ABB
14 (of 62) 3BHS135824 ZAB E01Rev. D ACS 6000 Commissioning Manual
Follow the checklist of the commissioning report regarding converter
installation.
3.3.1 Ambient Conditions
Derating may be necessary due to the presence of elevated levels in
ambient air temperature, altitude from the sea level, or external cooling
water temperature.
Reffer the drive rating plate data for information.
Other ambient factors are:
• Relative humidity => Condensation is not allowed.
• Air contamination => No visible dust or corrosive gases.
• Shock and vibration => Drive not subjected to vibration.
3.3.2 Dimensions and Clearances
The converter must be mounted with adequate free space as
described in the ACS 6000 User’s Manual, Appendix D – Mechanical
Drawings.
Spaces for access to installation site (clearances of passageways etc.)
must follow the local requirements in each country.
3.3.3 Installation Place and Cable Ducts
The floor must be of non-flammable material, with smooth and non-
abrasive surface, protected against humidity diffusion, levelled and able
to support the weight of the drive cabinets (min. 1’000 kg/m2).
The maximum allowable overall unevenness is < 5 mm / 5 m. Check that
all converter doors can be opened and locked properly. If not, the
cabinet levelling needs improvement.
Cable ducts must be of non-flammable material, with non-abrasive
surface, and protected against humidity, dust and penetration of animals.
Take appropriate fire protection measures; e.g.seal all openings to
prevent the fire from spreading into the cabinets
3.3.4 Cooling Water System
The requirements for the raw water must be fulfilled. Refer to the Data
Sheets of the Water Cooling Units for details. The Data Sheets are
enclosed in Appendix A – Water Cooling Unit of the ACS 6000 User’s
Manual.
If you have any doubt about the local water quality contact ABB
immediately.
