Guidelines for planning the
cabinet installation
What this chapter contains
This chapter gives guidelines for planning drive cabinets and installing the drive
module into a user-defined cabinet. The chapter gives example cabinet layouts and
refers to free space requirements around the module for cooling. The guidelines are
essential for the safe and trouble-free use of the drive system.
Limitation of liability
You must always plan and make the installation according to applicable local laws
and regulations. ABB does not assume any liability whatsoever for any installation
which breaches the local laws and/or other regulations.
Installation position of the drive module
The drive module must be installed in an upright position. Vibration dampers are not
needed in cabinet installations.
Basic requirements for the cabinet
Use a cabinet which
• has a frame sturdy enough to carry the weight of the drive components, control
circuitry and other equipment installed in it
• protects the user and drive module against contact and agrees with the
requirements for dust and humidity
• has sufficient air inlet and outlet gratings that allow free flow of cooling air through
the cabinet. This is critical for proper cooling of the drive module.
