iPOS360x HX-CAN Technical Reference
3.2 Mechanical Mounting
The iPOS360x HX-CAN
drive is intended to be mounted vertically or horizontally on a metallic support using the provided
mounting holes and the recommended mating connectors.
For thermal calculations, each iPOS360x drive can be assumed to generate 1 Watt at idle, and up to 5 Watts (= 17
BTU/hour) worst case while driving a motor and using all digital outputs.
The iPOS360x HX-CAN drive(s) can be cooled by natural convection. The support shall be thermally conductive
(metallic), and can be mounted vertically or horizontally.
Figure 3.2.1.
Recommended spacing go vertical and horizontal mounting, worst case: non-metallic, closed box
The figures above shows the minimum spacing to assure proper airflow by natural convection.
If closed completely in a box, ventilation openings shall be foreseen on the top and bottom sides.
If ventilation driven by natural convection is not enough to maintain the temperature surrounding the iPOS360x HX-CAN
drive(s), then alternate forced cooling methods must be applied.
Remark:
In case of using a metallic box, with ventilation openings, all spacing values may be reduced
substantially. With proper ventilation, keeping the air surrounding the iPOS360x HX-CAN inside the limits
indicated, the spacing values may be reduced down to zero
.
3.3 EMC recommendations
The drive is compliant to the requirements of the following European directives, when installed as described in this User
Manual:
•
93/68/EEC CE Marking Directive
•
2014/30/EU Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive
•
EN 61800-3:2012 Adjustable speed electrical power drive systems, Part3: EMC
•
product standard
The drive shall be installed as shown in the Figure below, in order to meet the above EMC requirements:
Figure 3.2.1
EMC recommended connections
* if +Vmot to capacitor wire length
≥
2m, use twisted wires for the supply and ground return (Vmot and GND)
* if +Vmot to capacitor wire length
≥
20m, the capacitor value must be
≥ 2200 µF.
