Copeland ZR61K3ETFD Scroll Compressor 62000 Btu 460V

Product Description

The COPELAND ZR61K3ETFD is a three-phase scroll compressor rated at 5 horsepower and 62,000 BTU/h, designed for commercial and residential air conditioning and refrigeration systems operating on 460 volts. Scroll compressors use two interleaving spiral elements to compress refrigerant continuously, producing fewer moving parts, lower vibration, and higher efficiency compared to reciprocating designs. The ZR61K3ETFD is compatible with R22 and R407C refrigerants, making it a relevant option both for legacy systems and for R407C retrofit applications. Installation is performed by licensed HVAC technicians with proper refrigerant handling certification.

This compressor is suited for light commercial and large residential cooling equipment operating on 460-volt three-phase power. The dual refrigerant compatibility with R22 and R407C makes it applicable in retrofit scenarios where a system originally charged with R22 is being converted or serviced. Typical installations include rooftop units, split systems, and packaged air conditioning equipment in the 5-ton class. Always verify system charge requirements, oil type compatibility, and electrical supply specifications before installation.

Key Features

• 62,000 BTU/h cooling capacity suitable for approximately 5-ton applications
• Scroll compression design delivers smooth, continuous operation with reduced vibration
• Three-phase 460-volt operation for commercial and light industrial power circuits
• Compatible with both R22 and R407C refrigerants for legacy and retrofit use
• 5 HP motor rating matched to the ZR-series Copeland scroll compressor platform

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement scroll compressor for three-phase 460-volt air conditioning and refrigeration systems utilizing R22 or R407C refrigerant in the 5-ton, 62,000 BTU/h capacity class.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by an EPA Section 608 certified HVAC technician with authorization to handle refrigerants. Disconnect and lock out all electrical power and recover system refrigerant fully before removing the existing compressor. Verify that the replacement compressor oil type is compatible with the refrigerant in use, as R407C systems typically require POE oil rather than the mineral oil used with R22. Follow NEC requirements for three-phase motor wiring, overcurrent protection, and disconnect sizing.
