Planning the cabinet installation

What this chapter contains

This chapter guides in planning the installation of a converter module into a user-
defined cabinet. The chapter gives free space requirements around the module for
cooling, cabinet cooling data and layout examples. The issues discussed are
essential for the safe and trouble-free use of the drive system.
Note: The installation must always be designed and made according to applicable
local laws and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any
installation which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations.

Cabinet construction

The cabinet frame must be sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive
components, control circuitry and other equipment installed in it.
The cabinet must protect the converter module against contact and meet the
requirements for dust and humidity, see chapter Technical data in ACS800-04/04M/
U4 Hardware Manual [3AFE64671006 (English)].

Disposition of the devices

For easy installation and maintenance, a spacious layout is recommended. Sufficient
cooling air flow, obligatory clearances, cables and cable support structures all
require space.
The control boards must not be installed near main circuits or hot parts.
The following sections show a few layout examples. For example layouts in
Rittal TS 8 cabinet, refer to ACS800-04/U4 Rittal TS 8 Cabinet Installation
[3AFE68372330 (English)].
