Conduit Entry Points; Using Gland Plates For Cable Conduit Entry And Exit - Advanced Energy AE 600 User Manual

Advanced Energy
Alternate methods of lifting and positioning the inverter may be used. Proper
methods may include the use of a crane with a strap rated for the weight of the
inverter; however, care MUST be taken to protect the inverter from
compressive stresses or forces which may dent or deform the cabinet or cause
damage to the inverter. Use of lifting beams, spreader bars, or similar
equipment rated for the weight of the inverter can be employed for this purpose.
5. Secure the inverter to the mounting surface by setting the anchoring hardware
through each of the six holes in the external mounting flange on the base of the
unit.
Refer to the mechanical drawings in the Appendix to review the anchoring
locations.
6. Replace the cover plates over the fork slots.

CONDUIT ENTRY POINTS

The inverter is shipped from the factory with side and bottom gland plates that allow
for conduit entry.
☞
Important
All penetrations in the inverter cabinet must be through the specified gland
plates which are for the sole purpose of providing a safe and convenient way to
route wiring in to and out of the inverter. Penetrating the inverter housing in
any other location besides the gland plates voids the warranty.
☞
Important
Do not block the cabinet's side access with conduit.
☞
Important
Do not attach conduit support structure to the cabinet.
The bottom of the inverter has collared entry conductor chases available in the DC
and AC landing compartments. The bottom left side gland plates can be removed to
expose the chases as an alternative to the gland plates.

Using Gland Plates for Cable Conduit Entry and Exit

All power cabling and communications wiring must enter and exit via the inverter
cabinet's gland plates. There are gland plates on the AC and DC sides of the inverter
for bottom and side entry. In addition, there is a gland plate on the upper left side for
data monitoring wiring. Each gland plate location is selected to ensure safe
installation, proper airflow and prevention of dust, debris, moisture, insect, and
animal incursion. Do not penetrate the cabinet at any other location. All gland plates
except those covering the bottom entry chases need to be installed for proper
operation of the inverter.
