Installation Guidelines
This chapter describes the guidelines and wiring recommendations to be followed
when installing SA3100 Power Modules. The guidelines described cover Power
Module frame sizes B through H. This chapter provides general guidelines only.
System wiring is to be done according to the supplied wiring diagrams (W/Es), which
are application-specific.
3.1 Planning the Installation
An incorrectly applied or installed Power Module can result in component damage or
reduction in product life. Observe the following guidelines when planning your
installation:
• Locate the Power Module in a clean, cool, and dry area. Follow the
recommendations given in IEC 68 concerning environmental operating conditions.
• Allow adequate clearance for air ventilation.
• Ensure that surrounding components do not block service access to the Power
Module.
• Do not install above 1000 meters (3300 feet) without derating. See Appendix A.
• The relative humidity around the Power Module must be kept at 5 to 95%
(non-condensing).
• For open chassis drives, ambient operating temperature must remain between
0 and 50° C. For enclosed drives temperature must remain between 0 and 40° C.
• Refer to Appendix D for maximum motor cable lead lengths.
