Rockwell Automation 1557 MEDIUM VOLTAGE AC DRIVE - Manual (Page 188)

8-2 INSTALLATION
1557-UM050E-EN-P – June 2013
WARNING: Care must be exercised when using either a forklift or the pipe rolling
technique for positioning purposes to ensure that the equipment is not scratched,
dented or damaged in any manner. Always exercise care to stabilize the drive
during handling to guard against tipping and injury to personnel.
NOTE: It cannot be sufficiently stressed how important it is that the customer installation duties are
performed correctly. Any errors will certainly cause delays in the Drive Commissioning, if not damage as
well.
Never attempt to lift or move the drive by any means other than the methods listed, as structural damage
or personal injury could result. The following methods of handling are recommended:
Overhead Lifting:
SEE FIGURE 8.1
1. Attach rigging to the lifting angles on the top of the cabinetry.
CAUTION: Insure that the load rating of the lifting device and rigging is sufficient to safely raise the drive.
Refer to shipping weights on the packing slip enclosed with the shipment.
2. Do not pass ropes or cables through the support holes in the lifting angles. Use slings with safety
hooks or shackles.
3. Select or adjust the rigging lengths to compensate for an unequal weight distribution of load and
maintain the drive in an upright position.
4. To reduce the tension on the rigging and the compressive load on the lifting device, do not allow the
angle between the lifting cables/chains and vertical to exceed 45 degrees.
CAUTION: Drives may contain heavy equipment that could be adversely affected by tilting.
