Place the control board(s) away from:
• main circuit components such as contactors, switches and power cables
• hot parts (heatsink, air outlet of the drive module).
￭
Grounding of mounting structures
Arrange the grounding of the module by leaving the contact surfaces of the fastening points
unpainted (bare metal-to-metal contact). The module frame is grounded to the PE busbar
of the cabinet via the fastening surfaces, screws and the cabinet frame. Alternatively, use
a separate grounding conductor between the PE terminal of the module and the PE busbar
of the cabinet.
Ground also the other components in the cabinet according to the principle above.
￭
Busbar material and joints
ABB recommends tin-plated copper, but aluminum can also be used.
Note: Before joining aluminum busbars, remove the oxide layer and apply suitable
anti-oxidant joint compound.
￭
Shrouds
The installation of shrouds (touch protection) to fulfill applicable safety regulations is the
responsibility of the drive system builder.
Ready-made shrouding parts are available from ABB for some cabinet designs, see the
ordering information.
