Installation Guidelines
Mounting: Due to the 86.5 kg weight and Frame F size, ensure the mounting surface is reinforced and rated to support the drive securely.
Thermal Management: This drive generates significant heat; ensure ample airflow and vertical clearance as specified in the service manual to maintain the 98.2% efficiency.
Cabling: Use appropriately rated heavy-gauge cabling for high-current inputs (240 A nominal) to prevent voltage drop and overheating.
Environment: Install in a clean, dry, and temperature-controlled environment to protect the sensitive internal control circuitry.
Safety: Ensure proper protective earth (PE) grounding due to the high-power three-phase input requirements.
