🔌 Power & Motor Interface
The 8BVI0660HWS0.000-1 connects to the ACOPOSmulti DC bus at a nominal 750 VDC. The motor interface provides U, V, W and PE connections through M8 threaded bolts, with a separate shield connection.
At the nominal 5 kHz switching frequency, the module provides up to 66 Aeff continuous current and 132 Aeff peak current. The permitted continuous-current capability is reduced as switching frequency and operating temperature increase, so the actual usable current must be evaluated against the installation conditions.
The maximum motor cable length specified by B&R is 25 m at 5, 10, and 20 kHz switching frequencies.
🧩 Plug-in Module Capability
The inverter has two slots for ACOPOSmulti plug-in modules. This allows additional application-specific functions to be integrated into the inverter architecture.
B&R also specifies an ACOPOSmulti accessory set for encoder buffering, while the terminal block set 8BZVI1650S0.000-1A is listed as a mandatory accessory for this inverter family.
🏭 Typical Applications
The 8BVI0660HWS0.000-1 can be used in industrial motion-control systems requiring high-current ACOPOSmulti single-axis drive control.
Typical applications include:
- Industrial machinery
- Packaging equipment
- Material-handling systems
- Production and assembly equipment
- CNC and machine-tool applications
- High-power servo/motion systems
- Automated manufacturing lines
- Replacement of ACOPOSmulti inverter modules
It is intended to operate as part of a complete B&R ACOPOSmulti system rather than as a standalone general-purpose inverter.

🛠️ Installation & Maintenance Notes
This is a high-power drive component connected to a high-voltage DC bus. Installation and servicing should be performed by qualified personnel using the applicable B&R ACOPOSmulti installation procedures.
Before replacement:
- Confirm the exact material number and hardware revision.
- Isolate the DC bus and verify that the bus voltage has discharged to a safe level.
- Record motor, brake, temperature-sensor and shield connections.
- Check the installed plug-in modules.
- Verify terminal blocks and mounting hardware.
- Confirm motor current and switching-frequency requirements.
- Check cooling and ambient-temperature conditions.
- Restore the configuration and perform controlled commissioning.
The manufacturer’s documentation should be used for final wiring, commissioning, and safety procedures.
