Mechanical installation
Please pay attention to the requirements
that apply to integration and field mount-
ing kit, see the below list. The information
given in the list must be observed to avoid
serious damage or injury, especially when
installing large units.
The frequency converter
must
be installed vertically.
The frequency converter is cooled by means of air cir-
culation. For the unit to be able to release its cooling
air, the
minimum
distance over and below the unit
must be as shown in the illustration below.
To protect the unit from overheating, it must be ensur-
ed that the ambient temperature
does not rise above
the max. temperature stated for the frequency convert-
er
and that the 24-hour average temperature
is not
exceeded
. The max. temperature and 24-hour aver-
age can be seen from the
General Technical Data
.
If the ambient temperature is in the range of 45°C -55°
C, derating of the frequency converter will become rel-
evant, see
Derating for ambient temperature
.
The service life of the frequency converter will be re-
duced if derating for ambient temperature is not taken
into account.
