Chapter 3 Installation
Minimum Mounting Clearance and Installation
Prevent fiber particles, scraps of paper, shredded wood, sawdust, metal particles, etc. from adhering
to the heat sink.
Install the AC motor drive in a metal cabinet. When installing one drive below another one, use a
metal separator between the AC motor drives to prevent mutual heating and to prevent the risk of
accidental fire.
Install the AC motor drive in Pollution Degree 2 environments only, where normally only non-
conductive pollution occurs and temporary conductivity caused by condensation is expected.
Mount the drive in an IP54 cabinet in order to maintain the Pollution Degree 2 or in a pollution-
controlled environment.

NOTE
The minimum mounting clearances A–C in the table above apply to AC motor drives installation. Failing to follow the
minimum mounting clearances may cause the fan to malfunction and heat dissipation problems may occur.
