ACS 300 User’s Manual 11
Chapter 2 - Mechanical Installation
Cooling Cooling of the ACS 300 is based on natural air circulation or
by fan, depending on the type.
The maximum allowable ambient operating temperature is
50°C when the load current is lower than or equal to the con-
tinuous maximum load current I
N
and switching frequency is
lower than or equal to 8 kHz (3 kHz for model ACS 3_1-016-
3). See Figure 2-1 below for power derating curves.
The cooling air must be clean and free from corrosive materi-
als. If the cooling air contains dust, clean the cooling surfaces
of the unit regularly using compressed air and a brush.
ACS 300 AC drives are to be used in a heated, indoor, con-
trolled environment that is free of moisture and conductive
contaminates such as condensation, carbon dust and the like.
