1-2 Installation/Wiring
Operating Temperatures
PowerFlex 700 drives are designed to operate at 0° to 40° C ambient.
To operate the drive in installations between 41° and 50° C, see below.
Table 1.A Acceptable Surrounding Air Temperature & Required Actions
Minimum Mounting Clearances
Specified vertical clearance requirements are intended to be from drive
to drive. Other objects can occupy this space; however, reduced airflow
may cause protection circuits to fault the drive. In addition, inlet air
temperature must not exceed the product specification.
PowerFlex 700 drives are suitable for use on a circuit capable of
delivering up to a maximum of 200,000 rms symmetrical amperes, and a
maximum of 600 volts.

IP20 (NEMA Type 1) general purpose enclosures are intended for indoor use primarily to provide a
degree of protection against contact with enclosed equipment. These enclosures offer no
protection against airborne contaminants such as dust or water.
(2)
Removing the adhesive top label from the drive changes the NEMA enclosure rating from Type 1 to
Open type.

To remove vent plate (see page A-20 for location), lift top edge of plate from the chassis. Rotate
the plate out from the back plate.
