12. CHARACTERISTICS
(2) Heat dissipation area for enclosed servo amplifier
The enclosed control box (hereafter called the control box) which will contain the servo amplifier
should be designed to ensure that its temperature rise is within 10
40
(104 ). (With a 5
(131 ) limit.) The necessary enclosure heat dissipation area can be calculated by Equation 12.1:
P

A
K
T
where, A
: Heat dissipation area [m
P
: Loss generated in the control box [W]
T : Difference between internal and ambient temperatures [ ]
K
: Heat dissipation coefficient [5 to 6]
When calculating the heat dissipation area with Equation 12.1, assume that P is the sum of all losses
generated in the enclosure. Refer to Table 12.1 for heat generated by the servo amplifier. "A" indicates
the effective area for heat dissipation, but if the enclosure is directly installed on an insulated wall,
that extra amount must be added to the enclosure's surface area.
The required heat dissipation area will vary wit the conditions in the enclosure. If convection in the
enclosure is poor and heat builds up, effective heat dissipation will not be possible. Therefore,
arrangement of the equipment in the enclosure and the use of a fan should be considered.
Table 12.1 lists the enclosure dissipation area for each servo amplifier when the servo amplifier is
operated at the ambient temperature of 40
When air flows along the outer wall of the enclosure, effective heat exchange will be possible, because
the temperature slope inside and outside the enclosure will be steeper.
