Cabinet Construction And Air Conditioning; Directives And Standards - Siemens SINAMICS G130 Engineering Manual

█

Cabinet construction and air conditioning

The modular concept of SINAMICS chassis units allows for a wide range of different device combinations. A
description of each individual combination cannot, therefore, be provided here. This section simply aims to provide
fundamental principles and general rules designed to ensure that special device combinations are properly
configured.
The various local regulations and standards must also be observed. You are advised to carefully observe the
information provided in the safety instructions, which can be found in the manuals and the documents accompanying
the components supplied.
