Guidelines for planning the mechanical installation 45
Prevent hot air circulation inside the cabinet with, for example, leak-proof air baffles. No
gaskets are usually required.

Required free space
Free space around the drive module is needed for ensuring that sufficient cooling air flows
through the module and the module cools correctly.
The required free space at the top and bottom of the drive module is shown below. The
modules can be installed side by side.

Other installation positions
Contact your local ABB representative for more information.
Drive module on its back
If you install the drive module on its back, make sure that the hot cooling air that flows
upwards from the module does not cause danger.

Planning the placement of the control panel
The control panel can be mounted onto the cabinet door using a control panel mounting
platform (J410). For the installation instructions, refer to
DPMP-01 mounting
platform for ACS-AP control panel (3AUA0000100140 [English]) or DPMP-02 mounting
platform for ACS-AP-X control panel (3AUA0000136205 [English]).

Planning the use of cubicle heaters
Use a cubicle heater if there is a risk of condensation in the cabinet. Although the primary
function of the heater is to keep the air dry, it may also be required for heating at low
temperatures.
