3.2 Installation Environment

NOTICE
REDUCED LIFETIME
In environments with airborne liquids, particles, or
corrosive gases, ensure that the IP/Type rating of the
equipment matches the installation environment. Failure
to meet requirements for ambient conditions can reduce
lifetime of the frequency converter.
•
Ensure that requirements for air humidity,
temperature, and altitude are met.
Vibration and shock
The frequency converter complies with requirements for
units mounted on the walls and floors of production
premises, and in panels bolted to walls or floors.
For detailed ambient conditions specifications, refer to
chapter 8.2 General Technical Data.

3.3 Mounting

Select the best possible operation site by considering:
•
Ambient operating temperature.
•
Installation method.
•
Cooling.
•
Position of the frequency converter.
•
Cable routing.
•
Power source supplying correct voltage and
necessary current.
•
Motor current rating within the maximum current
from the frequency converter.
•
Correct rating of external fuses and circuit
breakers.
Cooling and mounting:
•
Provide top and bottom clearance for air cooling,
see Table 3.2 for clearance requirements.
•
Consider derating for temperatures starting from
45 °C (113 °F) and elevation 1000 m (3281 ft)
above sea level. See the design guide for details
on derating.
