Note: Use an extra exhaust fan if the air outlet is on the cabinet door.

Arrange the cooling air flow through the components according to the technical data in the
respective hardware manual. See the specifications for:
• cooling air flow
Note: The values stated for each component in their respective manuals apply to
continuous nominal load. If the load is cyclic or less than nominal, less cooling air is
required.
• allowed ambient temperature and temperature rise inside the cabinet
• allowed pressure drop over the cabinet that the cooling fan can overcome
• air inlet and outlet sizes required for cooling and recommended filter material (if used).
Note: The heat dissipated by cables and other additional equipment must also be ventilated.
The internal cooling fans of the converter modules and filters are usually sufficient to keep
the component temperatures low enough in IP20 and IP42 cabinets. Additional fans are
present in the example designs as needed. If you install additional heat-generating
components to the cabinet, make sure to upgrade the cooling system accordingly.
In IP54 cabinets, thick filter mats are used to prevent water splashes from entering the
cabinet. This requires the installation of additional cooling equipment, such as a hot air
exhaust fan.
