PREPARATION FOR INSTALLING THE EQUIPMENT
PREPARATION FOR INSTALLING THE
EQUIPMENT
Site recommendations
When deciding the location of the equipment and planning its installation, it is recommended to follow a
series of guidelines derived from its characteristics.
To guarantee proper electrical installation, it is very important to comply with the bend radius of
the cable. The customer must ensure the cables enter the equipment perpendicularly and the spacing
between them is appropriate.
Avoid corrosive environments that may affect the equipment´s proper functioning.
The instructions given in this section must not replace in any way the mandatory regulations of
the country in which the equipment will be installed.
Prior to installation, a geotechnical study of the terrain where the equipment will be installed must
be carried out to determine its characteristics and to decide the most suitable type of foundation.
It is the customer's responsibility to design and build concrete foundations with the necessary
piping and ground network in accordance with the applicable regulatory requirements.
Proper installation is absolutely necessary and it is not within the scope of the manufacturer's
responsibility.
Soil
The soil should have the following characteristics:
• The soil must be dry, compacted, stable and homogeneous.
• The land will be gravel, ballast or pebbles.
• Do not install on floodplains, neither in places where objects can fall on.
• The land should be provided with a drainage system, especially in locations with high water tables
and/or heavy rainfall.
• It is recommended that the ground should not exceed the level of the foundation.
• Maximum permissible ground pressure of 150 KN/m
2
.
• Soil compaction degree of 98%.
• Maximum land unevenness of 0.25%.
• It must not be a direct place of passage so that the load cables do not interrupt the movement of
pedestrians or traffic.
