Installation conditions for motor starters

Observe the following installation conditions when using an ET 200SP motor starter:
● Mounting position
You can fit the motor starter vertically or horizontally. The mounting position refers to the
alignment of the mounting rail The maximum permissible ambient temperature range
depends on the mounting position:
– Up to 60° C: Horizontal mounting position
– Up to 50° C: Vertical installation position
You also need to consider the current carrying capacity of the ET 200SP components.
In the case of a vertical mounting position, use end retainers "8WA1808" at both ends of
the ET 200SP station:
● Mounting rail
Use one of the following mounting rails:
– 35x15 mm DIN rail in accordance with DIN EN 60715
– 35x7.5 mm DIN rail in accordance with DIN EN 60715
– SIMATIC S7 mounting rail
● Current carrying capacity of the ET 200SP station
Current carrying capacity refers to the current load via the power bus and the infeed bus
of the ET 200SP station.
Depending on the ambient conditions and mounting position, you have to take account of the
fan unit or additional mechanical fixings.
Mechanical brackets
Use the mechanical brackets in the following situations:
● When using a 15 mm mounting rail with a single motor starter installation, i.e. no motor
starter mounted directly next to it in the system
● With a vertical mounting position
● For applications according to shipbuilding standards in all mounting positions with 7.5 mm
and 15 mm mounting rails
