Mounting the Converter

General installation details are given below for mounting the Converter, however, if you are
installing the unit with an EMC filter refer to "
page 3- 1 7.
2 7 H
Mount the unit vertically on a solid, flat, vertical surface. It is mounted using bolts or screws
into four fixing points (keyhole slots). The design allows the use of 100mm grid fixing.
It must be mounted inside a suitable cubicle. To comply with the European safety standards
VDE 0160 (1994)/EN50178 (1998), the cubicle must require a tool for opening.

Ventilation and Cooling Requirements

Refer to Chapter 11: "Technical Specifications" - Cooling.
The Converter gives off heat in normal operation and must therefore be mounted to allow the
free flow of air through the air entries and exits. Maintain the minimum air clearances given on
the drawings to ensure that heat generated by other adjacent equipment is not transmitted to the
Converter, be aware that other equipment may have its own clearance requirements. When
mounting two or more 590's together, these clearances are cumulative.
Ensure that the mounting surface is normally cool.
Refer to Chapter 13: "Standard and Optional Equipment" - Heatsink Cooling Fan Connections
for fan connection details.

AC Line Choke

We recommend that you always use the specified ac line choke with the Converter
to provide a known supply impedance for effective operation of the thyristor transient
suppression circuits.
Refer to Chapter 11: "Technical Specifications" - External AC Supply (RFI) Filters and Line
Choke for selection details.
