Chapter 3 INSTALLATION AND WIRING
The 590 DRV Digital drive is designed to be relatively simple to install. You should review these procedures before
beginning them. If you do not understand the instructions or are unsure of your ability to perform the procedures,
contact Eurotherm Drives Customer Service.
RECOMMENDED TOOLS
Installing a 590 DRV Digital drive requires a few standard hand tools. A socket wrench to fit either ¼-20 or M6 (as
applicable) bolts and nuts is needed to mount the drive to the panel. Screwdrivers and a wire crimping tool are needed
to make various electrical connections. For installing DRVs larger than 162 amps, wrenches are needed to make some
of the electrical connections. Below is a list of some of the required tools.

VENTILATION AND COOLING REQUIREMENTS
The drive must be able to dissipate the heat generated during use. Therefore, mount the unit in a manner that allows a
free flow of cool air vertically through the drive. Reserve a minimum 1½"(38mm) clearance on the left side of the
drive to give the cover panels room to open properly. For 7.5 through 60 HP rated models, allow a minimum of
4"(100mm) of clear space above and below the drive to ensure adequate free air flow. Leave an additional 2"(50mm)
clearance above and below models rated 75 through 100 HP. Refer to the technical illustrations at the end of this
chapter for fan clearances required on all force fan ventilated units.
When mounting drives one above the other, allow at least 7"(175mm) between the top and bottom drives. Each drive
requires the same clearance as required when used singly. When mounting drives next to each other, leave
1½"(38mm) left to right between units.
Make sure the unit is not mounted on or next to equipment that will cause the drive to overheat. Normal maximum
ambient operating temperature is 113°F (45°C). Above this limit, the controller must be derated. The maximum
ambient operating temperature is 131°F (55°C).
The table below lists the heat dissipation in Watts of 590 DRV Digital drives through 400 horsepower (at 500 VDC).
The "*" in the catalog number designates either "R" or "N" (for regenerative or non-regenerative).
