Guidelines for planning the mechanical
installation
Contents of this chapter
This chapter guides in planning drive cabinets and installing the drive module into a
user-defined cabinet. The chapter gives cabinet layout examples and free space
requirements around the module for cooling. These drive-specific guidelines are
essential for the safe and trouble-free use of the drive system.
For general instructions, see Cabinet design and construction instructions for drive
modules (3AUA0000107668 [English]) .
Installation alternatives
The drive module can be installed from the flange onto a cabinet wall or a mounting
plate with the heatsink (degree of protection IP55) in a cooling air channel or outside
protected against humidity, dust and chemical gases according to the ambient
conditions requirements given in section
Ambient conditions (page 150) . The control
circuit compartment side of the module (degree of protection IP20) is to be installed
in clean air. The drive module can also be installed from the heatsink with mounting
brackets (option 3AXD50000303533).
The drive module can be cabled from top or bottom to cable connection terminals or
sideways with busbars directly to the module busbars at its side.
Channel installation
￭
Basic requirements for the channel wall
The channel wall where the drive module is mounted on must be non-flammable and
sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive module.
