have the same features, functions, or characteristics described in this document. For information specific to your process drive, consult the additional documentation shipped with it.
