3.0 PLANNING BEFORE INSTALLING
This chapter provides information that must be considered when planning a GV3000 drive
installation. Installation site requirements, drive requirements, and wiring requirements are presented.
DANGER
ONLY QUALIFIED ELECTRICAL PERSONNEL FAMILIAR WITH THE CONSTRUCTION AND
OPERATION OF THIS EQUIPMENT AND THE HAZARDS INVOLVED SHOULD INSTALL, ADJUST,
OPERATE, OR SERVICE THIS EQUIPMENT. READ AND UNDERSTAND THIS MANUAL AND OTHER
APPLICABLE MANUALS IN THEIR ENTIRETY BEFORE PROCEEDING. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
DANGER
THE USER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR CONFORMING WITH ALL APPLICABLE LOCAL, NATIONAL, AND
INTERNATIONAL CODES. WIRING PRACTICES, GROUNDING, DISCONNECTS, AND
OVERCURRENT PROTECTION ARE OF PARTICULAR IMPORTANCE. FAILURE TO OBSERVE THIS
PRECAUTION COULD RESULT IN SEVERE BODILY INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE.
CAUTION: Use of power correction capacitors on the output of the drive can result in erratic operation of the
motor, nuisance tripping, and/or permanent damage to the drive. Remove power correction capacitors before
proceeding. Failure to observe this precaution could result in damage to or destruction of the equipment.
3.1 Requirements for the Installation Site
It is important to properly plan before installing a GV3000 drive to ensure that the drive's environment
and operating conditions are satisfactory. Note that no devices are to be mounted behind the drive.
This area must be kept clear of all control and power wiring. Read the following recommendations
before continuing with drive installation.
3.1.1 Making Sure Environmental Conditions are Met
Before deciding on an installation site, consider the following guidelines:
D Verify that NEMA 1 drives can be kept clean, cool, and dry.
D The area chosen should allow the space required for proper air flow as defined in section 3.1.2.
D Be sure that NEMA 1 drives are away from oil, coolants, or other airborne contaminants.
D Do not install the drive above 1000 meters (3300 feet) without derating output power. For every
91.4 meters (300 feet) above 3300 feet, derate the output current 1%.
D Verify that the drive location will meet the environmental conditions specified in table 3.1.
