E-Bypass Power Features
2-Contactor: Output and Bypass
• Overload protection in bypass mode
• Electrically interlocked
Drive Isolation
Drive Service Switch allows the drive to be disconnected
from power during troubleshooting without disrupting bypass
operation.
Input Device
• Disconnect with fuses.
• (Optional) Circuit breaker.
• All doors are interlocked and can be padlocked
5% Input Impedance
• Internal reactors lower harmonics that the drive
produces.
• BT300 E-Bypass requires no additional input reactors
E-Bypass Control Features
Auto Bypass
• Relay logic allows the user to send the motor to bypass
mode based on the drive’s programmable fault list.
• Customer defines the events which will transfer to
bypass.
• The drive’s programmable relay can be set up for
applications that run full speed for an extended period
of time.
Damper Interlock
• Generally used for safety tie-ins; the motor will not
operate the drive or bypass when open.
• Enables a circuit signaling the system is ready for
bypass.
Essential Service Mode
• Also used for smoke purge; the motor goes to bypass
regardless of the selected mode.
• No call to stop will have an effect, including open
safety or stop commands.
• Only turning the power off or opening this contact will
stop the motor.
Remote Bypass
Customer-supplied start/stop controls when running in
bypass.
Electronic Override
• Full bypass control, even if the control module
(intelligence) fails. As long as power is supplied to the
bypass, you have full bypass capability.
• Maintains all system safeties in bypass.
