3.1 How to Get Started
This chapter covers mechanical and electrical installations to and from
power terminals and control card terminals.
Electrical installation of
options
is described in the relevant Operating
Instructions and Design Guide.
The frequency converter is designed to achieve a quick and EMC-cor-
rect installation by following the steps described below.
Read the safety instructions before installing the unit.
Failure to follow recommendations could result in death or serious injury.

3.2.1 Planning the Installation Site
NB!
Before performing the installation it is important to
plan the installation of the frequency converter. Ne-
glecting this may result in extra work during and af-
ter installation.
Select the best possible operation site by considering the fol-
lowing (see details on the following pages, and the respective
Design Guides):
•
Ambient operating temperature
•
Installation method
•
How to cool the unit
•
Position of the frequency converter
•
Cable routing
•
Ensure the power source supplies the correct voltage and nec-
essary current
•
Ensure that the motor current rating is within the maximum
current from the frequency converter
•
If the frequency converter is without built-in fuses, ensure
that the external fuses are rated correctly.
