Ventilation and cooling
Figure 4.7.1 - Installation on plain floor
Figure 4.7.2 - Installation on raised floor
The heat produced by the PDU is transferred to the environment by its ventilation.
Ventilation air enters the cabinet through vented kickplates and exits through a vent located on top of the
cabinet. Solid kickplates may be used if the PDU is installed on a raised floor with chilled air being fed through the
floor.
Note!
Do not put anything on the top of the cabinet.
18” (460mm) of air clearance from the top must be left free of any object for a sufficient exhausted
air exchange, proper cooling, service access and safety.
Air filtering systems could be required when the PDU operates in a dirty environment.
In order to prevent the system from overheating, proper ventilation must be provided in order to extract the heat
generated by the PDU. Ensure that the ambient temperature is kept within the specified operating range of 32°F
to 104°F (0°C to 40°C). Contact your
ABB
Service Center
for appropriate solutions.
