Drive Specifications
This section gives the overall specifications of the drive, including mechanical details
and environmental requirements.
3.1
Mechanical specification
The dimensions of the Q-Drive are as follows:
Height
400 mm
Width
115 mm
Depth
290mm
Weight
4 kg
IP Rating
IP20
The drive is designed to be mounted with the circuit board vertical, to allow cooling air
circulation by convection. There should be at least 100mm clearance above and below
the unit to allow free air flow. If the unit cannot be mounted with the drive vertical, then
a fan must be fitted to blow air through the unit. The 18 amp model has built in fans for
forced cooling, the fans are optional on other models.

Relative humidity:
20 to 80% non-condensing
The drive may be operated at higher ambient temperatures, but will require additional
cooling such as forced air ventilation in order to do so. The drive is normally supplied
in a case or chassis with ventilation holes top and bottom, and therefore is not protected
against dust, particles, or liquids. If necessary, the unit can be supplied in a suitable
sealed cabinet. Please contact your sales office or Quin Systems directly for further
details.
3.3
Power supply specification
Supply voltage
3 x 220V AC +/- 15%
Supply frequency
45 to 65 Hz
An additional single phase 230V AC supply is required to keep the resolver interface
powered when the main three phase supply to the drive is interrupted, i.e. during an E-
stop situation. If this auxiliary supply is fitted it is very important to ensure that the
correct phases are used, this is explained further in section 5.3 on page 25.
