See Figure 3-1 for the space requirements.
•
If units are to be mounted next to each other, each unit must have two
inches (50 mm) of clear space, so that a total of four inches (100 mm)
between two units is available for proper cooling.
•
If units are mounted one above the other, at least 12 inches (300 mm) is
required between the units.
•
At least three (3) separate grounded conduits are required. One each for
input, output, and control wiring.
Figure 3-1 shows the space requirement for adequate cooling of the ACS 501.
