AC30 series Variable Speed Inverter
MOUNTING THE INVERTER
These units are not suitable for wall mounting. They must be mounted vertically inside an additional enclosure. Depending on required level of
EMC compliance refer to Appendix C "Compliance".
Note: Frame H, J & K only
These models are heavy and will require two people to lift, or the use of a fork lift to install it. The product will stand vertically on flat surfaces.
VENTILATION
The inverter gives off heat in normal operation and must therefore be mounted to allow the free flow of air through the ventilation slots and
heatsink. Maintain minimum clearances for ventilation as given in the tables below to ensure adequate cooling of the inverter, and that heat
generated by other adjacent equipment is not transmitted to the inverter. Be aware that other equipment may have its own clearance
requirements. When mounting two or more inverters together, these clearances are additive. Ensure that the mounting surface is normally cool.
Minimum Air Clearance
Cubicle-Mount Product/Application
(Europe: IP2x, USA/Canada: Open Type).
The inverter must be mounted in a suitable cubicle.
