Guidelines for planning the
cabinet installation

Contents of this chapter

This chapter guides in planning drive cabinets and installing the drive module into a user-
defined cabinet. The chapter gives cabinet layout examples and free space requirements
around the module for cooling. These guidelines are essential for the safe and trouble-free
use of the drive system.

Limitation of liability

You must always plan and make the installation according to applicable local laws and
regulations. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation which
breaches the local laws and/or other regulations.

Installation positions of the drive module

You can put the drive module in the bookshelf position in a cabinet.

Basic requirements for the cabinet

Use a cabinet which
•
has a frame sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive components, control
circuitry and other equipment installed in it
•
protects the user and drive module against contact and agrees with the requirements
for dust and humidity
•
has sufficient air inlet and outlet gratings that allow free flow of cooling air through the
cabinet. This is critical for proper cooling of the drive module.
