Air flow around the soft starter
Heat is blown up from inside the soft starter by the small built-in fan. Leave space around the soft starter for ample air flow
through the soft starter cabinet. Any equipment placed above the soft starter should be heat resistant.

Arrangement of multiple soft starters
When encasing multiple soft starters in the same cabinet, generally arrange them horizontally as shown in the right Figure 10
(a). When it is inevitable to arrange them vertically to minimize space, take such measures as to provide guides since heat from
the bottom soft starters can increase the temperatures in the top soft starters, causing soft starter overheating.

Arrangement of multiple soft starters in a single cabinet
When mounting multiple soft starters, take caution not to make the surrounding air temperature of the soft starter higher
than the permissible value by providing ventilation and increasing the cabinet size.
