Installation of the inverter and enclosure design

When designing or manufacturing an inverter enclosure, determine the structure, size, and device layout of the enclosure by
fully considering the conditions such as heat generation of the contained devices and the operating environment. An inverter
unit uses many semiconductor devices. To ensure higher reliability and long period of operation, operate the inverter in the
ambient environment that completely satisfies the equipment specifications.
2.3.1
Inverter installation environment
The following table lists the standard specifications of the inverter installation environment. Using the inverter in an environment
that does not satisfy the conditions deteriorates the performance, shortens the life, and causes a failure. Refer to the following
points, and take adequate measures.

or less for the FR-F840-04320(185K) or higher.
 Temperature
The permissible surrounding air temperature of the inverter is between -10°C and +50°C (-10°C and +40°C at the SLD rating).
Always operate the inverter within this temperature range. Operation outside this range will considerably shorten the service
lives of the semiconductors, parts, capacitors and others. Take the following measures to keep the surrounding air temperature
of the inverter within the specified range.
 Measures against high temperature
• Use a forced ventilation system or similar cooling system. (Refer to
• Install the enclosure in an air-conditioned electric chamber.
• Block direct sunlight.
• Provide a shield or similar plate to avoid direct exposure to the radiated heat and wind of a heat source.
• Ventilate the area around the enclosure well.
 Measures against low temperature
• Provide a space heater in the enclosure.
• Do not power OFF the inverter. (Keep the start signal of the inverter OFF.)
 Sudden temperature changes
• Select an installation place where temperature does not change suddenly.
• Avoid installing the inverter near the air outlet of an air conditioner.
• If temperature changes are caused by opening/closing of a door, install the inverter away from the door.
