2 Mechanical Installation and Wiring
2.1 Mechanical Installation
The AC drive must be installed in a noncombustible cabinet that provides effective electrical and mechanical protection for CE
requirements. Installation must conform to local and regional laws and regulations, and to relevant IEC requirements.
2.1.1 Installation Environment
Item Requirements
Cooling and
ventilation
Ensure the mounting location is as follows:
Install the AC drive on a backplate, and ensure there is sufcient space around the enclosure to
allow for efcient heat dissipation.
Mounting location
Ensure the mounting location is as follows:
Away from direct sunlight
In an area where the relative humidity is 95% RH or less with no condensation
Protected against corrosive, combustible or explosive gases and vapors
Free from oil, dirt, dust or metallic powders.
Vibration
Ensure the mounting location is not affected by levels of vibration that exceeds 0.6 g.
Avoid installing the enclosure near punching machines or other mechanical machinery that
generates high levels of vibration or mechanical shock.
Protective
enclosure
The AC drive must be installed in a noncombustible cabinet that provides effective electrical and
mechanical protection for CE requirements. Installation must conform to local and regional laws and
regulations, and to relevant IEC requirements.
Oil, dirt, dust
Direct sunlight
Strong vibration
High temperature, humidity
Corrosive, combustible or explosive gases
Combustible material
