Plan the Kinetix 5500 Drive System Installation
This chapter describes system installation guidelines that are used in
preparation for mounting your Kinetix® 5500 drive components.
System Design Guidelines Use the information in this section when designing your enclosure and
planning to mount your system components on the panel.

System Mounting Requirements
• To comply with UL, CE, and UK requirements, the Kinetix 5500 drive
systems must be enclosed in a grounded conductive enclosure offering
protection as defined in standard IEC 60529 to IP20 such that they are
not accessible to an operator or unskilled person. A NEMA 4X enclosure
exceeds these requirements providing protection to IP66.
To maintain the functional safety rating of the Kinetix 5500 drive system,
this enclosure must be appropriate for the environmental conditions of
the industrial location and provide a protection class of IP54 or higher.
• The panel that you install inside the enclosure for mounting your system
components must be on a flat, rigid, vertical surface that is not subjected
to shock, vibration, moisture, oil mist, dust, or corrosive vapors in
accordance with pollution degree 2 (IEC 61800-5-1). These conditions are
required because the product is rated to protection class IP20
(IEC 60529).
• Size the drive enclosure so as not to exceed the maximum ambient
temperature rating. Consider heat dissipation specifications for all drive
components.
• Combined motor power cable length for all axes on the same DC bus
must not exceed 250 m (820 ft). Drive-to-motor cables must not exceed
50 m (164 ft), however use of continuous-flex cable and 2198-H2DCK

ATTENTION: Plan the installation of your system so that you can perform all
cutting, drilling, tapping, and welding with the system removed from the
enclosure. Because the system is of the open type construction, be careful
to keep metal debris from falling into it. Metal debris or other foreign matter
can become lodged in the circuitry and result in damage to the components.
