Mechanical installation
What this chapter contains
This chapter describes the mechanical installation procedure of the ACS800-67LC
converter.
Safety
See chapter Safety instructions.
Checking the installation site
See page 128 for allowable operating conditions, and page 124 for requirements for free
space around the converter cabinet.
The converter cabinet must be installed in an upright vertical position. (For tilted
installations, contact your local ABB representative.)
The floor that the unit is installed on must be of non-flammable material, as smooth as
possible and strong enough to support the weight of the unit. Anything located immediately
next to the converter cabinet must be of non-flammable material. The floor flatness must
be checked with a spirit level before installing the cabinet into its final position. The
maximum allowed deviation from the surface level is 5 mm in every 3 metres. The
installation site should be leveled, if necessary, as the cabinet is not equipped with
adjustable feet.
