G Mounting the ACS 160 on Top of the Motor
To mount the converter on the top of the motor, a motor mounting kit is required.
1. Connect the motor either to star or delta configuration. Check the motor rating plate.
2. Connect the motor wires to the motor terminals.
3. Connect the earthing wire to the earthing connector of the motor.
4. Mount the adapter plate following the adapter plate installation instructions delivered with the
motor mounting kit.
5. Pull the wires through the converter and mount the converter.
Important! The correct mounting is shown in the figure above. The cooling ribs of the
ACS 160 must be located at the N-end. This is because the converter is cooled by the air flow
caused by the axial fan of the motor.
Use resistance measurements to verify correct earthing of motor and converter.
Note! Make sure the motor is properly aligned with its load and firmly fastened at the foot or flange.
Incorrect assembly can cause vibrations which might reduce lifetime.
If the motor has a PTC connection, parameter 3024
MOT THERM MODE must be set using the control
panel.
