Planning the cabinet assembly
What this chapter contains
This chapter guides in planning the installation of a drive module into a user-defined
cabinet. The issues discussed are essential for safe and trouble-free use of the drive
system.
Note: The installation examples in this manual are provided only to help the installer
in designing the installation. Please note that the installation must, however,
always be designed and made according to applicable local laws and
regulations.
ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation
which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations.
Cabinet construction
The cabinet frame must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive
components, control circuitry and other equipment installed in it.
The cabinet must protect the drive module against contact and meet the
requirements for dust and humidity (see the chapter
Technical data ).
Disposition of the devices
For easy installation and maintenance, a spacious layout is recommended. Sufficient
cooling air flow, obligatory clearances, cables and cable support structures all
require space.
For layout examples, see section Cooling and degrees of protection below.
Grounding of mounting structures
Make sure all cross-members or shelves on which drive system components are
mounted are properly grounded and the connecting surfaces left unpainted.
Note: Ensure that the components are properly grounded through their fastening
points to the installation base.
Note: It is recommended that the mains filter (if present) and the drive module be
mounted on the same mounting plate.
