4.6  Isolated power unit installation

4.6.1  Access and clearance

To maintain accessibility and serviceability of the unit via the 
cabinet doors, the front and rear of the IPU should be spaced 
at least 1m from any walls. This also aids in ventilation of the 
units.

If the IPU cabinets are required to be serviceable to the point 
where the primary IPU transformer may be removed in the 
future, make allowance for enough spacing between the rear 
of the unit to fit the length of a forklift and associated lifting 
tines, and additional maneuvering space.

4.6.2  Foundation - precast preparation

Foundation design and preparation is the responsibility of the 
customer. Device footprints are provided by Siemens for hole 
drilling and conduit/cable location guidance. 

For a full-scale drawing of Figure 5 and Figure 6, see the 
following documents respectively:

•  Siemens VersiCharge Ultra 175 Foundation Template

•  Siemens VersiCharge Ultra 175 Cable Entry Diagram

Note:

 A mounting stencil may be supplied by Siemens at 

customer request. All lengths in the below figures are  
specified in millimeters.
