Place and Conditions of Installation
WARNING!
Install the Regulator in an environment and under conditions as specified in this document only. The
Regulator is to be attached to a solid base, mounted with the heatsink fins in a vertical position.
Ensure free space around Regulator to provide sufficient cooling air circulation.
The available output power as specified in this document strongly depends on the ambient conditions of the
device. Refer to chapter 4.1 for more information.
7.5.1
Position
WARNING!
A vertical position of the heatsink cooling fins is required to maximize the efficiency of convection cooling. If
the Regulator is positioned differently, the maximum continuous power available may be reduced.
7.5.2
Air Flow Required
The heat power of the Regulator is dissipated by convection and radiated cooling only. Ensure that free flow of air is guaranteed
around the device at all times. It is essential to make sure that the air flow is not hindered in any way by objects and that the device
is protected from additional heating, i.e. exposure to sun light or hot air flow from inverters, proximity to brake resistors.
Confined areas should be adequately ventilated, allowing also for the heat generated by the Regulator which
can reach about 400 W under full load conditions.
Positions where free air flow around the device and more specifically around the heatsink is not sufficiently
provided, i.e. close or directly against an obstacle, will lead to higher local temperature and therefore cannot
be allowed generally.
Failure to satisfy these requirements may result in reduced performance, damage and/or reduction in
lifetime.
