Means to effect proper air flow through the enclosure Enclosure Ventilation When fitting EEC’S EGS Series into a cabinet, ensure proper heat dissipation. The formula below can help provide approximations of the space required. Note: These would not be required for any NEMA 1 / IP21-41 application. - Page 5 Installation (continued) Handling The EGS Series soft starter range comprises 3 frame sizes, with various weights and dimensions. See pages 5-7 for further information. Prior to installing the EGS unit, the installer should carry-out a risk assessment. If considered appropriate, a suitable handling device should be used.
