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 V
erify 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
. F
or every
91.4 meters (300 feet) above 3300 feet, derate the output current 1%.
D V
