For backplane power loading requirements of other ControlLogix power 
supplies, refer to the ControlLogix Selection Guide, publication 1756-SG001. 
In this example, the amount of power dissipated inside the cabinet is the sum 
of the Kinetix 2000 system value (387 W) and the ControlLogix system value 
(34 W) for a total of 421 W. 
With no active method of heat dissipation (such as fans or air conditioning) 
either of the following approximate equations can be used. 
The maximum ambient rating of the Kinetix 2000 system is 50 °C (122 °F) 
and if the maximum environmental temperature is 30 °C (86 °F) then Q=606 
and T=20 in the equation below.
In this example, the enclosure must have an exterior surface of 4.58 meters
2
. If
any portion of the enclosure is not able to transfer heat, it should not be 
included in the calculation. 
Since the minimum cabinet depth to house the 230V drive (selected for this 
example) is 200 mm (7.9 in.), then the cabinet needs to be approximately 
2000 mm (78.7 in.) high x 1000 mm (39.4 in.) wide x 200 mm (7.9 in.) deep. 
2 x (0.2 x 1.0) + 2 x (0.2 x 1.0) + 2 x (1.0 x 2.0) = 4.8 m

2 x (
7.9
x 39.4) + 2 x (
7.9
x 39.4) + 2 x (39.4 x 78.7) = 48 ft.

Because this cabinet size is considerably larger than what is necessary to house 
the system components, it may be more efficient to provide a means of cooling 
in a smaller cabinet. Contact your cabinet manufacturer for options available to 
cool your cabinet.
