Parker AC10 rating details from 0.18kW to 2.2kW - 230V single-phase and 400V three-phase
Up to 2.2kW, the AC10 is available as a 230V single-phase or 400V three-phase unit. The nameplate on the side of the unit will give the voltage rating and should be reviewed before installation, as applying 400V to a 230V unit will cause damage.

Control terminals for units up to 22kW (Frame Sizes 1 to 5)
Control terminals for units 30kW and above (Frame Sizes 6 to 11)
From 30kW and above, the I/O increases slightly with the addition of two digital inputs and one digital output.
Below is the default wiring diagram for the AC10. This is applicable to all units. Additional digital I/O available on the larger units is not shown.
Parker AC10 installation guidelines
The AC10 VSDs detailed on this page are IP20 units and should be mounted in a suitable control cabinet. At 30kW and above, the drives are supplied in a metal enclosure suitable for wall mounting, but only in clean environments free from dirt, dust and moisture. The IP rating of these larger units is still IP20, although the terminals are shrouded in a gland box.
If a higher IP rating is required, the AC10 is also available in an IP66 format.
Parker AC10 options and accessories
The AC10 does not include an internal option slot. An optional remote keypad with lead and a programming cable for PC connection are available.
