Installation Requirements; Cooling Requirements - Danfoss VLT HVAC Drive FC 102 Operating Manual

Operating Guide | VLT® HVAC Drive FC 102
Motors with class d/e protection
The motor itself has an e ignition protection class, while the motor cabling and connection environment are in compliance with the d
classification. To attenuate the high peak voltage, use a sine-wave filter at the drive output.
MOTOR THERMISTOR SENSOR MONITORING
Units with the VLT® PTC Thermistor Card MCB 112 option are PTB-certified for potentially explosive atmospheres.

4.4 Installation Requirements

OVERHEATING
Improper mounting can result in overheating and reduced performance.
Install the drive according to the installation and cooling requirements.
-
• Locate the unit as near to the motor as possible. See
• Ensure unit stability by mounting the unit to a solid surface.
• Enclosures E3h and E4h can be mounted:
- Vertically on the back plate of the panel (the typical installation).
- Vertically upside down on the back plate of the panel. Consult the factory.
- Horizontally on its back, mounted on the back plate of the panel. Consult the factory.
- Horizontally on its side, mounted on floor of the panel. Consult the factory.
• Ensure that the strength of the mounting location supports the unit weight.
• Ensure that there is enough space around the unit for proper cooling. Refer to
• Ensure enough access to open the door.
• Ensure cable entry from the bottom.

4.5 Cooling Requirements

OVERHEATING
Improper mounting can result in overheating and reduced performance.
Install the drive following the installation and cooling requirements.
-
• Ensure that top and bottom clearance for air cooling is provided. Clearance requirement: 225 mm (9 in).
• Provide sufficient airflow flow rate. See
• Consider derating for temperatures starting between 45 °C (113 °F) and 55 °C (131 °F) and elevation 1000 m (3300 ft) above sea
level. For more information, see the product-specific design guide.
The drive utilizes a back-channel cooling concept that removes heat sink cooling air. The heat sink cooling air carries approximately
90% of the heat out of the back channel of the drive. Redirect the back-channel air from the panel or the room by using either:
