Drive mounting
This section provides guidelines to select the best mounting location to ensure the optimum performance,
cautions and warnings that you should follow to avoid injury and/or equipment damage. All the methods
described in this section are for SD700SP without solar kit.
Wall mounting drives
The variable speed drives of the SD700SP series from frame 1 to 4 are wall-mounting drives.
Additionally frame 4 has available an optional plinth that converts it into a stand-alone cabinet.
The installation method and mounting location must be suitable for the weight and dimensions of the
drive. Power electronics recommend hanging the SD700SP cabinet on a solid wall or structure through
the anchorages placed on the rear part of the
drive, which supports the VFD’s weight and the possible
forces generated by the wiring.

Stand alone drives
Frames 5 to 8 are designed to be placed over a technical floor, if needed there are available optional
plinths that increase the height of the drive from 1710mm to 2000mm or 2200mm. The floor must
guarantee a non-flammable, solid, plain and levelled surface to the drive, a minimum clearance around
it and a smoothly cable access. The maximum allowed slope is 1cm in every 6 meters. The installation
site should be levelled, if necessary, as the cabinet is not equipped with adjustable feet. The walls
adjoining the drive must be made of a non-flammable material. Fix the SD700SP cabinets to the wall
or floor by using the L brackets placed in both sides of the drive. They have an Ø11 hole and can be
use either in the legs or in the rear part of the drive.
